About this listen

Amateur sleuth Kitty Worthington once more jumps into the fray to nab the wily murderer of a high-ranking member of the nobility. Can she catch the killer before her sister's beloved pays the ultimate price?

London. 1923. Much to her consternation, Kitty Worthington's debut season is a resounding success, prompting marriage proposals from lords, rogues, scoundrels, and ne'er do wells. Even as she dodges them, a new intrigue arises, and at Westminster, no less. A high-ranking member of the nobility is murdered, and her sister's beau has been framed to take the fall.

With her sister's happiness at stake, Kitty sets out to investigate, ably aided by her faithful maid, two noble lords, a titled lady, and Sir Winston, her still flatulent Basset Hound. As they dash about London, from the stews of St. Giles, to the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair, in search of the wily killer, can she convince the maddening Inspector Crawford to aid their quest? For if she fails to find the killer, her sister's beloved may very well hang from the wrong end of a rope.

The strife created by England’s class system is fully on display. Money is important but birthright and social position are most important. Looking forward to the next book

Love this series and narrator. This entry was also another step into the Inspectors personal story and budding….oops, don’t want to say too much. Highly recommend.

I’ve enjoyed this narrator on books from earlier years. But here, I felt I was being yelled at with sing-song, over-dramatic vocal fry. Everything—even someone putting their hands on their lap or answering a doorbell—is met with over-the-top exuberance. The style and tone are all wrong for what the time period, cover art, and marketing blurb imply. The fun, humor, and nuance of the story is buried in this misplaced reading style, which makes it a tough story to get into. I’m glad a reviewer on another platform suggested to stick with it past the slower first third, which is mostly day-to-day stuff and the setup of who the characters are. For me it picked up at the midway point.
