À propos de cet audio

 Captain Harry Cathcart and Lady Rose Summer have entered into an engagement of convenience so Rose can avoid being sent to India with all the other failed debutantes. Rose's sharp intellect and radical ideas have served to repel her would-be suitors. Rose's parents are hardly thrilled that their only child is marrying a man in trade, but Harry comes from a good family and, at the very least, they hope he will keep their troublesome daughter out of mischief.

Unfortunately, even a pretend engagement cannot save Rose from trouble. Bored with endless parties, teas, and balls, she befriends Dolly Tremaine, a beautiful young girl newly arrived from the country and overwhelmed by the demands of the Season.

Rose is delighted to have a protege, but their friendship is cut tragically short when Dolly is found floating in a river. Harry must solve the mystery of Dolly's death, and keep Rose from being the murderer's next victim.

I enjoyed the book, but that is despite the main character's overall attitude feeling out of sync with the first book in the series and an annoying continuity error involving a ring. I hoped this series would be a nice replacement for the Agatha Raisin books (whose continuity errors drove me to distraction), but here we are again.

Nonetheless, a relaxing, pleasant listen for when your brain needs a little holiday.

Do authors not read their own books?

How disappointing. This series has become silly and the characters are stuck in a very unsatisfactory loop. Could not finish it. When I skipped ahead to the epilogue that was disappointing too and didn’t even finish that. Instead of the characters maturing and taking on dimension they became more and more silly and childish. The narrator was very good and I enjoyed the singing that was interspersed into the story.
