When one of Countess Amelia's secret Aunt Angy column readers discloses that a recent death wasn't the accident it was made out to be she gets dragged into the path of a potential serial killer of women.
I enjoyed this book. I would say Amelia is probably some flavor of neurodivergent, which made the book more interesting. I'm excited to see how her and her dead husband's best friend's potential romance works out as the series develops. I also look forward to more of her charges' character development.
I liked the mix of emotional and light-hearted that the book had. It kept me from being too sad but didn't make light of the serious parts. I did have a suspicion of the murder but didn't guess who it was.
Narrator Rating- 4.75 stars
The narrator did an excellent job! Almost perfect.
