Publisher's summary

Amateur sleuth Kitty Worthington once more investigates when a noble lord plummets to his death, and a dear friend is suspected of murder.

London. 1923. When an invitation arrives to the Duchess of Brightwell's Midsummer Masked Ball, Kitty Worthington does not even think of declining. Not with a mother on the hunt for a noble husband for her. But no sooner does she curtsy to her hostess at the ball than tragedy strikes. A very dead earl is found at the bottom of a staircase, and it's clearly the work of foul play.

Having proven himself a dab hand at dealing with the nobility, Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Robert Crawford is soon asked to investigate. In no time at all he hones in on Lord Newcastle, a friend of Kitty who'd earlier pummeled the earl for sorely abusing his wife.

Afraid her friend may wrongfully pay with his life, Kitty once more organizes her ace team, including her maid, two noble lords, a beloved sister, a lady, and Sir Winston, her still flatulent Basset Hound. From the seediest parts of London, to the fancy mansions of Mayfair, they fearlessly pursue the truth. For if they fail to find the killer, their dear friend may dance one last jig at the end of a rope.

The Narrator Has Grown

A very in-depth story, yet lighthearted and believable.

The narrator was too bubbly and I had to push through the first book…. HOWEVER, it IS excellent narration with the full range of distinctive accents.

Kitty, the main character is growing into a mature woman during the stories, so it was I who didn’t recognize that until now.

BRAVA to the writer AND voice actor!

Very engaging series

I’m definitely hooked on this light-hearted period mystery series. The writing is clever and the performance is grand. I hope there are many more to come.

Narrator

Love it but the narrator did not pronouncing “Magdeline” correctly. In Oxford, it is pronounced “Maudelin” for some strange reason. I can’t remember why as it’s been several years since I was constantly corrected when I visited there.
