Synopsis
Davina Glentyre's happy young life in Edinburgh was shattered by her mother's death and made even more unbearable by her father's sudden marriage to her new governess. Her one joy was her friendship with a poor but charming student, Jamie, whom her father forbade her to wed. When her father suddenly died from arsenic poisoning, the means, motive, and opportunity all pointed to Davina herself. Alone, she escaped to the colonies in Africa. But with the Boer War came danger and the return of dark secrets from the past that threatened her reputation and her very life . . .

From AudioFile
Deceit, betrayal and murder are interwoven in this novel of late nineteenth-century Scotland. It contains complex characters, exotic settings and various subplots. Morag Hood's strong, quiet voice narrates the story through the perspective of the main character. She reads with a mild Scottish brogue, providing a touch of authenticity to the story. Her clear pronunciation and distinctive speech provide easy listening to the story, especially the long narrative parts. Characters are defined by the narrative text rather then by separate vocal characteristics. Hood provides a consistently entertaining reading. P.A.J. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
