About this listen

Finally, Flora Hyde-Clare has wrest the narrative from Beatrice by finding her own compelling murder mystery to solve.

Well, it’s not entirely her own because the victim is her cousin’s former beau Mr. Theodore Davies, whose father cruelly separated the young lovers (though not so cruelly, for it left the door open for Bea to woo the duke of Kesgrave). Bea insists, of course, that the law clerk’s death was merely an accident. If only he had not been in the path of that wretched carriage!

Oh, but Flora knows that evasive look on her cousin’s face. Bea is hiding something. Clearly, Davies had gotten himself entangled in some nefarious business, and Flora is determined to discover the truth despite the danger it puts her in.

Or is that because it puts her in danger? After all, any heroine worth her salt must be willing to take on a great deal of personal risk. And Flora has her mind set on being a heroine of the highest order.

Initially, I found the narration very high-pitched, but when I listened at a higher speed, it became less noticeable.
Flora was a very cute and fun character. I loved watching her interactions with Mr Holcroft who was sweet and protective with had a lovely sense of humour. Their first scene where he insists on helping her to protect her reputation had me laughing out loud as did her recollections of dancing with him.
This mystery gave me great enjoyment with its many twists and turns and the burgeoning romance.

A funny, lighthearted mystery

I loved this book so much. Flora is such a fun character to have as the main POV. She’s younger, and a bit more frivolous than Bea, but just as determined! I really hope we’ll see a lot more of Flora in future stories.

I was so entertained by the story. Flora takes a mystery that doesn’t even exist, and somehow gets herself and Holcroft embroiled in a web of corruption. It’s hilarious, and also brilliant!

The narration is spot on too, the voice that Jill Smith has chosen for Flora really conveys her character. And as always, her expression of emotions is excellent.

Overall, this was an excellently narrated, hilarious romp. Brilliantly funny and also a fun mystery. What more could you want?
