Summary
A romance develops as a detective partners with a lonely-hearts columnist to solve a murder mystery.
London, 1885
Amelie Hampton is a hopeless romantic, which makes her the perfect columnist to answer lonely heart letters in The Marriage Gazette. When Amelie plays matchmaker with two anonymous lonely hearts, she also decides to secretly observe the couple’s blind date. To her surprise, the man who appears for the rendezvous is Harold Radcliffe - a grieving widower and a member of Amelie’s book club.
Police detective Michael Baker has been struggling ever since his best friend and brother-in-law died in the line of fire. Because he knows the dangers of his job, he has vowed never to marry and subject a wife and family to the uncertainty of his profession. But when he meets Miss Hampton, he is captured by her innocence, beauty, and her quick mind.
When a woman’s body is pulled from the river, Michael suspects the woman’s husband - Harold Radcliffe - of foul play. Amelie refuses to believe that Harold is capable of such violence but agrees to help, imagining it will be like one of her favorite mystery novels. Her social connections and clever observations prove an asset to the case, and Amelie is determined to prove Mr. Radcliffe’s innocence. But the more time Amelie and Michael spend together, the more they trust each other and the more they realize they are a good team, maybe the perfect match.
They also realize that Mr. Radcliffe is hiding more than one secret, and when his attention turns toward Amelie, Michael knows he must put an end to this case before the woman he loves comes to harm.

Justine Eyre is better than this!
Not a bad story and enjoyable characters but whoever directed and had Justine Eyre do such a silly voice deserves opprobrium on a grand scale.

Good little story shame about the narration
I really enjoyed the story, good plot and well written, but the narrator said some words very strangely ‘holl’ instead of ‘hall’ for example. It detracted a lot from the plot.

Good plot
Multiple murders, a dastardly villain, an intrepid hero and a family of fearless females. A better narrator would have made more of it.

Can't bear the accents
The narrator sounds like they're in pain when pronouncing most words and I'm struggling to get past it. A few hours in and the story is alright but not sure if I'll finish it as it's fairly flat read this way.

Good Pacing, Engaging Plot and Sweet Romance
The characters were relatable, and the setting fun and historically rich.
I personally love Justine Eyer's narration and find her name alone recommends her specifically for historical fiction.
Age recommendation: 15+ or young adult(subtle hints of spice towards the end but otherwise very wholesome romance)

OK
Slightly irritating nativity, a couple of Americanisms, which appear in most stories now, to appeal over the water. I do wonder why as they have read English books for years and obviously understood them. why start pandering in the last 5 years?
