About this listen
Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable.
And yet when she stumbles upon the bludgeoned corpse of poor Mr. Otley in the deserted library of the Skeffingtons' country house, that's exactly what she does.

Good read
This book I enjoyed in manny ways. It had some rather interesting twists. In fact I didn’t quite guess. Who ‘done it’.
My only real dislike was the ending, but then as there are quite a few more books in this series it should tie more strings up.
All in all even though things were a little unbelievable in this book, I did enjoy it.

A quiet and clever woman gains courage
Beatrice Hyde-Clare is plain and shy but intelligent and determined to find the killer who leaves a body in the library one night during a country house party. Her unlikely ally, the Duke of Kesgrave, provides support for her investigation and a foil for her sense of humour. A charming story of the development in confidence of a woman who insists on calling herself a spinster. Delightfully read and most enjoyable.

Disappointing Narrator
I was really looking forward to this book but it has been a disappointment. Sorry to disagree with previous reviewers but the narrator is not good, or fine , or acceptable. She slides in and out of a pseudo British upper class accent to an American one in the middle of sentences and particularly at the end. Her pronunciation of some words is just plain wrong. I couldn’t listen to the entire thing as this verbal sloshing about was too distracting.
And a note for the author- our heroine would not be using ‘every last cent she has with her’. She wouldn’t have any cents. She would have pennies.
