Publisher's Summary

July 1831. In the midst of their idyllic honeymoon in England's Lake District, Kiera and Gage's seclusion is soon interrupted by a missive from her new father-in-law. A deadly incident involving a distant relative of the Duke of Wellington has taken place at an abbey south of Dublin, Ireland, and he insists that Kiera and Gage look into the matter.

Intent on discovering what kind of monster could murder a woman of the cloth, the couple travel to Rathfarnham Abbey school. Soon a second nun is slain in broad daylight near a classroom full of young girls. With the sinful killer growing bolder, the mother superior would like to send the students home, but the growing civil unrest in Ireland would make the journey treacherous. Before long, Kiera starts to suspect that some of the girls may be hiding a sinister secret. With the killer poised to strike yet again, Kiera and Gage must make haste and unmask the fiend before their matrimonial bliss comes to an untimely end.

Fantastic audio

I am strongly effected by the audio in audiobooks. It can be the best book in the world but if the reader is stiff or mispronounces characters names it makes the book impossible to get through. The narrator of the lady Darby series is by far my favorite. The accents are amazing the voices of the characters I just LOVE her. The series itself is also very engaging and this latest story set in Ireland is extremely interesting with the history of the religious conflicts and as usual I had no idea who had done it 🤷

Twists and Turns

This book in the series adds more twists and turns. I like the addition of Bree. She adds a new line that I hope continues.
