À propos de cet audio

 In Regency England, the eccentric Colebrook sisters are amateur detectives who use their wits and invisibility as “old maids” to fight injustice in this delightful and fiercely feminist novel of mystery and adventure from New York Times bestselling author Alison Goodman.

To most of Regency high society, forty-two-year-old Lady Augusta Colebrook, or Gus, and her twin sister, Julia, are just unmarried ladies of a certain age. But the Colebrook twins are far from useless old maids. They are secretly protecting women and children ignored by society and the law.

When Lord Evan—a charming escaped convict who has won Gus’s heart—needs to hide his sister, Hester, from their vindictive brother, Gus and Julia take Hester and her lover into their home. But Lord Evan’s complicated past puts them all in danger. Gus knows they must clear his name of murder if he is to survive the thieftakers who hunt him. No easy task—the fatal duel was twenty years ago and a key witness is nowhere to be found.

In a deadly cat-and-mouse game, Gus, Julia, and Lord Evan must dodge their pursuers and investigate Lord Evan’s past. They will be thrust into the ugly underworld of Georgian gentlemen’s clubs, spies, and ruthless bounty hunters, not to mention the everyday threat of narrow-minded brothers. Will the truth be found in time, or will dangerous secrets from the past destroy family bonds and rip new love and lives apart? Femmes détectives Historique Roman policier Sincère Chats

Best Series Ever

Could not devour this book fast enough. This series I hope goes on for many more books. I would very happily read every single one. I Love Gus & Julia. Evan and Kent are dreamy male leads with integrity and character sorely lacking in modern life. .

Fantastic story

This series is a spectacular glimpse into feminism in the 1800s, blending historical depth with emotional intensity. From the very first page, the story pulled me in and refused to let go. Each chapter unfolds with purpose and power, keeping the suspense alive while exploring the courage and resilience of women navigating a restrictive and often dangerous era.

The writing is eloquent and richly detailed, vividly bringing the period to life without romanticizing it. The novel does not shy away from the terrors and injustices of the age, which makes the triumphs of its heroines all the more compelling. Lady Julia and Lady Augusta are not merely characters—they are fully realized women whose strength, intelligence, and determination shine through every challenge they face.

The narration is truly second to none. Every character is distinct and memorable, their voices and personalities clearly defined. The storytelling reflects the soul of each individual, making their struggles, ambitions, and emotions feel authentic and deeply human.

This book is both powerful and unforgettable. I eagerly await the next installment in what is already a fantastic and meaningful series.

All Hail Lady Julia and Lady Augusta!

I really enjoyed the first book in this series. This one not so much. It felt very drawn out and moved at a turtle’s pace. The narrator tended to become very shrill and overly dramatic when there was any tension in the plot.
There was much repetition, mooning over Evan and stereotyping of characters. The main character, Augusta, who was strong willed in the first book, was bossy, opinionated, and sometimes quite rude in this one. I didn’t like her much, which hampered my enjoyment of the book. Evan, although often present in the story was almost a non entity in this one, which was disappointing.

Meh…
