About this audiobook

A lady never reveals the true extent of her decay...

Hannah Miles lives a quiet existence, helping her parents conduct research into a most terrible affliction - until a gruesome murder during her best friend's engagement party pulls her from the shadows. With her specialist's knowledge and demure disposition, Hannah is requested to aid the investigation.

Except Hannah discovers her role is to apologise in the wake of the rude and disgraced man tasked with finding the murderer. The obnoxious Viscount Wycliff thinks to employ Hannah purely as a front to satisfy Whitehall, but she'll have none of that.

The two must work together to find the murderer before the season is ruined. But the viscount is about to meet his greatest challenge, and it's not a member of the ton with a hankering for brains.

A gentle paranormal Regency mystery, combining a fantasy of manners with gaslamp. Perfect for fans of CJ Archer or Charlie N Holmberg.

Ratings and reviews

This audiobook has been by far the most engaging and interesting story that I have had the pleasure of listening to. A powerful blend of horror magic and romance. It is impeccably narrated with a dose of quirky dark and funny scenes. A real treat for the imagination.

Very engaging listen. The characters felt like real people with their own motives and I was very pleased that the Main character was not just another clueless idiot who made bad decisions because the plot required it.

I found this book had a different view on romance, murder and mystery. I really enjoyed it.
