De: Anna Lee Huber

Narrado por: Heather Wilds

Scotland, 1831. After a tumultuous courtship complicated by three deadly inquiries, Lady Kiera Darby is thrilled to have found both an investigative partner and a fiancé in Sebastian Gage. But with her well-meaning - and very pregnant - sister planning on making their wedding the event of the season, Kiera could use a respite from the impending madness. Commissioned to paint the portrait of Lady Drummond, Kiera is saddened when she recognizes the pain in the baroness' eyes. Lord Drummond is a brute, and his brusque treatment of his wife forces Kiera to think of the torment caused by her own late husband. Kiera isn't sure how to help, but when she finds Lady Drummond prostrate on the floor, things take a fatal turn. The physician called to the house, and Lord Drummond appears satisfied to rule her death natural, but Kiera is convinced that poison is the real culprit. Now, armed only with her knowledge of the macabre and her convictions, Kiera intends to discover the truth behind the baroness' death - no matter what or who stands in her way....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The journey to uncover a killer takes many twists and leads to a surprising culprit." ( RT Book Reviews)

Another Fabulous Read

I cannot get enough of Lady Darby and Mr. Gage. Engaging mystery and just the right amount of heartwarming romance amidst the glamour and treachery of 19th century Scottish society.

A worthwhile addition to the series

I have read all of the Lady Darby mysteries and enjoyed this one almost as much as the others. Unfortunately, as with many series there comes a point when some of the characters and plots can get a bit stale and boring. I did feel a few twinges of that while reading this book. However, overall I thought it was an interesting read that kept my attention throughout.

I thought the narrator did an excellent job with the material.

Compelling Story

I would prefer another narrator. Ms. Wilds speaks clearly, and has a pleasant voice, but her emphasis and phrasing leaves something to be desired. Perhaps Davina Porter has spoiled me.

Great story!!!

I loved this one because it and the one before aren’t as gruesome as the first two. I don’t know if the next one will be but we will see. Also, I’m really starting to like Bonny Braeck. I’m sure I spelled that wrong but you know who I meant. It would be neat to see him in trouble for something and for the two Geige’s to get him out of it.😊

love blossoming at last

I am only interested in the love between those two. Very touching, at last there is some improvement.
