Publisher's Summary
Jane Austen meets Sherlock Holmes in this new Regency mystery series
Newly returned from finishing school, Lady Juliette Thorndike is ready to debut in London society. Due to her years away, she hasn't spent much time with her parents, and sees them only as the flighty, dilettante couple the other nobles love. But when they disappear, she discovers she never really knew them at all. They've been living double lives as government spies - and they're only the latest in a long history of espionage that is the family's legacy.
Now Lady Juliette is determined to continue their work. Mentored by her uncle, she plunges into the dangerous world of spy craft. From the glittering ballrooms of London to the fox hunts, regattas, and soirees of country high society, she must chase down hidden clues, solve the mysterious code her parents left behind, and stay out of danger. All the while, she has to keep her endeavors a secret from her best friend and her suitors - not to mention nosy, irritatingly handsome Bow Street runner Daniel Swann, who suspects her of a daring theft.
Can Lady Juliette outwit her enemies and complete her parents' last mission? Or will it lead her to a terrible end?

Reader ruined great writers work
Kim Bretton can give herself a new name, but she’s still Rachael Beresford. Endured an entire 6 book series read by this woman, and no matter what name she uses, it doesn’t change whom she is. She REALLY RUINS the book. Listening to her is like grating your knuckles on a zesting grater that just had lemon juice and Salt put all over it. Painful and messy. I give it a one for performance because I can’t give a zero.
The very fact she’s had to change name to keep reading tells it all.
I can’t even say the book is good, because listening is such torture it detracts from hearing what’s read. I’ve given it 5 stars because all her other books are worthy of 5 stars, so I’m guessing based on her past novels which are all wonderful.
I’ve left great reviews about Erica Vetsch’s books, of which I’ve bought several, claiming her to be a serious up and coming author to watch, one who could match the great Judith McNaught (but clean).
But Ms Vetsch, I won’t be buying any more books read by this reader. I suggest you find a better reader unless you want sales to drop. Apologies for you are an incredible writer, but you need to hear the truth. When it comes to audio books, the reader makes or breaks the books.
