Death on the Sapphire

A Lady Frances Ffolkes Mystery, Book 1

By: R. J. Koreto

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

An extraordinary woman living in extraordinary times, Lady Frances Ffolkes is an Edwardian era suffragette who has an uncanny ability to attract danger and romance.

When Major Colcombe, a family friend and war veteran, dies under mysterious circumstances, the good lady discovers that he was working on a manuscript, about South Africa's bloody Boer War, that reportedly revealed a scandalous mistake that cost many innocent lives. Now it's up to Frances and her loyal lady's maid, June Mallow, to track down the missing manuscript and bring the killer to justice. Despite kerfuffles with Scotland Yard and the British secret service, Frances never backs down and finds herself in several very unfortunate positions - and one very fortunate love triangle.

Death on the Sapphire is R. J. Koreto's witty and winsome debut of a series that is sure to be a fan favorite for years to come.

Loved it

I enjoyed this book. I will listen to more in the series. I just love the narrator Justine Eyer. I’ve listened to many books read by her.

A surprising new find

I really enjoyed this mystery with two strong, female leads. I enjoyed the narrator. I look forward to other books in this series.

Good story, good naration

Liking this new series, especially the twist on the faithful butler, with, finally, a faithful, clever, resourceful lady's maid.

Death in the Sapphire

Excellent characters and mysterious turns and romance. Will read more of this series.
Good book

A very exciting book

The narrator makes this book. Her ability to capture the different personalities makes them come alive. I really didn’t know “who done it” until the end of the story.
Lady Francis and Mallow make a great team and I am looking forward to the next in this series.
