About this listen

Georgie and Darcy are finally on their honeymoon in Kenya's Happy Valley, but murder crashes the party in this all-new installment in the New York Times best-selling series.

I was so excited when Darcy announced out of the blue that we were flying to Kenya for our extended honeymoon. Now that we are here, I suspect he has actually been sent to fulfill another secret mission. I am trying very hard not to pick a fight about it, because after all, we are in paradise! Darcy finally confides that there have been robberies in London and Paris. It seems the thief was a member of the aristocracy and may have fled to Kenya. Since we are staying in the Happy Valley - the center of upper-class English life - we are well positioned to hunt for clues and ferret out possible suspects.

Now that I am a sophisticated married woman, I am doing my best to sound like one. But crikey! These aristocrats are a thoroughly loathsome sort enjoying a completely decadent lifestyle filled with wild parties and rampant infidelity. And one of the leading lights in the community, Lord Cheriton, has the nerve to make a play for me. While I am on my honeymoon! Of course, I put an end to that right off.

When he is found bloodied and lifeless along a lonely stretch of road, it appears he fell victim to a lion. But it seems that the Happy Valley community wants to close the case a bit too quickly. Darcy and I soon discover that there is much more than a simple robbery and an animal attack to contend with here in Kenya. Nearly everyone has a motive to want Lord Cheriton dead and some will go to great lengths to silence anyone who asks too many questions. The hunt is on! I just hope I can survive my honeymoon long enough to catch a killer....

A riveting mystery intertwined with the romance of the newly wed couple. A must listen to.

Weird Narration

Love these books, but the narrator uses weird inflections and is very annoying. Queenie (one of my favourite characters)
seems to have a completely different accent. So disappointing

Love this series!

I feared this series had finished when Georgie and Darcey married. So I was elated to find this audiobook. I enjoyed the story and the characters very much. The narrator had big shoes to fill but I thought she did an excellent job in this and the previous book. Looking forward to listening to her voice again in the next book!?!?

Most addictive story yet

Having got to know Georgie and Darcy over some 10 stories, I have got fond of them. This story is more fun as a tale of their honeymoon than as a murder mystery.

Either way, I could not stop listening and gobbled the story up like a box of chocolates.
