Sheri Cobb South
Estranged from her husband through her failure to produce an heir, Lady Fieldhurst resolves to repay his neglect by taking a lover. Fate takes a hand when she and her would-be lover enter her bedchamber to find Lord Fieldhurst lying on the floor - with her nail scissors protruding from his neck.
Bow Street Runner John Pickett, 24 years old and new to the Bow Street force, has spent most of his brief career chasing petty thieves and pickpockets. Nothing in his experience has prepared him for low dealings in high society - or for the beautiful young widow who is the chief suspect.

In this one though he’s perfect.
It’s hopefully going to be a great little series.
I laughed in places and loved the dialogue between characters.
*I'm now on book 4 (taken less than a week) and I’m loving every minute, I don’t want it to end.
It’s right up there with the best and most enjoyable book series I’ve listened to or read.
I can’t recommend highly enough.*
After slow start I’m thoroughly enjoying this one.

This proved to be another delightful and well written murder mystery who-dun-it? with the additional pleasures of watching a juggling of niceties of a bygone era, all nicely narrated by Joel Froomkin,. His reading is well paced and modulated, and suitably English accented, everything delivered with the lightest of touches, emphasising the comedic content but never simply playing it for laughs. His different character voices are limitted, but very good, and used with great effect.
In Milady's Chamber is a pleasurable, Regency set murder mystery which combines the niceties of the past with the easy reading of present day, a skill often missing in historical novels and, as such, recommended to all who enjoy this genre. Although it is the interplay between the characters and their circumstances which dominates, the investigation of the crime and the imposed obstructions of the period is also fun for crime solving sleuths. I was very fortunate in being freely gifted with a complimentary copy, at my request, from the rights holder via Audiobook Boom. Thank you so much. It was a real pleasure to be reacquainted with the awkward 24 years old Bow Street Runner and his aquaintances.
