About this listen

When amateur sleuth detective Kate Shackleton receives a dawn telephone call from her cousin, James, his news soon snaps Kate into wakefulness. The India office seek her on-the-spot help in finding a maharajah last seen on the Bolton Abbey estate. He has with him a hugely valuable diamond.

Investigative successes and good family connections put Kate in the highly trusted category. Perceived as 'establishment', Kate feels like an outsider in her sympathies. One thing she is sure of: her own skills and insights. Qualities that she is sure will help her unravel the latest disappearance on that fateful summer's day....

I am always looking forward to listening to a story with Kate Middleton in it.

Fantastic story

It was a nice story, clever, interesting and I loved the vintage. Most of all I felt as though a skilled storyteller was with me and it was very nice indeed.

Good

Too long winded and dull. It seemed to never get to the point! The narrator did a reasonable job, but not my favourite in this series.

Not her best
