THE DUKE AND LADY SCANDAL Princes of London, Book 1

A Victorian adventure-romance proves entertaining, thanks to the vocal stylings of narrator Karen Cass. When antique store owner Alexandra Prince believes she's uncovered a plot to steal the Crown Jewels, she heads to Scotland Yard, where Detective Inspector Benedict Drake serves. As clues to the impending theft are gathered, romance develops. Cass supplies a measured, introspective narration with impressive clarity. She mirrors the author's respect for both characters' contributions to the investigation. Ben's voice is deeper, while Alexandra's is lighter and rippling. Cass also provides voices that vary in timbre and pitch for the other officers of Scotland Yard, Ben's sister, and Alexandra's acquaintances, which add to the audiobook's professional quality. Listeners will hope Cass delivers the rest of this new series. C.A. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2025]
