About this listen

 Fashionable society regards Sir Benjamin Wright with the utmost honour and respect. Yet Lady Emma knows that her husband is, in fact, a drunken jealous brute who delights in humiliating her both in and out of the bedroom.

So, his unexpected murder is a blessing, she thinks - that is, until the constable's accusing finger points to her as the murderer. But it soon becomes apparent that her late husband hid many secrets and enemies.

When the practical Comte Saint-Juste arrives on the scene offering his services, Lady Emma is about to discover what the French dedication to l'amour really means...©1990 M.C. Beaton Historical Historical Fiction Romance Crime Murder Marriage

This book was for me another side of this delightful author. I have long been a fan of Agatha Raisin so was happy to find this historical read.

I am a huge fan of the Agatha Raisin books and so decided to try this one.

The two main characters were very likeable, though

Bad era to be a woman

Lovely period romance slightly in the style of Georgette Hayer but more accessibly written in terms of a modern audience’s attention span!

Lovely story charmingly written
