Lady Violet Pays a Call

The Lady Violet Mysteries, Book 7

By: Grace Burrowes

Narrated by: Kirsten Potter

While Lady Violet Belmaine is busy sorting out the odd turns her life has recently taken, Hugh St. Sevier repairs to his Kent estate in hopes of embarking on the placid life of a rural physician. Alas, for St. Sevier, the village of St. Ivo has more secrets than it has pots of heartease, and the good doctor will once again find himself the target of rumors and threats.

Somebody is rigging St. Ivo’s hound races, setting neighbor against neighbor, and turning what should be a friendly entertainment into an occasion for brawling. As an expert on medicinal herbs and soporifics, St. Sevier comes under suspicion. St. Ivo badly needs a physician, and the village also needs somebody to unravel the intrigues that are tearing it apart. St. Sevier can’t get to the bottom of the mystery on his own, but help—in the persons of Lady Violet and Sebastian MacHeath—is on the way!

A great cast of characters

Pleasantly surprised to find that this book was told mainly by Hue and Ann. At this point, they’re integral to Lady Violet’s world. It was great to get more details into Hue and Ann’s past.
Love the way Grace Burrowes has created such a wonderful bunch of characters. She’s given herself so much to work with, using Violet’s large family and now the villagers of St. Ivo. Hoping we will get more stories from these folks.
Kirsten potter does an amazing job of voicing Hue, Violet, Ann and Sebastian in all of their various accents. Bravo!!!

Not as Good as previous on series

I missed Lady Violet being the lead protagonist. The narrator kept changing Anne's Scottish accent so half the time she sounded very American.

One of the best series ever!!

After reading the first chapter of book one, I was hooked. I read book one through seven and realized that book 8 was not on Audiobook. My heart sank as my eyes get so tired after working on a computer all day. I will get book 8 and read it on my kindle just because I have to know! Lady Violet you are one of my favorite characters of all time and Grace Burrowes you are incredibly talented.

A GREAT BEGINNING OF THE END

Glad the author has elected to write separate stories after life-altering experiences change the direction of Hugh and Violet's futures. Hugh is obviously a major part of this series. To overlook the separation and its effect would seem careless. Love this narrator.. Very effective characterizations. Can't wait for final Book 8. Hope it will be audible soon.

Loved

I loved this book could not stop listening had me wanting to know what was going to happen next through out the entire book.
