About this listen

Fans of Jane Austen have fallen in love with Darcie Wilde's mystery series featuring Rosalind Thorne, a young woman adept at helping ladies of the ton navigate the darker corners of Regency England - while revealing Society's most shocking secrets....

Rosalind is pleased when she's invited to Cassel House to help her friend Louisa prepare for her upcoming wedding. But that's not the only event on her agenda. The trip will also afford Rosalind the chance to see Devon Winterbourne, the newly minted duke of Casselmaine. Devon and Rosalind were on the verge of betrothal before the infamous Thorne family scandal derailed their courtship. Now Rosalind wonders if there's a chance their love might reignite.

Devon is as handsome as Rosalind remembers and it's clear the attraction they once shared hasn't waned. But their time together is interrupted by one crisis after another - not the least of which is an awkwardly timed request for help from Louisa's friend, Helen Corbyn.

Not long ago, the untimely death of Helen's brother, William, was ruled a suicide, but few people truly believe he took his own life. Helen needs to know what really happened - especially since she's engaged to the man some suspect of secretly killing William.

While Rosalind desperately wants to help, she fears her efforts might cast a pall over Louisa's nuptials, not to mention her reunion with Devon. But when another untimely death rocks the ton, Rosalind has no choice but to uncover the truth before more people die...even if her actions threaten her future with Devon.

Still loving this series

I read quite a few reviews about the narrator being too old or not being as good as the others. I completely disagree and I’m glad I gave it a chance anyway. She was excellent, and when she needed to sound young, she did. Her accents and tone were great. Don’t let those reviews about the performance keep you from listening to this installment if you have enjoyed the others so far.

Love love love!

I seem to disagree with many. I love the narrator and was used to the change after the first chapter. She’s amazing. I love the story and it is as I would expect to enjoy after the previous books in this series.

As Always, a Great Rosiland Thorne Mysyery

Great story. Awful narrerator. Please get the old one from the previous books back. The voice is WAY too old for Rosiland. Almost painful to listen to

Slow start, but worth reading through

The beginning seems to drag out before the story became totally engrossing. It’s worth continuing to get to this captivating story.

More than romance

This book is not the typical romance novel. There is a mystery to be solved. Enjoyed it completely and will listen to more of her books.

A fun mystery, with the frills of days gone by.

I enjoyed the story and performance. Like the authors other book I needed to pay more attention to the story then other books.
It was a good way to pass the time.

Enjoyable Series

There is a narrator change with this book. Contrary to other reviewers, I found her tone pleasant, the characters distinguishable, and while her voice is clearly older, I didn't think it was too old - I think it added to the characters all becoming more distinguished and experienced. As to the story - I liked it but I didn't love it. To me it was just a bit to contrived. I did like how the characters progressed and somewhat resolved their relationships.

New narrator detracted

I’ve really enjoyed this series, but this switch in narrator was not great. I had a hard time following the story in parts due to the narration. Not the best installment, and I thought it rushed through the love triangle, given how slow and unsure things had moved previously. Nevertheless, I will look for the next installment.
