À propos de cet audio
The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. He does not suffer fools gladly. So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London's most popular satirical cartoonist, A. J. Quill, skewers them both. But then the clergyman is found slain in a church - his face burned by chemicals, his throat slashed ear to ear - and Wrexford finds himself the chief suspect.
An artist in her own right, Charlotte Sloane has secretly slipped into the persona of her late husband, using his nom de plume, A. J. Quill. When Wrexford discovers her true identity, she fears it will be her undoing. But he has a proposal - use her sources to unveil the clergyman's clandestine involvement in questionable scientific practices and unmask the real murderer. Soon Lord Wrexford and the mysterious Mrs. Sloane plunge into a dangerous shadow world hidden among London's intellectual enclaves to trap a cunning adversary - before they fall victim to the next experiment in villainy.
©2017 Andrea DaRif (P)2017 HighBridge, a division of Recorded BooksThis was a complex and interesting historical mystery set in the regency era. The characters were well crafted and engaging, complete with strengths and foibles. You become engrossed in their lives and their fates. The interaction between to the two main characters is witty and amazingly creative. The narrative is from both their points of view and provides insight into their emotions, past experiences, motivations and actions. In addition the author does a great job of creating great visual imagery bringing the reader into the regency era. The storylines flows along quickly and smoothly. The mystery is filled with great suspects, plenty of clues, dead ends, surprising twists, unexpected turns, danger and a steady buildup of suspense. This is a wonderfully written book that is a must read if you love regency mysteries.
The performance great and added dimension and interest to the story.
