About this listen

An important visitor casts a shadow of darkness and death over Singapore.

Harriet Gordon, newly settled in her new role as a teacher at a girls' school in Singapore, faces uncertainty in her budding relationship with Robert Curran, who has just returned from months in Kuala Lumpur. Curran's expected promotion turns sour when the position is given to an old adversary from his Scotland Yard days.

The arrival of the Colonial foreign secretary, Sir Henry Cunningham, revives memories of one of Curran's unresolved cases. The death of a schoolgirl at a lavish ball, hosted by the Governor in honour of the visitor, brings Curran into direct conflict with his new superior officer. When he confides his suspicions to Harriet, she inadvertently betrays his trust, threatening his already shaky career.

With their relationship on the brink of irreparable damage, a second death changes the course of the investigation. Can Harriet and Curran bring justice to a grieving family and emerge from this ordeal with their connection intact?

Great stories with plenty of content both regarding the period in Singapore and the mysteries. Fabulous characters too which were all well narrated.

Fabulous series loved all the HG books

I have now listened to all five of the Harriet Gordon Mysteries and whilst I have mostly enjoyed them, I found the change in narration over the books spoilt some of that enjoyment.
Accents being somewhat amiss and the pronunciation of one of the main characters surnames in book 5 being quite different to the other 4 books just plain annoying.

Continuation or lack of...
