About this listen
It's harvest time in the village of Kurland St. Mary as Lucy and Robert prepare to wed - but a murderer has taken an unseasonable vow of vengeance....
As Miss Lucy Harrington, daughter of the village rector, and Major Sir Robert Kurland plan their nuptials, the major is beginning to wonder if he'll ever hear wedding bells. He's seen complex military campaigns that involved less strategy, and he's finding Lucy's meddling family maddening.
When the body of Ezekiel Thurrock, the church verger, is discovered crushed by a gargoyle that has fallen from the bell tower, the wedding is delayed. But the evidence suggests this was no accident, and Lucy wonders if bad blood at the village fair had anything to do with the man's mysterious demise, since there was much bitterness over Ezekiel's prizewinning vegetables. As Lucy and Robert uncover longstanding village feuds, the town's dark secrets begin to take their toll, and the couple soon finds they, too, are in grave danger....

Story
In 1851, Father Jean Marie Latour comes to serve as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost forty years that follow, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows—gently, all the while contending with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Out of these events, Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended.

Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

Story
Ellen Marling lives in terror of her wedding night to the beastly Baron Basil Brockhaven. Forced into the marriage by her father, a leap in the dark from the bedroom window seems more appealing than spending even one night with the loathsome lord. Until she discovers that her leap delivered her straight into the hands of the notorious Marquess of Trent, as handsome as he is hedonistic. Ellen has traded a monstrous husband for a masterly rake, and now faces the prospect of the greatest danger of all: falling in love.

Intrigue at its best
When I first started this series I felt it was too slow and almost stopped listening. By the end I was hooked. I was unable to find volume 3 in audible or the public library as an audio so I took a day to read an almost 700 page book… “Death Comes to Kurland Hall” loving the intrigues that Sir Robert and Lucy continually get into. Highly recommend the series

Good story, but narration was a let down
I have enjoyed this series so far, and managed to read Book 3 ( which wasn’t available in audio) before this book 4. The plot kept me engaged, though it was more complicated.
I was disappointed with the new narrator though. I wouldn’t say I was much impressed by Susannah Tyrrell who did the first two books as I find her narration slow, and not much variation between the female characters, but after listening to new narrator Cat Gould, I really miss Ms Tyrrell! To be fair Ms Cat Gould had a beautiful reading voice, but her voice acting of the female characters sent shudders through me for more than half the book. She made Lucy sounded so weak and useless, and the high pitched whiny voice for Miss Chingford made me recoiled in horror. While Miss Chingford was a spoilt brat to begin with in book 1, this was still an exaggerated voice acting. I also dislike the way she portrayed Major Kurland. It lacked the strong complicated hero feel, and sounded more like one trying hard to be the sauve lord of the village when he wasn’t. I just hope Ms Gould would fine tune her narration as she got use to the characters, as the rest of the books in the series were narrated by her.

Started Off Ok But for the Reader
The story line peaked my interest but I couldn't get through it with the reader, Cat Gould. Most of her English accents were cloying, too affected, like caricatures. And most of her male voices are just her speaking in lower tones, like I would do, trying to mimic a guy.
I happened to be a fan of the previous reader, Susannah Tyrrell. Sadly for me, I won't be continuing with this series with Cat Gould.

It’s fine
It’s a good mystery, though Sir Robert is a condescending, unlikeable dolt in this one. I do wish his relationship with Lucy had been more interesting and layered rather than that of someone who constantly dismissed and disparaged her. Nice that he came around a bit toward the end. The narrator works well for a light and upbeat mystery like this. I much prefer her to some of the others out there.
