About this listen

Olivia Denis is a content young wife with a carefree life in late 1930s London. Then her world is shattered with the violent death of her husband, Reggie. The police want to call it a suicide and close the case, but Olivia knows Reggie couldn't possibly have fired the fatal shot. Further mysteries surface surrounding her husband's death. Did the trustworthy Foreign Office employee betray government secrets? Was his murder linked to the death of a German embassy clerk the same night? And who searched their flat? Her desire for answers and her need to support herself cause her to break away from the pampered life she's known and take a job. But with the much-needed paycheck as a society reporter for a newspaper comes a secret secondary assignment - one that involves her in the increasingly dangerous world of European politics as the continent slides toward war.

I have steered clear of books centered on either the British or French situations surrounding WWII. Enjoyed this one because it was a different take. Also excellent narration. Will read the next in series.

Another view of British politics and life prior to WWII. Interesting mystery and characters.

A wonderful beginning to the Deadly series. I enjoyed the lead character, Olivia, very much. How she discovers the truth about her murdered husband & proceeds to hunt for his killer was believable. And I loved the narrator. She brought life to the characters. I ordered the second book before I even finished this one!!

This is a great book. I got Deadly Wedding in plus catalog. After listening to deadly Wedding I got Deadly Scandal. Reading the books in order is helpful. I now have all the books. The History of beginning of WW2 in England is very interesting. I thought I knew my history at the time but, I was wrong. You won't be sorry buying this series.

This book balances a fictional story and historical events in a way that makes for a great listen. The narrator does an excellent job, as well.

Interesting story with great narration

I liked it well enough to get the next one, though I had some difficulty keeping track of all the characters, their titles and roles. The narrator was good. I like female narrators who can get the mood, pacing and tone right, even if they aren’t the best at men’s voices.

Pretty good

The story and idea are good, but a narrator with a recurring speech impediment and who is monotone that all the male characters sounded like robocalls🙄….drove me to almost abandon this book and series as a whole!

Needs better narrator
