About this listen

They’re hoping this visit is a return journey—but it might be a one-way ticket to murder.

July 1912. Lady Hardcastle and her tenacious lady’s maid, Florence Armstrong, are enjoying a convivial gathering at the home of their dear friends, the Farley-Strouds. The only fly in the idyllic ointment seems to be the lack of musical entertainment for the forthcoming summer party—until, that is, Lady Hardcastle’s brother Harry calls with news of a murder.

Harry dispatches them to Bristol on behalf of the Secret Service Bureau, with instructions to prevent the local police from uncovering too much about the victim. It seems an intriguing mystery—all the more so when they find a connection between the killer and an impending visit from an Austrian trade delegation, set to feature a very important guest…

Summoned to London to help with some very important security arrangements, the intrepid duo will have to navigate sceptical bureaucrats, Cockney gangsters and shadowy men in distinctive hats in their attempts to foil an explosive—and internationally significant—threat.

Critic reviews

“Longtime series narrator Elizabeth Knowelden's performance brings two occasional government agents to life: Lady Hardcastle, a genteel widow with a less-than-genteel past, and Florence Armstrong, her companion and confidante, who is also a martial arts expert.… Knowelden's Lady Hardcastle is gentility itself—until she's faced with blatant misogyny. Then the quick-witted lady becomes charming steel. Florence gets just the right mix of toughness and savvy, while Knowelden's secondary characters have genuine personalities. Fun listening.” AudioFile Magazine

Highly rated for:
All stars
Most relevant  
The story continues with the same lighthearted revelry and blasé attitude towards their dangerous pursuits. The dialogue is as fun as always and there’s plenty of twists and turns in the plot but the interactions between the two main characters and the supporting cast are somewhat more muted than in previous installments so I left the overall rating at 4 stars. I’ll be impatiently waiting for the next installment to the series.

Fun

Story was great but I honestly had a hard time with the way the women were treated even though in the time being written about it was likely the norm.

Armstrong and Lady Hardcastle are off to Bristol for what proves to be a very confusing assignment from Harry, but these two never disappoint. Intelligent characters, witty banter, and a twisty mystery make for a perfect read.

A Delightful Read
