À propos de cet audio

 From the brilliant and hilarious author of The Rook, a delightful new supernatural adventure: When the heir to the British throne suddenly dies under mysterious circumstances, Checquy operative and reluctant aristocrat Alix is assigned to be lady-in-waiting/personal bodyguard to the new Crown Princess, and must navigate the halls of power and privilege while investigating the supernatural murder of the Prince of Wales.

Alexandra "Alix" Dennis-Palmer-Hudson-Gilmore-Garnsey, the twelfth Lady Mondegreen, has never had any control of her life. Her supernatural ability to shatter bones with a touch made her the automatic property of the Checquy, the secret British government agency that deals with the supernatural. Her aristocratic ancestry made Alix the perfect asset for the Checquy to deploy close to the royal family. Since childhood, Alix has been coached to befriend Princess Louise, second in line to the throne, but despite all machinations, the two have never been close. Now an adult and a full Pawn of the Checquy, Alix is a skilled investigator unravelling supernatural manifestations for the security of the nation.

Everything changes when Louise's brother, the Prince of Wales, dies abruptly, and all signs point to an unnatural assassination. To protect Louise, the new and unwilling heir apparent, Alix is assigned to be her lady-in-waiting. Thrust into the limelight overnight—both in the everyday world and in the underground world of the Checquy—Alix must juggle her responsibilities and her loyalties as she attempts to unravel the murder, keep Louise safe, and learn how to smile graciously while eerie threats loom around every corner.

I listen to this series at least a couple of times a year. The characters are comfortable old friends. This latest book moves the story in all the fun and unexpected ways I've come to expect from Daniel O'Malley. Moira Quirk is a master at creating character voices so real I forget it's the same person reading them. Her comedic timing elevates this series to the highest level of audio entertainment.

A great continuation of my favourite series!

One of the strongest books in the Rook series. Each book follows a different member of the Chequay in a different time, and this is no different. Alex is a member of the British aristocracy, which makes her ideal as a bodyguard for the princess - something that irks Alex, who must deal with the reputation as getting undeserved favours. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince is dead from a supernatural murder, and Alex is on the case. Like all the Rook novels, it's hard to guess where things are going until the end, and you can feel the frustration as Alex tries one thing after another only to fail to solve the case - while trying to juggle her new career as a lady-in-waiting. The ins and outs of royalty are fascinating, and Alex is a sympathetic character with her own flaws, goals and powers. The voice acting is fantastic, and you get to see some of the beloved characters from earlier books. All in all, I'm very happy with it! My only complaint is that the ending of the novel is rather bittersweet, muddying the waters and making Alex's victory seem a little hollow. But it IS a victory nevertheless, and a solid ending.

Great book, bittersweet ending
