Publisher's summary

May 1912. After the previous year’s deadly heatwave, it’s been an uneventful spring in Littleton Cotterell. Though for Lady Hardcastle and her fiercely loyal lady’s maid Flo, at least there are the provincial delights of the village’s inaugural art exhibition—and bicycle race—to look forward to.

But at the exhibition opening, there’s a panicked shout of ‘Fire!’ In the confusion, the main attraction—an extremely expensive book—is stolen from under everyone’s nose, as is a valuable painting lent by Sir Hector Farley-Stroud. Then the race, which starts as a charming day out, ends in a shocking death. And to top it all off, the Farley-Strouds reveal they’re in debt and might lose their house.

The sleuthing duo soon find themselves torn between a murder investigation, an art theft mystery, and trying to help their pals. All with a suspicious figure from Flo’s past, a supercilious insurance investigator, and a pair of rather bizarre treasure hunters on the loose…

Another wonderful audiobook

I have enjoyed this narrator’s voices very much in her telling of the T.E. Kinsey Lady Hardcastle stories. This one didn’t disappoint at all. Well written with excellent narration. Highly recommend.

I’m Just Sorry It’s Over!!

I loved every minute of the story and the ending was very satisfactory. I have to admit I figured out one part of the theft but the rest was surprising. Great plot! Loved spending time with Flo and Lady H again.

Another Riveting Tale

This latest adventure of Emily and Flo does not disappoint. The fact that it has such a wonderful ending for the Grange and the Farley-Stouds was the cherry on top.

Wonderful as always!

I recommend this series to anyone who could possibly, remotely be interested and ALWAYS recommend the audiobook! Elizabeth Knowelden is hands down my favorite narrator—especially with this series.

I’ve listened to each book multiple times. They’re my comfort reads!
