About this listen

‘Written with an incredible eye for detail of the historical setting, this wonderful romantic tale will earn your respect and keep you entertained’ Adele Parks

‘If you loved Her Heart for a Compass, you will love [this book]’ Sunday Times bestselling author Fern Britton

Scandals, seduction and secrets… and one woman’s quest to uncover the truth

Wallflower Lady Mary Montagu Douglas Scott has a secret. Moving effortlessly unnoticed amongst the ballrooms and palaces of Queen Victoria, her sharp intelligence and keen powers of observation allow her to quietly solve society crimes – coming to the rescue of those whose pride and fortune are at stake.

Overlooked and underestimated, Mary finds missing money, recovers stolen jewellery and saves reputations. When she meets Colonel Walter Trefusis, an unlikely and spirited alliance is formed. But Mary has more than met her match in her sleuthing partner. As she battles the expectations of society and her family, Mary must follow her heart – whatever the cost…

‘A rollicking, romantic tale of love and intrigue in aristocratic Victorian Scotland. Sarah Ferguson’s fascinatingly detailed novel kept me turning the pages as it’s very entertaining.’ Dame Joan Collins

‘A wonderful and colourful romance, well-researched, well-realised, and rich in historical detail. In short, another beguiling read from the Duchess of York’ Lord Julian Fellowes

‘A fantastic historical mystery with plenty of passion as you would expect from the Duchess of York. A triumph’ New York Times bestselling author Roma Downey OBE

‘She’s done it again, and I bet this one will be even more successful.’ Jeffrey Archer

‘Fast paced, romantic and good fun, this is a modern take on a classic period, with delightful characters to boot.’ Candis Magazine

Really enjoyed this second book by Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York. Her narration along with Ell Potter was excellent. As much as I loved this book, I am so glad that females have advanced over the years. But loved the gentry style of life from my armchair all the same. I am sure I will get book number 3 when it comes out. I would recommend this book

Another enjoyable book

I liked the whole story line and how everything flowed throughout the chapters. I found myself looking forward to the next evening when I could start listening again. Very interim the part at the end when Sarah explained about the research into the characters.

I preferred the first novel but this is quite enjoyable. It feels a bit like a series of short stories involving the same characters, The narration is good but a bit over enunciated at times.

Good effort

This had me gripped from the start to the very end.It was so engaging and you just wanted to listen to more and more. I’ve just downloaded her earlier novel I’m that impressed. The narration was perfect and really suited the book. I can highly recommend this as a must listen. I’ve listened over a period of 24 hours on and off. Wish I could reward higher. Thank you you beautiful strong lady x
