Reviews
"This audiobook begins as a classic late-nineteenth-century romance when plucky, young Genevieve, who is determined to defy society's expectations by pursuing a career in journalism, meets a handsome, enigmatic Daniel, a millionaire with a dubious background. What begins as an ambitious reporter's search for a story leads to scandal and murder. The clear, reedy voice of Melanie Carey tells this story about how Daniel and Genevieve pair up to uncover a scam perpetrated upon the upper echelons of New York society. Carey deftly performs the many voices that are part of this lush, action-packed mystery. Her Irish accents are among her most authentic sounding. This is the debut novel in the Gilded Gotham Mystery series." D.L.G. © AudioFile 2022
