À propos de cet audio

Charles Lenox, Victorian gentleman and armchair explorer, likes nothing more than to relax in his private study with a cup of tea, a roaring fire and a good book. But when his lifelong friend Lady Jane asks for his help, Lenox cannot resist the chance to unravel a mystery. Prudence Smith, one of Jane's former servants, is dead of an apparent suicide. But Lenox suspects something far more sinister: murder, by a rare and deadly poison. The grand house where the girl worked is full of suspects, and though Prue had dabbled with the hearts of more than a few men, Lenox is baffled by the motive for the girl's death. When another body turns up during the London season's most fashionable ball, Lenox must untangle a web of loyalties and animosities. Was it jealousy that killed Prudence Smith? Or was it something else entirely? And can Lenox find the answer before the killer strikes again---this time, disturbingly close to home?

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Vividly capturing the essence of Victorian England, Finch presents us with a unique sleuth who combines the deductive powers of Sherlock Holmes with the people skills of Thomas Pitt. A sparkling achievement." ( Library Journal, Starred Review)

I enjoyed the story as well as the performance. The tail had enough twists to keep it interesting.

Very good

Period mystery novel that follows an aristocratic detective and his colleagues to discover who murdered a young maid.
Definitely this one will appeal to a very specific crowd. Think Midsomer Murders, and Father Brown . If you enjoy these TV shows, this is likely right up your alley too. The characters are congenial and the aforementioned detective is a highly likable protagonist who is progressive with a sense of chivalry. You don't need the murder to be solved but you want the protagonist to solve the murder, if you get what I mean. It's light upbeat fare, but I love it!
