About this listen

Newly married Frances Hazelton, formerly the Countess of Harleigh, should be planning her honeymoon. Instead, she’s unmasking a murderer among the upper crust …

With her new husband George busy on a special mission for the British Museum, Frances has taken on an assignment of her own. The dowager Viscountess Wingate needs someone to sponsor her niece, Kate, for presentation to Queen Victoria. Frances—who understands society’s quirks and constraints as only an outsider can—is the perfect candidate.

Kate is charming and intelligent, though perhaps not quite as sheltered as she might first appear. More worrying to Frances is the viscountess’s sudden deterioration. The usually formidable dowager has become shockingly frail, and Frances suspects someone may be drugging her. The spotlight falls on Kate, who stands to inherit if her aunt passes, yet there are plenty of other likely candidates within the dowager’s household, both above and below stairs.

Joining forces with her beloved George, Frances comes to believe that the late viscount, too, was targeted. And with the dowager seeming to be in greater danger every day, they must flush out the villain before she follows in her husband’s footsteps, directly to the grave …

Pleasant read, but...

I didn't like that there seemed to not be any clues until the end to help piece together who did it.

Bit weaker than the others, still enjoyable

This story was a little slower and flatter than the previous books in the series. Most of it took place inside one room in a house. Almost *too* cozy, lol.

Delightful & On Point

I love the Countess books. This is no exception. It’s a light read with good twists and turns. Ms. Zimmerman’s performance is perfect. So fun.

Such a Fun Cozy Mystery!

I’ve really enjoyed this book series so far! It’s very entertaining. The stories are great, and thankfully aren’t full of cursing, graphic sex , or violence. (Not that I don’t listen to lots of books that do, but it’s nice that this series doesn’t.)
