About this listen

Lady Violet Belmaine emerges from two years of mourning less than enthusiastic about resuming her place in Polite Society. She’s talked into attending a country house party by her French physician friend, Hugh St. Sevier, only to find that the house party guests are preyed upon by a mysterious thief.

Among the guests is Sebastian MacHeath, Marquess of Dunkeld. Violet once considered Sebastian her closest confidant, but war and the passing years have changed him. Nonetheless, when Sebastian’s valet, another veteran, comes under suspicion, Violet, St. Sevier, and Sebastian must work together to discover the true culprit, lest an innocent man be sent to the gallows for crimes he did not commit.

A really well plotted story with real characters. Unfortunately the narration really lets it down. Slipping from a weird English accent back to American, occasionally Australian, to a Dick Van Dyke Cockney. The accents are appalling and unrecognisable as anything on the British Isles. Some truly awful pronunciation of some very ordinary words - prime pronounced prim, angular pronounced with a soft g (angel) instead of a hard g (angle), fete pronounced fett, and the list goes on.

I ploughed on because I like the way this writer tells a story, but it was wincingly difficult at times.

A good story with great characters but let down by shocking narration

This is an interesting story but unfortunately the narrator was not good, her accent and pronunciation was all over the place. Overall the story was average.

Easy listening. It was an enjoyable mystery. Will be interesting to see how Lady Violet's romance with Sebastian turns out. Off to listen to next book!

Enjoyable Mystery!
