Story
After a year of grand adventures touring the classical ruins of Italy and Greece, Iphiginia Bright returned to England to discover that the real excitement was at home. It seems that her Aunt Zoe has fallen victim to a sinister blackmailer and only Iphiginia can hope to stop the culprit before he can do more harm. Her plan is inspired: Imitating history's most legendary beauties--Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Aphrodite--the former schoolmistress will remake herself, and descend upon London Society as the dazzling mistress of Marcus Valerius Cloud, the infamous Earl of Masters.

Publisher's Summary
A tantalizing tale of a legendary knight and a headstrong lady whose daring quest for a mysterious crystal will draw them into a whirlwind of treachery - and desire.
When the fearsome knight called Hugh the Relentless swept into Lingwood Manor like a storm, everyone cowered - except Lady Alice. Sharp-tongued and unrepentant, the flame-haired beauty believed Sir Hugh was not someone to dread but the answer to her dreams. She knew he had come for the dazzling green crystal, knew he would be displeased to find that it was no longer in her possession. Yet Alice had a proposition for the dark and forbidding knight: In return for a dowry that would free Alice and her brother from their uncle's grasp, she would lend her powers of detection to his warrior's skills, and together they would recover his treasured stone. But even as Hugh accepted her terms, he added a condition of his own: Lady Alice must agree to a temporary betrothal - one that would soon draw her deep into Hugh's great stone fortress, and into a battle that could threaten their lives...and their only chance at love.

Upset
Disappointed that it wasn’t the full story, normally it’s on the page if it’s abridged, none of the build up, the animosity, the general feel of the book. Sadly lacking

Feeling Cheated
What would have made Mystique better?
I suggest having the audio read the entirety of the book. What you currently have is barely half the book. The animosity between Lady Alice and Monk Calvert was completely missed throughout the whole telling.
Would you ever listen to anything by Amanda Quick again?
Unlikely as the audio is most likely not the full story.
Would you be willing to try another one of Suzanne Bertish’s performances?
Maybe
What character would you cut from Mystique?
None. The characters and story from the book directly is just fine.
Any additional comments?
Just to confirm, it is NOT the story itself that I don't like. The Amanda Quick book is one of my favourites. What I DIDN'T like was the fact the audio skips entire section of the book in order to create a 3 hr audio. If you are going to turn a great story into an audio, do it properly and in full!
