Summary

Spring, 1905: Free-spirited like the Thoroughbreds she rides across the Kentucky countryside, Stella takes adventure by the reins when she's asked to attend a mysterious wedding in rural England. But once she arrives at the lush Morrington Hall estate, her cold and ambitious father confesses that he won't only give away his best racehorses as gifts - he has also arranged to give away his daughter as bride to the Earl of Atherly's financially strapped son...

Stella refuses to be sold off like a prized pony. Yet despite a rough start, there's something intriguing about her groom-to-be, the roguish Viscount "Lyndy" Lyndhurst. The unlikely pair could actually be on the right track with each other...until they find the vicar who was to marry them dead in the library.

With culture clashes mounting between families, a scandalous murder case hangs over Morrington Hall. Now, Stella and Lyndy must go from future spouses to amateur sleuths as they team up to search for the truth-and prevent an unbridled criminal from destroying their new life together right out of the gate . . .

Good Listen

Overall it was an interesting book. Sometimes hard to follow all the characters as they are given different names throughout.

loved this!

This was a great listen. Not only was the mystery intriguing but there was a lovely budding romance between the two main characters who were being forced to make a marriage of convenience. I loved it and cant wait for book 2.

An okay story let down by a lack of research, and poor narration

The author professes to have committed research but clearly didn’t do much with regard to the habits and behaviours of the English aristocracy and their households.

The narration was liberally littered with mispronounciations. Some changed throughout the text - eg, Epsom Derby being pronounced correctly as Dahby at times but more often, incorrectly as Derrrby. Row, as in an argument, being pronounced as in rowing, with oars??
