About this listen

Numbere-one New York Times best-selling author Stephanie Laurens pulls back the curtain on a world that has been hidden from us…until now.

Montague has devoted his life to managing the wealth of London’s elite, but at a huge cost: A family of his own. Then the enticing Miss Violet Matcham seeks his help, and in the puzzle she presents him, he finds an intriguing new challenge professionally…and personally.

Violet, devoted lady-companion to the aging Lady Halstead, turns to Montague to reassure her ladyship that her affairs are in order. But the famous Montague is not at all what she’d expected - this man is compelling, decisive, supportive, and strong - everything Violet needs in a champion, a position to which Montague rapidly lays claim.

But then Lady Halstead is murdered and Violet and Montague, aided by Barnaby Adair, Inspector Stokes, Penelope, and Griselda, race to expose a cunning and cold-blooded killer who stalks closer and closer. Will Montague and Violet learn the shocking truth too late to seize their chance at enduring love?

Somewhat disappointing

After reading all the Cynster stories I was very eager to read about Mr Montague.
I actually can’t believe this was written by the same author. The mystery part of the story was good however there was quite a lot of rather ‘corny’ and unnecessary dialogue.
I also struggle with this narrator. Simon Prebble’s characterisation of Barnaby etc in the first book set a precedence which was a difficult act to follow. Because of this I probably won’t listen to the remainder of the series 😟.

The fractured family!

Violet had worked as a Lady's companion for 8 years when the woman is murdered. Inspector Stokes and Barnaby Adair are asked to solve this along with their wives whom have usually helped to solve these type of things as long as they are not at risk.
The audio was excellent, with the Narrator Napoleon Ryan giving all the voices great inflections.
The cases are fascinating.
