Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

Highly recommend!! Such a delight to listen to.
I truly love this series. And what makes it even better is that I purchased the first 3 books in a bundle and had no clue about the author or if she was a good writer. She is.
Her characters are interesting and creative, and you always want to know more about them. The main characters are smart, clever and entertaining. And how the author expresses doubt and uncertainty is so relatable and real. It’s easy to sympathize and empathize with the character when such thoughts occur. And of course the mysteries are always fun.
I hope we get to continue with this series for a good while. Thank you Ms. Wallace.

would be better without main character
Gemini is a perfect example of how not to write a strong character. there is nothing she does that couldn't be done better and with more feeling by her supporting cast. she is supposed to be determined but is constantly pulled out of self doubt by her fan club. she doesn't use the skills she is given (like being a pro racer) and is assumed to be top in many things, but it is all tell and no show.

Interesting mystery, slow burn romance.
While not a hard-core mystery, more a cozy mystery, there is enough supernatural in the story to keep you guessing as to the how of the murders. I love this series; I am dying for Hannah and Wycliff to realize they love each other and to make their marriage real. I will be getting the next one right away. Narrator is good.
