About this listen

An utterly gripping story full of suspense, mystery, and romance

Please note this book was first published as A Matter of Trust.

When headstrong Nesta Aldernay comes to Oxford, it’s to set the record straight for her father. Not to get mixed up in a tragedy, and certainly not to seduce the attractive if somewhat complicated Detective Inspector Lisle Jarvis.

She’s only there to clear her father’s name. Sir Vivian Dalrymple of St Bede’s College tries to help her, but winds up dead. And Nesta was one of the last people to see Sir Vivian alive. What has she got herself into?

Detective Jarvis is concerned to find himself falling for a suspect in his latest murder case, and is determined to keep Nesta at arm’s length. But can he fight his feelings long enough to find Sir Vivian’s killer?

Don’t miss this gripping and enjoyable romantic suspense novel perfect for fans of Danielle Steele, Josephine Cox, Nora Roberts, Marian Keyes, Jojo Moyes, or Jackie Collins.

Narrator did wonders with this story... which started out well but gradually became less and less believable. Author creates a genuinely sympathetic character in the person of the victim —and (at first-the detective) then quickly dispatches the former and leaves the readerto follow the love affairs of the two parallel couples (impossibly handsome/beautiful )at the centre ofthe story. Could so easily have been good but cringe-worthy ‘romantic’ dialogue/descriptions in places

Better without the trite sex scenes
