But when one of the house guests is murdered, her brother-in-law asks her to aid the insufferable Sebastian Gage - a fellow guest with some experience as an inquiry agent. While Gage is clearly more competent than she first assumed, Kiera isn't about to let her guard down, as accusations and rumors swirl.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Huber's protagonist is complex and likable and the well-lotted mystery is filled with fascinating secondary characters. The setting is lavishly portrayed...you'll be engaged right to the end." ( RT Book Reviews)

first audible was enjoyable

Intriguing storyline and central character. Enjoyed it being read. Am willing to look into the next book.

Gruesome. I can't

Narrator was great. It's just too much gory detail with blood and wounds and vomit and just not for me. leaving this review for others that are not interested in gory detail

Monotone Narration

I recently tried to listen to this book for a second time. I pushed through the first chapters thinking the narration would get better. It did not. Unless I need to fall asleep, I will not attempt a third time. I did get up to Chapter 14 this time.

Great historical mystery with a tease of romance.

Great story line. Ending leaves you wanting more. Hurray for series! The narrator sounds a bit too monotone and flat for me but I can kinda overlook it.

Compelling story

The writing and character development is top notch. Sadly, the narration is not as good.
