The days are getting shorter as summer's end approaches, which means it's time for the Harvest Festival, the last big event of the season, held by Mamie Fish, wife of millionaire railroad tycoon Stuyvesant Fish, at their grand "cottage", Crossways. The neocolonial mansion is decked out in artificial autumn splendor, and an extravagant scavenger hunt will be held. But the crowning jewel of the evening will be the guest of honor, Prince Otto of Austria.
As acting editor-in-chief of the Newport Messenger, Emma had hoped to leave her days as a society reporter behind her. But at the last moment, she must fill in and attend the Harvest Festival. With nearly every eligible daughter of Newport high society in attendance, Emma can almost hear romantic dreams shattering like glass slippers when the prince fails to appear. The next morning, he is found dead in the side garden at Crossways, making it clear a murderer crashed the party.
The prince has been stabbed in the same manner as another man, recently found on nearby Bailey's Beach - who strongly resembles Emma's half-brother Brady's father, presumed dead for nearly 30 years after a yachting mishap. As Emma investigates a connection between the two victims, she is joined on the hunt by Mamie Fish herself. But they must hurry - before the killer slips away like the fading summer . . . .

And while the first narrator was way better than this one, neither of them do the writing justice.
Both narrations are far too modern-American. They were hired to perform according to the language of 100+ years ago & didn’t deliver. I hope in future, they’ll hire someone up to the task, or else just go Brit…
Lauren Ezzo’s reading, in particular, is far too clipped & jarringly abrupt. She shirked her work & handed in an “incomplete”.
She also has an Annoying habit of turning every short-voweled “o” into “awl”😖😵💫🤢
E.g.: Ch 18
“Acrolls town”
“Into the hawlspittle”
“Indeed nawlt”
(Add to that an “owltside”)
Lauren Ezzo’s narrations…
