About This Audiobook

Lynn Messina’s *A Nefarious Engagement* is a delightfully twisty Regency-era cozy mystery where a disgraced spinster’s forced engagement to a duke becomes a game of deception. Beatrice Hyde Clare, a woman who’s long given up on marriage, finds herself swept into a scandalous plot involving stolen jewels, a scheming aunt, and a duke with secrets. Messina’s sharp dialogue and witty banter make this a standout in the genre, while Jill Smith’s narration brings the period to life with a perfect blend of warmth and wit. If you love historical mysteries with a dash of romance and a healthy dose of intrigue, this is your next binge.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I devoured *A Nefarious Engagement* in one sitting, and it’s not just because Jill Smith’s narration is a dream. Her voice work is impeccable—she captures the sharp wit of Beatrice and the brooding intensity of the duke with ease. The pacing is brisk, never dragging, and Messina’s dialogue crackles with period-appropriate charm. The mystery unfolds at a satisfying clip, with red herrings and a twist that’ll leave you gasping. The only critique? The secondary characters could use a bit more depth, but that’s a minor quibble. If you’re a fan of *Death Comes to Pemberley* or *The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries*, this is a must-listen. The audiobook’s production is crisp, and the pacing keeps you hooked until the very end.
