Summary

Lady Arianna Hadley's desire for revenge has brought her back to London from exile in the West Indies. Determined to find the men responsible for her disgraced father's murder, she disguises herself as a man and contrives to be hired as a chef in one of London's aristocratic households. But when the prince regent is poisoned by Arianna's special chocolate dessert, she finds her own quest has become intertwined with a far more deadly intrigue.

Because of his expertise in chocolate, the earl of Saybrook is asked by the government to investigate the crime. Though he, too, is fighting inner demons, he reluctantly agrees. His first confrontation with Arianna has them at daggers drawn. But when someone tries to kill them both, they become reluctant allies in the hunt to discover what evil is afoot.

As their investigation takes them from the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair to the slums of St. Giles, they uncover a cunning plan of fraud that could throw the government into chaos. Determined to bring the culprits to justice, they set an elaborate trap, but they find themselves dancing on a razor's edge - and one false step will prove fatal....

So disappointing…

Having finished a whole series I was looking forward to start a new series by the author …
But as fascinating the story line of this book might sound - the narrator makes it an AWFUL EXPERIENCE
- sounds all the way through slurred and like sexual talk - SIMPLY AWFUL !!

Had to stop

Will give the second book in this series a chance BUT will be very critical and won’t too much time on this

THIS BOOK WAS A WASTE OF PRECIOUS TIME!

Narrator is NOT to my taste.

I really disliked this narrator. She is the reason I stopped listening . Every word sounds like she is trying to seduce someone. Very whispery and husky. Also, the last word of most sentences is enunciated very oddly. Tas…k, fa…ce, hi…t, bi…te.

I Persevered but…

The narrator’s style & character voices were all over the place. It confused me to the point I lost interest & the audio became background noise while I worked. The storyline was mediocre.

Takes getting used to...

I like mysteries, intrigues and who dunnits. Yet this was so disjointed that it took several relistens to the first 3 chapters to bed itself in me. I confess that I soon tired of the ‘Chocolate Diary’ introduction to each chapter - I found that it didn’t add anything to the story for me - I fast forwarded by 30 seconds each time.

The plot was (unnecessarily) complicated & unsatisfying. That said, I shall read the next book to make up my mind on whether I should continue with this series. I can only urge you to try this for yourself to determine if we think alike...

Annoying narrator

I loved the story but the narration spoiled it for me. It was extremely distracting. I would have returned it but couldn’t find how. But not because of the storyline.

A Regency suspense filled rollercoaster!

Superb book. A Regency delight packed full of murder, suspense, Mystery and Romance. The Narrator was seductive in both Male & Female form...Lovers of Captain Lacey Mysteries will equally be enthralled by this book. Please Ms Penrose, keep on writing! ;-)
