A DECEPTION AT THORNECREST Amory Ames Mysteries, Book 7

Alison Larkin maintains the listener's interest in this audiobook set in 1930s England. As Amory Ames enters her final month of pregnancy, she and her husband, Milo, are surprised to learn that he has a half-brother, Darian. The pair soon discover that Darian is a womanizer and a scoundrel. Then, when he is arrested for murdering the former paramour of his newest conquest, the resulting conflict threatens to tear the couple apart. Without overemoting, Larkin delivers a range of emotions, including the surliness of a bitter woman and Amory's joy as she proclaims her fierce love for her unborn baby.
