Agony in Amethyst

A Harriet Gordon Mystery, Book 5

By: A.M. Stuart

Narrated by: Naomi Rose-Mock

An important visitor casts a shadow of darkness and death over Singapore.

Harriet Gordon, newly settled in her new role as a teacher at a girls' school in Singapore, faces uncertainty in her budding relationship with Robert Curran, who has just returned from months in Kuala Lumpur. Curran's expected promotion turns sour when the position is given to an old adversary from his Scotland Yard days.

The arrival of the Colonial foreign secretary, Sir Henry Cunningham, revives memories of one of Curran's unresolved cases. The death of a schoolgirl at a lavish ball, hosted by the Governor in honour of the visitor, brings Curran into direct conflict with his new superior officer. When he confides his suspicions to Harriet, she inadvertently betrays his trust, threatening his already shaky career.

With their relationship on the brink of irreparable damage, a second death changes the course of the investigation. Can Harriet and Curran bring justice to a grieving family and emerge from this ordeal with their connection intact?

The Best Book So Far in this series.

All the characters came together in a complex mystery. Harriet can’t stay out of the hijinks and Robert easily forgives.

Wonderful series

I’m assuming that this is the final book in the series. This series has wonderful and interesting characters, more complex than you see in many mystery series.
I truly enjoyed each of the stories and I look forward to listening to all the books now that it’s complete once again.

It kept me guessing!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Harriet is so courageous and “ahead of her time”. The mystery plot was well developed and really surprised me. Looking forward to more!

The best yet!

Excellent mystery. Love these characters. Harriet and Curran have definitely grown to be two of my favorites. Hope this is not the last one!

Smiling in Anticipation

You know you really have an emotional connection to the characters when you start to smile and evoke emotional responses just listening to what's happening to them. I enjoyed the whole series. Murder is never good but the development of Harriet and Curand just gets me in this one. I hope this isn't the last we hear of them. I'm smiling in anticipation for the next story.
