About this listen

January 1910. A journalist has been killed in a suspicious blaze. Everything points to a group of suffragettes, but the apparent culprit insists she is innocent.

When Lady Hardcastle receives a letter from a suffragette requesting her urgent help, the retired spy turned sleuth knows only she stands between an accused young woman and the gallows. Evidence at the scene makes Lizzie Worrel’s innocence difficult to believe, and with the police treating it as an open-and-shut case of arson, Lady Hardcastle faces a barrage of resistance as she tries to dig out the truth.

With her trusted maid and confidante, the formidable Flo, Lady Hardcastle sets off in pursuit of the truth as time runs out for the accused suffragette. Was she set up? And if so, is the real culprit a traitor to the cause - or part of a darker conspiracy?

I love these books however as a Welsh speaker the incorrect pronunciation of many words used does anyone somewhat.

That said I still plan to listen to them all as I love the characters and the plot

Lovely story but pronunciation is off

Another good one

love this series, Flo and Lady Hardcastle are loveable characters and the stories are superb. It's feel good, it's cosy and it's funny. I'd recommend this and any of the other books in this series!

Great story

I have all the Lady Hardcastle audiobooks, and enjoy wach & every one of them. The relationship between the 2 main characters is warm & refreshing. The narrator is very good at the different voices, and consistent in how she presents them. TE Kinsey, please write more!

Great stories, fab narration, loved it!

Everything about this story was so enjoyable, the story itself, the characters, the narration is brilliant with the narrator having a very uplifting voice. The historical notes at the end were of particular interest as this was where members of my family had their business as long ago as 1910.

Wonderfully entertaining!

I have loved this series the characters are just lovely Lady Hardcastle and Flo are two the most adorable people you would ever want to meet they are witty with many laugh out loud moments, in fact I think I could easily fall in love with Flo as long as I didn't annoy her ;)
I have read some comments about how believable it is having these two ladies sleuthing and the police allowing it well millions like Miss Marple and these two are no different just a lot more amusing.
As for the narration well Elizabeth is first class and she makes Flo come to life and she is very good with the other characters too including the men parts. I really can't wait until the next book is written.

Brilliant book

I've got into the swing of this series and find them an entertaining departure into another world, but not to be taken too seriously. Well worth a listen

Very enjoyable, all a jolly wheeze

Another good, solid story, this time one with a bit more "edge" and some interesting bits of history. A potential new member of the "supporting cast" is introduced, and one from the previous story features again, this time in a more prominent way.

Excellent continuation of the series
