About this listen
A wounded soldier and a rector's daughter discover strange goings-on in their sleepy English village in this Regency-era mystery series opener.
Major Robert Kurland has returned to the quiet vistas of Kurland St. Mary to recuperate from the horrors of Waterloo. However injured his body may be, his mind is as active as ever. Too active, perhaps. When he glimpses a shadowy figure from his bedroom window struggling with a heavy load, the tranquil façade of the village begins to loom sinister....
Unable to forget the incident, Robert confides in his childhood friend, Miss Lucy Harrington. As the dutiful daughter of the widowed rector, following up on the major's suspicions offers a welcome diversion-but soon presents real danger. Someone is intent on stopping their investigation. And in a place where no one locks their doors, a series of thefts and the disappearance of two young serving girls demands explanation....
As Robert grapples with his difficult recovery, he and Lucy try to unearth the dark truth lurking within the village shadows, and stop a killer waiting to strike again....

Good mystery interesting characters
A very disappointing end, an anticlimax after being led to believe a happy outcome, nevertheless a good story

Excellent!
Great mix of historical reference, wit, drama and intrigue set against the undertone of a complex and warming relationship

It was okay
An easy listen, with an ok story, but nothing really happens of note in it. Mediocre

A wonderful escape from the world.
What a breath of fresh air! Not my usual pick of book but I loved every minute of it. Great characters and story . The icing on the cake; it was narrated by Susannah Tyrrell...... absolutely brilliant.

Narrator wasn't the greatest
Storyline is good but I couldn't take the narration any longer unfortunately gave it a good go but just couldn't see it through to the end. Got to chapter 13 but it really started to grate on my nerves I'm sorry to say.

Excellent story
A story in which I expected nothing and was surprised and captivated by it’s freshness and originality.
With others,I doubt the place and history, but it’s an intoxicating story.

Charming
Fun and engaging. Would recommend. Liked that the characters didn’t do the obvious and, although there were pointers, the mystery wasn’t ridiculously easy to guess.
