Shadows and Splendour

The Diamond of the Ton Regency Mysteries, Book 2

By: Anne Radcliffe, Lynn Morrison

Narrated by: Mary Jane Wells

A secret society. A shattered alliance. A love that defies fate.

After surviving war, betrayal, and an assassination attempt, Lord Peregrine Fitzroy has been pressed into service as a double agent—caught between the Queen and a shadowy organisation threatening to bring England to its knees. His only advantage? The sharp mind and shrewd instincts he once learned to hide from the ton.

Charity, Duchess Atholl, thought she'd sacrificed everything to save Peregrine's life. Instead, her bargain with the Queen has cost her his trust—and broken her own heart. Now forced to work together, the pair must navigate the treacherous corridors of court, where every whisper could mask a spy, and every smile could hide a traitor.

As a royal wedding draws near, scandals erupt, alliances shift, and a saboteur circles ever closer. But amid the splendour of the crown lies a web of lies and vengeance—and only Peregrine and Charity can stop it before it upends the future of England.

Great book!

Thoroughly captivating story - I kept wanting to find out what would happen next! Loved the espionage and the characters were so intriguing. The narrator was absolutely terrific!!!

Shadows and Splendor

These series are an excellent mix of intrigue and sweet romance. I really enjoy series where the characters and the storylines are intertwined to tell an epic tale with a happy ending, of coarse. I am also very picky about the narrator of a book. Mary Jane Wells is top on my short list of favorite narrators. Her main male and female character voices and all supporting characters voices are so distinct and consistent that you are totally absorbed into the story. I am anxiously awaiting the continuation of the series.
