Summary
When Harriet Gordon receives word from a friend about a tragic death, she and Inspector Curran are thrust into a web of family secrets that threatens to destroy them both in this all-new mystery from the author of Singapore Sapphire.
Singapore, 1910 - Harriet Gordon has found fulfillment at last. Her young ward, Will, has settled into his new home with Harriet and her brother, Julian. And Harriet’s employment as a typist at the Straits Settlements Police Force has given her an intriguing way to occupy her time and some much-needed financial independence. But when her friend and employer, Inspector Robert Curran, is called to the scene of a brutal murder and Harriet is asked to comfort the victim’s family, her newfound sense of contentment is abruptly shattered.
Sylvie Nolan, the new and much-younger wife of Lieutenant Colonel John Nolan, has been bludgeoned to death in her bedroom. The tightly knit military community in Singapore quickly closes ranks to hinder Curran’s investigation, and Harriet realizes that her friendship with the colonel’s sister might prove useful.
But to get close enough to the family’s secrets, Harriet must once again face her painful past, and Curran is forced to dredge up some long-buried secrets of his own. And when more shocking deaths occur that all seem linked to Sylvie’s murder, Harriet and Curran discover that they too are in the sights of a callous killer....

Wrong speed Audible, wrong narrator!
The narration of this second book was a disappointment. First of all the speed was all wrong, just terrible. I had to increase it to x 1.2 for it to make comfortable listening. Even then this book lost much of its charm because the narrator was not the same one used in the first book. She had been perfect. With these two flaws the story still stood as entertaining and the development of the characters making it certain that I will be looking out for book 3 in the series. Just hope you correct what was missing Audible or you will be letting this author down.

Definitely recommend, but...
Must confess I was SO disappointed when I started listening to this and realised the fabulous narrator from book 1 had been replaced. The characters sounded all wrong and I had to stop listening... But, after a break, I returned and the change in voices didn’t grate and I was able to enjoy another fab tale by A.M. Stuart. Just loving this series... really interesting time & place, strong characters and a enjoyable level of murder & mystery (not lots of gore or psychological creepiness). The narrator sounded a bit computerised at first, but was just fine once they got going, although I did speed it up a bit (1.1x). Definitely recommend, but don’t rush from book 1 to book 2, the voices sound all wrong!

Very Enjoyable
Better than the first Harriet Gordon book. Characters developing well and new ones from different backgrounds create interest.
I found the narrator a bit slow and listened at 1.1 X speed, but she read clearly and has pleasant voice. Accents not great, but not overdone.
Hopefully a third book will come along.

Good story but poor narrator
I love this series but the narrator was such a disappointment. The first book had been a pleasure to listen. This one was painful.
However the story was enjoyable and I am looking forward to the next one.
