Publisher's summary

Responding to an urgent plea from a troubled family friend, the Earl of Wrexford journeys to Oxford only to find the reclusive university librarian has been murdered and a rare manuscript has gone missing. The only clue is that someone overheard an argument in which Wrexford's name was mentioned.

At the same time, Charlotte—working under her pen name, A. J. Quill—must determine whether a laboratory fire was arson and if it's connected to the race between competing consortiums to build a new type of ship—one that can cross the ocean powered by steam rather than sails—with the potential to revolutionize military power and world commerce. That the race involves new innovations in finance and entrepreneurship only adds to the high stakes—especially as their good friend Kit Sheffield may be an investor in one of the competitors.

As they delve deeper into the baffling clues, Wrexford and Charlotte begin to realize that things are not what they seem. An evil conspiracy is lurking in the shadows and threatens all they hold dear—unless they can tie the loose threads together before it's too late . . .

Plot Twists Abound!

I loved this book! It had so many twists and turns that I couldn’t predict the end until it was upon me. The historical and scientific background was quite interesting as well. Well worth the credit I spent.

Great narrator!

This is my 6th book in this series and I truly love how each builds on the next. Fun, English murder mysteries!

Love this series

I love the fact that there's more "mystery" and "crime solving" than murders in these books. There are murders, But they are more "civilized" than in other crime/mysteries I listen to. I needed something more civilized after a lot of far too horrid such books. So glad I've found this series which is fun to follow.

The weakest of the series

The story started off strong but the pacing was not good for the fourth act. That being said Charlotte’s character was not nearly as wimpy in this book as she was in the story when she first got married. She was essentially damseling all over the place in that one.

Sadly, a bit boring

I have enjoyed this series immensely so far. I hate to say it , but this book was a bit on the boring side for me. Way too much technical information and not enough personal interactions among the characters. As always, Raven and Hawk add the spice that's needed to grab and hold your attention. Wrexford is just too melancholy, going on and on about his brother. Other than these few items it was a good story, just too much information about engines. Hope the series continues, as I really like the cast of characters.

Another wonderful Rexford & Sloane mystery

I’ve been following this series from the beginning. It’s great to see continued character development and new stories.
