Bath, England, 1891. Mr. James Harding was a lot of things—businessman, well-to-do, probable scoundrel—but a drinker he most assuredly was not. So when Harding is believed to have drunkenly fallen to his death into the icy River Avon, Lord William Wethington is immediately suspicious. Finding Lord William's name on a letter in the victim's pocket, the local constabulary summons William to identify the victim. Police detectives learn that William had been one of Harding's business clients—and undoubtedly not the only client the dead man had cheated. William entreats Lady Amy Lovell, a fellow member of the Mystery Book Club of Bath, to help him deduce what really happened to the late Mr. Harding. Lady Amy, a celebrated mystery author herself, once called on William to help her solve a real-life mystery, and now she fully intends to return the favor. But it won't be easy. Practically every one of Harding's many clients had ample reason to want to do him in. And there's precious little time to narrow down the list: William and Amy soon become prime suspects themselves when the police discover them ruffling through files in Harding's house. Lady Amy will have to be as clever as her characters if she's to save William from the gallows... and herself from Harding's real killer.

      Nano Nagle delivers this tangled mystery involving multiple murders and suspects. Sweet Lady Amy Lovell, who secretly writes murder mysteries as E.D. Burton, and Lord William, her fast friend and fellow amateur sleuth, take on their second investigation in Bath, England, in 1891. Mr. James Harding, Lord William's man of business, drowns under suspicious circumstances. Nagle realistically voices eligible aristocrats and their marriage-minded mamas, plucky domestics, and the odd professional. The crisply enunciated aristocratic duo poke into Harding's life and business affairs, triggering violent attacks, another murder or two, and multiple visits from broadly accented police. Nagle's performance of this delightful cozy may make listeners giggle or gasp, but it doesn't falter, no matter what Lady Amy and Lord William discover. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
