My name is Lenora Fletcher. And I can communicate with the dead.

Lenora expected her unique ability would condemn her to a life of solitude, shunned by society. But when she receives an unexpected marriage proposal hinging on it, Lenora is shocked.

Beyond the strange blackening on the stones of Blackmoore Castle, Lenora discovers another darkness lurks in her new Scottish Highlands home. The secrets housed within the castle walls chill Lenora to the bone...and threaten her own life.

Death of a Duchess

Liz Gentle does a masterful job with her narration of Death of a Duchess: A Duchess of Blackmoore Mystery series. Nellie H. Steele writes with a passion that creates wonderfully, special characters set in an interesting paranormal mystery plot. Highly recommend to Regency Mystery lovers.

frustrating

it's probably accurate, but the readiness to shush women ( every little thing is "shall we call the doctor or you must rest" as if women were spun glass) is beyond annoying. ( historically, there were plenty of strong women. Empress Maude and queen elanore being two) and it doesn't match up with the Duke accepting almost instantly some uncommon social behavior (the premise for the story. adoptions, brothel)... and the main character seems rather slow on the uptake.

A very entertaining action packed mystery!

My first listen by this author. I was pleasantly surprised! The storyline was intriguing and a little spooky... in a gothic sort of way. I enjoyed every word of it... From her very painful past to being in a home where she felt she had a purpose. That purpose to begin with starts the mystery and mayhem... I recommend this audible!

Amazing read

I could not put the book down but I didn’t want it to end. Such a great mystery book. A MUST READ FOR SURE!!!

I enjoyed this.

I enjoyed this book! I will be reading more by this author. I also liked the narrator.
