About this listen

High adventure and dark mystery combine in a sparkling historical romance, by Jodi Taylor writing as Isabella Barclay from The Chronicles of St. Mary's.

Bascombe, widowed and tied to an impoverished estate, has learned to ask little of life. With no hope of leaving, the years have passed her by. Lord Ryde, exiled abroad after a scandal, has returned to strip his estate and make a new start in America. A chance encounter changes their plans, plunging Elinor and Lord Ryde into adventure and not a little peril until, finally, they are forced to confront the mystery of what happened on that night, all those years ago.

Are they both so entangled in the riddles of the past that they are about to miss this one last opportunity for future happiness?

As usual Jodi tells a marvellous tale. Quite a departure from her usual stories and I hope there will be more of the same.

Fabulous

I enjoyed this book! If you like Georgette Heyer’s novels you will probably like this. In fact I think Ms Taylor has read most of Ms Heyer’s books as there are quite a few delightful similarities. Ms Bentinck does a great job as Narrator! I recommend this book.

The chickens were ruling the roost in this story and I found it all most amusing and thoroughly enjoyable. The way the females were able to manage people/situations was impressive. I adored the narrator's performance and will be seeking out both her and the author's other works, I recommend!

Loved the clever writing and the narrator's delivery of it
