About this listen

The New York Times best-selling author of Otherwise Engaged and The Mystery Woman presents an all-new novel of intrigue and murder set against the backdrop of Victorian London.

The Kern Secretarial Agency provides reliable professional services to its wealthy clientele, and Anne Clifton was one of the finest women in Ursula Kern's employ. But Miss Clifton has met an untimely end - and Ursula is convinced it was not due to natural causes.

Archaeologist and adventurer Slater Roxton thinks Mrs. Kern is off her head to meddle in such dangerous business. Nevertheless, he seems sensible enough to Ursula, though she does find herself unnerved by his self-possession and unreadable green-gold eyes. If this mysterious widowed beauty insists on stirring the pot, Slater intends to remain close by as they venture into the dark side of polite society.

Together they must reveal the identity of a killer - and to achieve their goal they may need to reveal their deepest secrets to each other as well.

This was a very different story and as usual the author kept me guessing. Now off to select another audio book.

I always love an Amanda Quick novel. Intriguing female lead roles, mystery and romance. An easy entertaining read

One of my favorite authors

The first third of the book was extremely promising in terms of the story. It went steadily downhill until some of the most drawn out scenes of the villain explaining every detail of their behaviour I've ever encountered.

The narrator genuinely ruined it- I've hoped that she'll get better but no luck. The heroine sounded shrill and annoying and the hero like a twit. Zero spark. Such a shame too because other narrators of this author's work have elevated story lines rather than ruined them

Grating narration

The most annoying accents and childlike innovation to the characters’ presentation. Wished I had a bass selection on my device.
