While Lady Violet Belmaine is busy sorting out the odd turns her life has recently taken, Hugh St. Sevier repairs to his Kent estate in hopes of embarking on the placid life of a rural physician. Alas, for St. Sevier, the village of St. Ivo has more secrets than it has pots of heartease, and the good doctor will once again find himself the target of rumors and threats.

Somebody is rigging St. Ivo’s hound races, setting neighbor against neighbor, and turning what should be a friendly entertainment into an occasion for brawling. As an expert on medicinal herbs and soporifics, St. Sevier comes under suspicion. St. Ivo badly needs a physician, and the village also needs somebody to unravel the intrigues that are tearing it apart. St. Sevier can’t get to the bottom of the mystery on his own, but help—in the persons of Lady Violet and Sebastian MacHeath—is on the way!

I listened to the first two novels in this series because I liked the characters and the stories. The first novel had a completely unworkable plot (no aristocratic family could have got away with their ploy. The servants would have revealed all) but I still enjoyed the novel. The Americanisms were minimal and the historical inaccuracies, especially with regard to societal behaviours at that time also fairly minimal.

Unfortunately the narrator is unbearable, I jumped four books to listen to this last one because I wanted to know how it all panned out, but I can’t bear any more. Her accents are dreadful, especially those of residents of the British Isles. If you want to write books set in Britain and peopled with mainly British characters then for goodness sake choose a narrator who can actually speak the language, is good with accents and colloquialisms, and most of all, someone who can pronounce the simplest words accurately. The narrator has beaten me down, I’ve missed out four of seven books and I just can’t stand to listen to any more of this one:

I like this author. She creates great characters with excellent back stories but I can’t stand the narration.

Cannot stand this narrator any more
