The Rum and the Fox

The Regency Romance Mysteries, Book 3

By: Ms. Emma V. Leech

Narrated by: Philip Battley

From the author of the exciting series Rogues & Gentlemen comes a new Regency romance series - the Regency Romance Mysteries.

Miss Keziah Todd is desperate.

Surely the daughter of a viscount, even an impoverished one, ought to be able to live, just a little? But her father, Viscount Rennard, is a violent man, and one who is hard to thwart as he harshly restricts Keziah's society.

When Keziah learns of her father's plans to marry the recently widowed and fabulously wealthy duchess of Chartley, it doesn't take the lovely Miss Todd long to realize that the woman's only son, Felix - the new duke of Chartley - is an inconvenience that her father will remove with haste.

A mild-mannered duke.

Felix might be a pink of the ton, but feisty Keziah believes he has more hair than wit and is no match for her cunning father. Unable to live with the good-natured duke’s death on her conscience, Keziah takes a risk and Felix's life in her hands.

Light regency mystery/romance

I gave this 3 stars as either a portion of the story didn’t download on Audible (I actually went back multiple chapters to re-listen in the event that I somehow missed some critical chapters), the information was edited out or the author took a giant leap and hoped the readers would catch on. The story is light enough that I made the assumptions, but would have enjoyed listening to a pretty significant part of the story.
