Mary Stewart transports her readers to mid-century Savoy for a plot of danger and deception, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Barbara Pym. A classic tale by one of the world's most beloved authors.

Linda Martin understands what is to be lonely: her parents died when she was young, and she was raised in an orphanage. When she is hired as a governess to the orphaned young Philippe, Comte de Valmy, Linda finds a kindred spirit in the lonely little boy. But Philippe is the heir to a vast estate in Savoy, and his dangerously handsome uncle may be willing to kill to ensure that Philippe never inherits it.

Mary Stewart's wonderful novel of suspense and intrigue set in the idyllic countryside of Savoy. A classic tale by one of the world's most beloved authors.

I completely loved this book. It was romantic and exciting and I loved it. The narrator was very good. The only strange bit was when in the last part of the book she lapsed into a very babyish voice for Philippe when previously he had sounded quite grown up. But that did not spoil my enjoyment. I only mention it because Audible reviewers always harp on about the narration!

The best ever!

I’d forgotten all about Mary Stewart! I loved her novels when I was a teenager. Thank goodness this book came up on Audible when I was deciding which Daphne du Maurier to listen to next. It’s a good listen (despite some odd pronunciation from the narrator!?!) and I’m so happy to see lots of other Mary Stewart novels available. Off to work my way through them all in order of publication. Thanks, Audible :-)

Delighted to rediscover Mary Stewart!
