About this listen

She can't escape her past . . .

Derbyshire, December 1861. Haunted by the events of the summer, Samantha Kingston has found her retreat to the country less restful than she hoped. When a house party reintroduces V. T. Wyatt into her life after a three-month absence, she has mixed feelings. It doesn't help that they must keep their distance to stop the gossip mill running. But when Samantha stumbles across the body of someone she recognizes and in whose death she fears she may have played a part, keeping their distance becomes impossible. Working together once again, Samantha and Wyatt must solve a murder that grows more complicated with every clue they uncover. But how does one find a killer who seems to have vanished without a trace?

Such a well written series of books. I am only hoping that the author will continue to write Samantha and Wyatt additional books.

What I disliked was Wyatt's voice. Yuck. I understand how difficult it is to make many different male voices with a limited alto or mezzo-soprano female narrative voice, but Wyatt's voice made me not want to listen at all. Cringe worthy.
The tempo and volume of the narration was good, listening at 1.15x to 1.25x. I liked the variation between female voices, this being done well enough in the first novel. also by the same narrator, for me to be able to listen to the dreadful Wyatt's voice in between.
I like that the small historical pieces were included to make the story feel overall set at a particular time in England. The story is fairly fast paced, and spends a good deal of time on the propriety of women with their dealings with men. The actual Mystery is fun, with a few red-herings included.

Loved the story and performance. Can’t wait to get the next book. It’s refreshing to read a book that’s not full of trash and actually has a story line.

Love it
