About this listen

As much as Beatrice Hyde-Clare relished the challenge of figuring out who murdered a fellow guest during a house party in the Lake District, she certainly does not consider herself an amateur investigator. So when a London dandy falls dead at her feet in the entryway of a London Daily Gazette, she feels no compulsion to investigate. It was a newspaper office, after all, and reporters are already on the case as are the authorities. She has her own problems to deal with anyway - such as extricating herself from a seemingly harmless little fib that has somehow grown in into a ridiculously large fiction.

Truly, she has no interest at all. Except the dagger that killed the poor earl seemed disconcertingly familiar....

And so Bea is off to the British Museum because she cannot rest until she confirms her suspicion, while trying to allay her family’s concerns and comprehend the Duke of Kesgrave’s compulsion. For the handsome lord has no reason to waste his time solving a mystery alongside a shy spinster. And yet he turns up everywhere she goes.

The best recommendation is that I can’t wait to start the next in the series. Even the woeful punctuation of ordinary every day English words didn’t put me off. In fact, they added to the enjoyment.
By now, someone has told the young lady that it isn’t pronounced tun, but ton for aristocratic and landed gentry. At one particular moment I was delighted to hear worship pronounced as warship. I suspect the narrator is American.

The story wasn’t overwhelmed by the narrator!
