Tears of Pearl

Lady Emily, Book 4

De: Tasha Alexander

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

Set amid the beauty and decadence of the Ottoman Empire, Lady Emily's latest adventure is full of intrigue, treachery, and romance.

Looking forward to the joys of connubial bliss, newlyweds Lady Emily and Colin Hargreaves, diplomats of the British Empire, set out toward Turkey for an exotic honeymoon. But on their first night in the city, a harem girl is found murdered, strangled in the courtyard of the Sultan's lavish Topkapi Palace. Sir Richard St. Clare, an Englishman who works at the embassy in Constantinople, is present and recognizes the girl as his own daughter who was kidnapped twenty years earlier. Emily and Colin promise the heartbroken father that they'll find her killer, but as the investigation gains speed, they find that appearance can be deceiving - especially within the confines of the seraglio.

As a woman, Emily is given access to the forbidden world of the harem and quickly discovers that its mysterious, sheltered walls offer no protection from a ruthless murderer. As the number of victims grows, Emily must rely on her own sharp wits in a heart-stopping finale if she is to stop a killer bend on exacting vengeance no matter how many innocent lives he leaves in his wake.

I love this series!

I enjoyed this book as I have all in the series I have listened to. I felt I knew the characters as I listened to my first one. I find the reader to be excellent and enjoy the pace of the stories. I wish I could have read them in order but find it easy to adjust to the times in their lives. Highly recommend.

Tears of Pearl

An unexpected adventure with murder, mystery, suspense and great sadness.

On their honeymoon Emily and Colin find themselves embroiled in everything but their honeymoon.

On to the next!

Exciting surroundings in this Mystery!

This mystery is set in Turkey during the last of the Ottoman Empire. Our heroine is on her honeymoon but a complex mystery must be solved! Quite an intricate one!

Please Don't Use This Narrator Again

I'm sorry Justine Eyre was chosen. This may be a good book, but from the beginning I could hardly listen to the Narrator. Please find another profession.

I wish all Tasha Alexander books were read by Tasha Amato! No there's a wonderful reader! All her "voices" sound genuine and real.

Thank Justine Eyre!

This installment, and the next, with Justine Eyre reading made me so happy. I am so loving the escape of this series, the characters, and on the narration (but for book 3, just power through, you can do it). Excited to listen to the next.
