About this listen

While Lady Violet Belmaine is busy sorting out the odd turns her life has recently taken, Hugh St. Sevier repairs to his Kent estate in hopes of embarking on the placid life of a rural physician. Alas, for St. Sevier, the village of St. Ivo has more secrets than it has pots of heartease, and the good doctor will once again find himself the target of rumors and threats.

Somebody is rigging St. Ivo’s hound races, setting neighbor against neighbor, and turning what should be a friendly entertainment into an occasion for brawling. As an expert on medicinal herbs and soporifics, St. Sevier comes under suspicion. St. Ivo badly needs a physician, and the village also needs somebody to unravel the intrigues that are tearing it apart. St. Sevier can’t get to the bottom of the mystery on his own, but help—in the persons of Lady Violet and Sebastian MacHeath—is on the way!

I like the characters, the puzzles solved (not Jessica Fletcher having people die everywhere she goes), and each book builds on the 3 characters and Lady Violet family. I really enjoy the narrator, the French, Scottish and various English accents. However, in this book, she slips and I found it annoying. Men would have a consistent burr but Hughs’ wife was not.

I am looking forward to the next book in the series and I would recommend it as light listening mixing mystery and romance.

Love the series. Excellent story arc with interesting puzzles.

I enjoyed the book but not as much as others in the series, too much repetition of explanation of relationship.
