I was entertained by this third book in the series, even though I haven't read the first two books. I liked the setting in England in the year 1838. I enjoyed the characters, especially Miss Morton and Mrs. Frogerton. I was entertained by their relationship and their dialogue. I appreciated the tangled threads of the mystery which unrolled slowly. I liked Lucy Rayner's narration when she provided various voices for the different characters, but her slight English accent, during the long narrative passages, caused me to have to listen carefully in order to catch all the details of the story. I won a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which included my honest opinions regarding this story.

4 1/2 stars for me. More information about Caroline's father's legal mess brought a couple more murders into her life. While on this was going on, there was the issue of Caroline's sister running away/being kidnapped by her aunt, further personal attachments were evident. I enjoyed all the personal side trips, giving more backstory to Caroline. As to the murders, I had an inkling who the killer was, but I did get misled by the subtle red herrings. Still a good story. The narration by Lucy Rayner was entertaining. She did a good job trying to keep the voices separate in order for us to know who was talking. Overall, an enjoyable listen. This is my unsolicited review.
