About this listen
These short stories, full of mystery, intrigue, and romance, offer their own unique slant on the Regency era and feature an assortment of rogues, naval officers, aristocrats, and heiresses:
- "The Gooseberry Fool": Bored and restless, Mark is offered a potentially dangerous mission. He must contact a mysterious British spy who has important information on Napoleon's plans for invasion. In a remote mansion, he must identify his contact amongst a slew of characters who may not be what they seem. Can he separate friend from foe?
- "The Abducted Heiress": Young Tom Northcote, on his way home late one night, investigates a suspicious carriage leaving an abandoned house and rescues a young heiress, Madelyn Honeywick. Taking her home with him, he and his older brother James concoct a plan to make everything right. Success may come at the point of a sword, and Madelyn may never receive her inheritance, but James has other plans for their beautiful guest.
- "Beyond the Garden Gate": A garden . . . a duel . . . a chilling legend. Charlotte waits for more than 20 years to meet Michael, her true love. But it takes Michael a little time to recognize that she is indeed the woman of his dreams. Can their love transcend time?
- "One Night in May": Jaded and bored, a wealthy nobleman visits his newly won property, surprised to learn that someone still lives there. The beautiful unmarried sister of the former owner knows this man by reputation and has loved him from afar for years. In this laugh-out-loud funny story, she manages to confuse him thoroughly and trick him into taking uncharacteristic and life-changing actions.
- "A Shadow on the Soul": When tragedy strikes the Strathairn family at Kildragon Castle, John and Lydia Savidge are asked to investigate. The lady of the castle has confessed to murdering her young son and his teacher, inexplicably. Her husband doesn’t believe her, since she was a loving mother and had no reason to murder either one. While interviewing witnesses, they discover another death and suspect a connection. Can Lydia discover the truth?
"Andrews has produced another witty bundle of Regency tales: a sunshine-filled tonic guaranteed to lift the spirits." (Jane Austen's Regency World)
