About this listen

Wealthy playboy Brett Sheridan thinks he knows the score when he hires tough guy private eye Neil Patrick Rafferty to find a priceless stolen folio of Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Brett's convinced his partner-in-crime sister is behind the theft - a theft that's liable to bring more scandal to their eccentric family, and cost Brett his marriage to society heiress Juliet Lennox. What Brett doesn't count on is the instant and powerful attraction that flares between him and Rafferty.

Once before, Brett tok a chance on loving a man, only to find himself betrayed and broken. This time around there's too much at risk.

But as the Bard himself would say, "Journeys end in lovers meeting."

A lovely period piece about hard nosed private eye and a society chap who fall for each other whilst chasing down a missing antique. Think Phillip Marlowe crossed with Big Trouble In Little China. I always love JL's protagonists - they are always so very well fleshed out and rounded, complete people. Rafferty and Brett both have faults and weaknesses. They find their way to each other despite that. The narration really hit the spot for me, it matched the style of the story perfectly.

Great story, great narration
