Midnight on the River Grey

A Regency Mystery

By: Abigail Wilson

Narrated by: Laura Kirman

In this Gothic Regency romance Rebecca fears she has developed feelings for the man she swore to see hanged, her brother's murderer.

After her brother’s mysterious death, Rebecca Hunter vows to expose the man she believes responsible: Mr. Lewis Browning—known by the locals as the Midnight Devil and by Rebecca as her new guardian.

Summoned to his reclusive country estate to await her London season, Rebecca plans her own secret investigation among the darkened corridors of the mysterious Greybourne Hall. Yet Lewis Browning is not as she once imagined, and his motivation is horribly unclear. Recurrent nightmares and Rebecca’s restless feelings are further complicated by the shadow of her mother’s prior descent into madness and wondering if she, too, will follow the same heartbreaking path.

Even as midnight rides, strange injuries, and further murders lead back to Mr. Browning, Rebecca can’t ignore the subtle turn of her heart. Has she fallen for the man she swore would pay for her brother’s death? And moreover, can she trust him with her uncertain future?

Praise for Abigail Wilson:

“In the Shadow of Croft Towers is everything I love in a novel: a classic gothic feel, a regency setting, a mysterious hero . . . and secrets abounding!” —Dawn Crandall, award-winning author of the Everstone Chronicles series

“Shades of Gothic romance in a portrait of Regency England . . . if Jane Austen ever met Jane Eyre, it would be at Croft Towers!” —Kristy Cambron, author of Castle on the Rise, of In the Shadow of Croft Towers

"Blending the unputdownable Regency flair of Georgette Heyer with the intricate plotting of Julie Klassen, Wilson not only places herself competently amidst beloved authors but carves out a unique place of her own." —Rachel McMillan, author of the Van Buren and DeLuca Mysteries

"Beautifully written, suspenseful, and satisfyingly romantic." —Jennifer Beckstrand, author of Home on Huckleberry Hill

“Murder is far from no one’s thoughts in this delicious new romantic mystery from Abigail Wilson. With scandal dodging every turn of the page, mystery hiding behind the visage of each character, and a romance brewing with an English rake of the worse—and best—sorts, readers will find nothing lacking! I was entranced, mesmerized, addlepated, and not a little bit bewildered as I wandered the halls of Middlecrest Abbey.” —Jaime Jo Wright, author of the Christy Award–winning novel, The House on Foster Hill

Excellent heroine, great narration

A wonderful regency mystery/romance I couldn’t put down. The MC was an endearing character full of strength and courage. Beautiful narration. I couldn’t have picked a better voice talent to tell this story.

Another home run!

Abigail Wilson crafts an amazingly gripping story and Laura Kirman's narration is the icing on the cake. Great listen!

Intriguing mystery

It was a bit slow moving, but the plots unfolded well and the threads Wolf together neatly to complete the story

Complex Mystery, Some Romance

This story was filled with tons of speculations, musings, and thoughts about who killed her brother. She gradually gathers clues throughout the story, so it's an interesting journey. There is another murder and animal abuse, so the material feels heavy at times. The romance is slowww burn but very sweet as things finally come together. There is talk of the murder of an animal, so that also adds to the heavy content. There is balance in the main character's constantly curious nature, the slow romance, and a puppy. You just don't know who to trust throughout, and the ending was interestingly surprising. The narrator did awesome. Just overall a lengthy journey to discover the mystery and have things come to light.

Don’t hesitate – this is an amazing historical mystery and romance.

The story and underlying mystery was complex and amazing, the characters were beautifully drawn, and I loved every minute of it. The narrator was also wonderful.
