Amelia Butterworth is back! This made me happy as I found her a bit funny in That Affair Next Door, which I suggest you read before this to know the history of she & detective Gryce. She's less of an annoying old biddy here because she's investigating separately from Mr. Gryce. She's not quite as competitive nor stuck on herself which I like. The story has constant suspense & held my interest from start to finish. The reader was excellent, too.
Not an easy one to figure out

Ms. Bard is a great narrator. This story was the second by the author I have listened to. I felt compelled to keep trying to figure out who the villain was. The story is fairly complicated and keeps one's interest. The circumstances of the family and the mannerisms were so foreign to present day that I sometimes had to stop and really decide if people were actually like that. This time, I didn't have my own suspicion until the last few chapters.

I enjoyed this Anna Katharine Green mystery very much! Has a nice little twist to it that threw me off track but did like the ending! Excellent narration by Mary Bard my first time hearing her narration and hopefully not the last. All in all a very delightful mystery!

I sure liked it a lot, a really interesting story with nice twists that keep you guessing and a very good reader to narrate it to perfection.
Couldn't stop listening!

So well written. At times reminiscent of Jane Austen. Nuances in the writing beautifully realised by the reader. Thank you so much.
