Resumen del Editor

London 1815. Although newly widowed Lily Adler is returning to a society that frowns on independent women, she is determined to create a meaningful life for herself even without a husband. She's no stranger to the glittering world of London's upper crust. At a ball thrown by her oldest friend, Lady Walter, she expects the scandal, gossip, and secrets. What she doesn't expect is the dead body in Lady Walter's garden.

Lily overheard the man just minutes before he was shot: young, desperate, and attempting blackmail. But she's willing to leave the matter to the local constables - until Lord Walter bribes the investigating magistrate to drop the case. Stunned and confused, Lily realizes she's the only one with the key to catching the killer.

Aided by a roguish navy captain and a mysterious heiress from the West Indies, Lily sets out to discover whether her friend's husband is mixed up in blackmail and murder. The unlikely team tries to conceal their investigation behind the whirl of London's social season, but the dead man knew secrets about people with power. Secrets that they would kill to keep hidden. Now, Lily will have to uncover the truth - before she becomes the murderer's next target.

EXCELLENT READ

LOVED THIS BOOK. THE CHARACTERS ARE CAPTIVATING, AND THE MOMENTS OF HUMOR SLIPPED IN AT JUST THE RIGHT MOMENT. THE STORY WAS INTRIGUING, AND, YES, WE CAN ALL FEEL SUPERIOR, FROM TIME TO TIME, AT HOW MUCH LESS MATERIALISTIC AND ARTIFICIAL WE ARE TODAY. (IF YOU REALLY THINK SO) I CANNOT WAIT TO READ BOOK 2.

Not a cozy mystery

Real thought and portrayal of women’s issues, classism, and colonial bigotry. A nice group of twists and turns in the hunt for a killer. But no matter how much they laude Lilly’s intelligence and independence, I can’t stand the simpering, back stabbing, and false friends. I don’t even care now about the end as I consider how this deplorable society will treat the murderer’s family.
I would argue that the story might be better if they changed the time and community, but sadly so many groups of people are still this horrible.
In defense for the story, it is a historical not a cozy mystery.

Great mystery story

I thoroughly enjoyed The Body in the Garden. It was well written and a well-crafted mystery. I became thoroughly invested in the character of Lily Adler. I will say it was reminiscent of another series I like, The Roselind Thorne mysteries by Darcie Wilde, but love them both . I'm so happy to have found Katharine Schellman. I look forward to listening to the next book in the series.

Great story, angry narrator

I liked the story, but the narrator made all the characters sound so cold and angry all the time

Narration detracted from story

I really enjoyed this story and Lily’s character. But for some reason, the narrator did a poor job with the men’s voices. Some sounded almost the same, and the mail male character was downright painful to listen to at times. To me, he sounded like a robot. So unfortunately, this took a LOT away from an enjoyable mystery

Readers performance made this book come to life 

The reader’s performance brought out all the characters with energy and distinction. The characters were reasonably well drawn, and helped by the performance.

Good historical mystery

Good historical mystery - a great twist or two, great characters.
I loved Lily, her spunk and her stubbornness. And Captain Hartley is so dashing and charming! They make quite the pair - well-matched in both wits and wisdom. The mystery was very believable, and the characters went through all the right steps to solve the mystery (no one jumped to any baseless conclusions).
I felt like the plot moved a little slowly, but ultimately a good listen.
The accents were very well done - great narration.

I'm frantic for the next book.

Can't believe we have to wait until July for the next book! I'm so intrigued with this book - the style, the story, and the unique main character. I am interested in a potential love triangle developing, and I'm desperate for another fascinating, drawn out mystery.
