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....

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.

I Persevered but…

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...

Takes getting used to...

Very disappointed

Stuck with this as I like her other series & enjoyed the plot, but will not try any others unless it’s a different narrator. Even the credits at the end were read with drama! Not hammy exactly just each word overemphasised as if they were all crucial. Wearing

Ripping yarn - narration very wearing

It’s very tedious. The narrator grinds my gears. Her voice is nice but i think she needs to spend a few weeks in the UK to truly understand the way we pronounce things like ‘father, instead of ‘fotheh’.

Tiresome
