A Newlywed's Guide to Fortune and Murder

Countess of Harleigh Mysteries, Book 6

By: Dianne Freeman

Narrated by: Sarah Zimmerman

Newly married Frances Hazelton, formerly the Countess of Harleigh, should be planning her honeymoon. Instead, she’s unmasking a murderer among the upper crust …

With her new husband George busy on a special mission for the British Museum, Frances has taken on an assignment of her own. The dowager Viscountess Wingate needs someone to sponsor her niece, Kate, for presentation to Queen Victoria. Frances—who understands society’s quirks and constraints as only an outsider can—is the perfect candidate.

Kate is charming and intelligent, though perhaps not quite as sheltered as she might first appear. More worrying to Frances is the viscountess’s sudden deterioration. The usually formidable dowager has become shockingly frail, and Frances suspects someone may be drugging her. The spotlight falls on Kate, who stands to inherit if her aunt passes, yet there are plenty of other likely candidates within the dowager’s household, both above and below stairs.

Joining forces with her beloved George, Frances comes to believe that the late viscount, too, was targeted. And with the dowager seeming to be in greater danger every day, they must flush out the villain before she follows in her husband’s footsteps, directly to the grave …

Love this series!

Freeman and Zimmerman have done it again. Excellent story. Excellent narration. I hope there is another book coming soon!

love the characters, the mystery & putting all the clues together!!!

I've thoroughly enjoyed this series and look forward to the next book (hopefully soon) in this series!!!
I've already recommended this series to several friends!!!

Pleasant read, but...

I didn't like that there seemed to not be any clues until the end to help piece together who did it.

A Great Puzzle

Lots of questionable things going on and lots of people who could be causing all sorts of problems. Lots of red herrings to challenge you.

Great series

I love these fun clean mysteries.yhe characters are likeable and the stories are clever with plenty of suspects.
