About this listen

The first novel in a witty, irreverent, hugely entertaining new series with an irresistible premise—Romeo and Juliet’s daughter as a clever, inquisitive, fiercely independent young woman in fair Verona—told from the delightfully engaging point of view of the captivating Rosie Montague herself …

Once upon a time a young couple met and fell in love. You probably know that story, and how it ended (hint: badly). Only here’s the thing: That’s not how it ended at all.

Romeo and Juliet are alive and well and the parents of seven kids. I’m the oldest, with the emphasis on ‘old’—a certified spinster at twenty, and happy to stay that way. It’s not easy to keep your taste for romance with parents like mine. Picture it—constant monologues, passionate declarations, fighting, making up, making out … it’s exhausting.

Each time they’ve presented me with a betrothal, I’ve set out to find the groom-to-be a more suitable bride. After all, someone sensible needs to stay home and manage this household. But their latest match, Duke Stephano, isn’t so easy to palm off on anyone else. The debaucher has had three previous wives—all of whom met unfortunate ends. Conscience forbids me from consigning another woman to that fate. As it turns out, I don’t have to …

At our betrothal ball—where, quite by accident, I meet a beautiful young man who makes me wonder if perhaps there is something to love at first sight—I stumble upon Duke Stephano with a dagger in his chest. But who killed him? His late wives’ families, his relatives, his mistress, his servants—half of Verona had motive. And when everyone around the Duke begins dying, disappearing, or descending into madness, I know I must uncover the killer … before death lies on me like an untimely frost.

The audio is a bit uneven. It can be distracting. One moment it will sound normal then it will drop kind of low. It will go back to normal pretty quickly but if that sort of thing bothers you, you might want to stick to the book.

A Daughter of Fair Verona was a delight to read. I thoroughly enjoyed the random Shakespeare references but I don't feel they detracted from the story or broke the fourth wall.
