After receiving a most unexpected personal invitation for a weekend of leisure and celebration, Miss Victoria Parker leaves London for the country seat of the Duke of Everton. Although unsure as to why a lowly spinster such as she would be invited anywhere by a duke, Victoria's trusted assistant, James Kensington, assures her it must concern her late father’s accounting firm, which she secretly runs.
Unfortunately for them both, James is dead wrong.
On the first night of her stay, events take a murderous turn when Victoria discovers her host dead from apparent poisoning. Worse still, the other guests believe Victoria may have played a part in the duke's untimely death.
With a killer on the loose and her name on the line, Victoria sets out to solve the mystery of His Grace's murder. But discovering "whodunit" might prove more difficult than she first believed; it seems everyone at Stanting Estate has a motive to want the duke dead.
Knowing that she cannot complete this task alone, Victoria turns to James for help. As the two work closely together, new feelings begin to emerge, yet Victoria attempts to suppress them. After all, it would not do to fall in love with an employee. For each clue she unravels, however, Victoria finds herself not only closer to unmasking the murderer, but closer to James, as well. Can she solve the murder before she loses both her reputation and her heart?
A cozy, romantic Regency murder mystery that will keep you guessing 'til the end.

Its up to Victoria to find out who murdered the Duke in a houseful of business acquaintances and a houseful of family who arent too keen on the Duke.
As someone who loves historical mysteries as well as cozy mysteries ,I found this a very entertaining read. Deborah Balm did a great job with narration and voices. Not an easy job when you have two women bickering with each other ! I cant wait to listen to more of the series to see how the characters develop as well as how the plots develop
I recieved this audiobook free in exchange for a honest review..

~Disclaimer: I received a free audiobook copy of this book. I did purchase the kindle book myself to go with it.~
Narrator does a good job with bringing this story to life. The sample is pretty representative of the speed and style of the narrator.
I enjoyed Victoria. She has her moments of being a little silly, but I don’t think it makes her unlikeable. James is charming and I do wonder how their dynamic will develop in future books.
The interactions, namely the dialogue, was a bit of a weak point in this book. It just didn’t flow as naturally as it could have. I think that can be a bit of an issue with books with a historical setting and that has a mix of characters of different classes.
As far as the mystery, it was solidly developed. There was much to keep track of and it was an enjoyable listen.
A decent start to a series

It was a fun Victorian mystery. It wasn't particularly long, which was why I was able to finish it in a day, but the variety of suspects and possible motives was intriguing and engulfing. I do have to admit, that I had figured out the culprit early on, but even still, there were sufficient questions to leave me guessing. It made for a satisfying Saturday read/listen.
classic mix of Elizabethan mystery and romance

Parents- PG - No bad language, nothing graphic in the murder, there are situations that insinuate affairs, other insinuations made and amorous intentions put forward but that's as far as it goes.
The narrator did a great job and was enjoyable to listen to.
