Summary
A delectable prequel to the national best-selling Royal Spyness mysteries featuring Lady Georgiana Rannoch - 34th in line to the throne, and England’s poorest heiress. At the end of her first unsuccessful season out in society, Lady Georgiana has all but given up on attracting a suitable man - until she receives an invitation to a masked Halloween ball at Broxley Manor. Georgie is uncertain why she was invited, until she learns that the royal family intends to marry her off to a foreign prince, one reputed to be mad. When the prince, dressed as the devil, rescues her from an embarrassing situation at the ball, Georgie is surprised to find her unwanted suitor to be a dashing, charming man - especially when he pulls her aside and gives her the kiss of a lifetime. But as the time comes for the unmasking, Georgie’s rescuer vanishes and the party is thrown into chaos, making it clear that everything at Broxley Manor is not as it appears…

Shouty reader
Not exactly a great work of fiction but a mildly enjoyable story spoilt by a shouty, overly rapid reader. Which is a shame as her accents and voices are pretty good. I subsequently fpund that playing at 0.85 speed makes the reader a lot less tiring to listen to!

DIsappointingly lacking in continuity
Would you try another book written by Rhys Bowen or narrated by Katherine Kellgren?
I already have - this one's a prequil.
Would you recommend Masked Ball at Broxley Manor to your friends? Why or why not?
Not really -it's OK as short stories go but it's very written with the events of the books of the main series in mind and relies on the listener/reader forgiving the obviouos lack of continuity it creates with how things unfold in the first three books of the main series.
What about Katherine Kellgren’s performance did you like?
Seems reasonabley good and her Irish accent was nicely believable.
Do you think Masked Ball at Broxley Manor needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
It has a whole series of follow-up books.
Any additional comments?
The series as a whole is good which is why I found this shoehorned-in effort disappointing.

Masked Ball at Broxley Manor
Would you try another book written by Rhys Bowen or narrated by Katherine Kellgren?
Might try the author again. Definitely NOT the same narrator.
What was most disappointing about Rhys Bowen’s story?
I found the delivery so unbearable that I couldn't get past Chapter 1.
What didn’t you like about Katherine Kellgren’s performance?
Dreadful! She shouted. Accents were poor and inconsistent.
What character would you cut from Masked Ball at Broxley Manor?
Couldn't listen to enough of the story to answer the question.
Any additional comments?
Audible narrators are usually very good. Disappointing to find a dud!

Awful awful narration
I liked this and it's so disappointing that the narration is so poor.
It's over the top, but what makes it worse is I have to really concentrate to understand which character is supposed to be talking, they all blend together.
I've listened to hundreds of books and it takes a lot for me to stop listening purely due to narration.
This is perhaps the most annoying I've heard so far.

Fun, light prequel
This is a quick novella set before the events in Her Royal Spyness. You meet a 19 year old Georgie nearing the end of her season. It introduces several (but not all) of the characters in the series during the titular social event.
I quite enjoyed the audiobook. I'm a fan of Katherine Kellgren's performances in the series, and this is just as solid as any. Unfortunately, the plot is vague and there's not really a mystery here, the way there is in the other novels in the series. There is one small plot twist that is very predictable if you're familiar with the series. Since I have read the other novels, for me it was about learning more about the characters and enjoying the setting than about the plot itself. In those areas, it does deliver a lovely (if brief) little narrative. The story is paced well and held my interest throughout the entire narration. It answers a few questions about some characters' backstories, too, which is key to any prequel.
As an additional point, if someone hasn't read the series yet, I'd probably not recommend starting here. I don't think it would confuse a new listener, but there's not enough of a plot or mystery for a newcomer to actually decide if they'd like the rest of the series, and it slightly spoils the ending to a later novel.

I really think there should be more short stories!
A lot of my complaints about the series has been repetition and the fact I would like it stripped down. I think Rhys Bowen should do more short stories for Georgie!
Performance from Katherine Kellgren is outstanding as always - I mean could we really have expected any less.

As always a pleasure
Is there anything you would change about this book?
It is too short and therefore not worth a full credit.
Would you recommend Masked Ball at Broxley Manor to your friends? Why or why not?
If you have read the series you will want this but it is a pity the story is so short. It just does not seem like value for money.
Which scene was your favorite?
The dance scene
Do you think Masked Ball at Broxley Manor needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
This is a short story and should be added to one of the other books.
Any additional comments?
It is not worth the value of a full credit.

too short and little more than an introduction
Not worth the money. The narration was fine. Wallace Simpson and the other American voices were so loud and annoying as to be exaggerations of northern accents. If this had been my introduction to the series, I wouldn't have bothered with more. Thankfully, I know better and plan to enjoy them all. $5.00 for this? Getting my money back. Too bad really. I was looking forward to this.

Fun story, but too expensive
Would you try another book from Rhys Bowen and/or Katherine Kellgren?
I have read many other books from this series, and liked them very much.
What does Katherine Kellgren bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The narrator is excellent and brings all the characters to life.
Any additional comments?
However this is a short story, and not worth the price
