Publisher's summary

Bath, England, 1891. Mr. James Harding was a lot of things - businessman, well-to-do, probable scoundrel - but a drinker he most assuredly was not. So when Harding is believed to have drunkenly fallen to his death into the icy River Avon, Lord William Wethington is immediately suspicious. Finding Lord William's name on a letter in the victim's pocket, the local constabulary summons William to identify the victim. Police detectives learn that William had been one of Harding's business clients - and undoubtedly not the only client the dead man had cheated.

William entreats Lady Amy Lovell, a fellow member of the Mystery Book Club of Bath, to help him deduce what really happened to the late Mr. Harding. Lady Amy, a celebrated mystery author herself, once called on William to help her solve a real-life mystery, and now she fully intends to return the favor. But it won't be easy.

Practically every one of Harding's many clients had ample reason to want to do him in. And there's precious little time to narrow down the list: William and Amy soon become prime suspects themselves when the police discover them ruffling through files in Harding's house. Lady Amy will have to be as clever as her characters if she's to save William from the gallows...and herself from Harding's real killer.

Great book, terrible narration

I was excited to listen to the second in this series and not upset that they were changing the narrator as the first one mispronounced some British English words. This one, however, was terrible. She makes even simple dialogue sound like a bad tv movie, overacted and over-enunciated. It was distracting and disappointing bc the book itself is a great second installment that’s paced well. Unlike the first one, I didn’t guess the plot twists or the true villain before the end. I see that this woman is the narrator for the third in the series as well. I suppose I will have to muddle through with her again bc I work FT and have 4 kids and can only find time to read in the car as I’m driving places. If you can, I advise you to get the paper versions and perhaps pick back up with the audible series when the narrator changes again on book 4. I hope that narrator is better bc this woman’s take on the characters is truly bad.
