À propos de cet audio
The newspapers called us the Seven Wonders. We were a group of friends, that’s all, and then Toby died. Was killed. Murdered.
1905. A decade after the grisly murder of Oxford student Toby Feynsham, the case remains hauntingly unsolved. For Jeremy Kite, the crime not only stole his best friend, it destroyed his whole life. When an anonymous letter lands on his desk, accusing him of having killed Toby, Jem becomes obsessed with finally uncovering the truth.
Jem begins to track down the people who were there the night Toby died – a close circle of friends once known as the ‘Seven Wonders’ for their charm and talent – only to find them as tormented and broken as himself. All of them knew and loved Toby at Oxford. Could one of them really be his killer?
As Jem grows closer to uncovering what happened that night, his pursuer grows bolder, making increasingly terrifying attempts to silence him for good. Will exposing Toby's killer put to rest the shadows that have darkened Jem’s life for so long? Or will the gruesome truth only put him in more danger?
Some secrets are better left buried…
From the bestselling, acclaimed author of The Magpie Lord and The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen comes a chilling historical mystery with a sting in the tail. You won’t be able to put this gripping story down!

Widower Luke Driskell didn’t expect to fall in love and marry again so quickly. But Ashley and her daughter, Joy, are special—a quality borne out when Ashley rushes into a burning day-care center to save the children. Immediately she’s a social media sensation and hero. Then, just as suddenly, Ashley and Joy disappear into the bitterly cold night. With no trace of their whereabouts, Luke begins a panicked investigation. Alarmingly, he can find no proof that the woman he loves even exists. Left behind: just a hidden stash of fake IDs. Different names. Different cities. Same haunted face.

As a string of high-profile jewel thefts went unsolved during the Swinging Sixties, the press dubbed the elusive thief the King of Diamonds. Like Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief, the King was so bold that he tip-toed into the homes of millionaires while they were home, hiding in their closets and daring to smoke while they were sleeping. Rena Pederson, then a young reporter with UPI, started following the elusive thief while she managed the night desk. With gymnastic skill, he climbed trees and crawled across rooftops to take jewels from heiresses, oil kings, corporate CEOs.

It’s a question everyone asks themselves, but few have to face in real life. English teacher Richard Boyle certainly never thought he would find himself talking down a former student intent on harming others, but when Mark LeDrew shows up at Richard’s school with a bomb strapped to his chest, Richard immediately jumps into action. Thanks to some quick thinking, he averts a major tragedy and is hailed as a hero, but not all the attention focused on him is positive.

For anyone returning to her work it’s worth knowing that this particular KJCharles book doesn’t have any explicit scenes (or rather it starts and cuts out like in a tv show).
It’s focused on the unfolding murder mystery as the main course of the story rather than being one of her more romance focused stories / that being said, there is still strong elements of chosen family and queer historical fiction (for which I adore KJ’s work).
KJ’s work has always been best for her ability to write compelling characters in a clever and well researched historical setting… however one of my favourite elements of her work has always been the balance of these elements PLUS the in depth depictions of healthy queer love, affection, and indeed, sex.
That being said, this is newly one of my favourites of her books.
As for the performance of this book, I am incredibly picky about the capabilities/sound of all audio performances and this one has been refreshingly well done!
There were only one or two moments when it took a second to work out who was talking as the distinction between character voices is overall done very well.
Same classic flavour minus the spice

It took me a few chapters to get into but once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I thought the handling of topics like same sex relationships, abortion and SA were presented very well, especially given the time period. I’m not sure I can agree with the ending, but I remind myself it’s a work of fiction.
I’m now off to find more titles by this author!
A surprisingly good listen!
