About this listen

How far will some go to safeguard a secret? In the latest novel in Dianne Freeman's witty and delightful historical mystery series, the adventurous Countess Harleigh finds out....

On August 12th each year, members of the upper class retire to their country estates for grouse-shooting season. Frances Wynn, the widowed Countess of Harleigh, however, is expecting to spend a quiet few months in London.

Instead, she's immersed in a shocking mystery when a friend, Mary Archer, is found murdered. Her cousin Charles is in the spotlight for the murder, along with dozens of others.

It seems Mary had countless notes hidden in her home, detailing private indiscretions of society's elite. Frances can hardly believe that Mary was a blackmailer, yet why else would she horde such juicy tidbits?

Aided by her gallant friend George Hazelton, Frances begins assisting the police. Even more worrying is that the number of victims is increasing too....
