Mary Stewart
The original writer of romantic suspense, Mary Stewart leads her readers on a thrilling journey across mid-century Europe in this tale of adventure and deception, sure to be loved by fans of Agatha Christie and Barbara Pym.
Vanessa March's husband, Lewis, is meant to be on a business trip in Stockholm - so why does he briefly appear in newsreel footage of a fire at a circus in Vienna, with his arm around another woman? Vanessa flies to Austria to find her husband, inadvertently becoming involved in a mystery that spans three countries...and the famous dancing stallions of the Spanish Riding School.
The moonlight flooded the meadow, blanching all colours to its own ghostly silver. The pines were very black. As the stallion rose in the last magnificent rear of the levande, the moonlight poured over him bleaching his hide so that for perhaps five or six seconds he was no longer an old broken-down piebald but a haute école stallion of the oldest line in Europe.

Vintage Mary Stewart with special appeal to horse lovers

However, the story is intriguing and educational about the Lipizzaner horses. I will read more Stewart.
The narrator is quite good, but I felt that she mispronounced several words. One obvious one was saying that someone took a bow and pronouncing it like a bow one ties or holds to shoot an arrow. With that overlooked, she did a good job.

The narrator did a very good job. Her voice fit that of the protagonist’s well, and given the first person
viewpoint in which the book is written, that is the most important factor. She did well with the male voices, as well.
A very enjoyable read and listen
