The first audiobook in a brand-new Victorian mystery series featuring steward Matthew Rowsley and housekeeper Mrs. Faulkner as an engaging detective duo. 

Newly appointed as land agent to the youthful Lord Croft, Matthew Rowsley finds plenty to keep him busy as he attends to his lordship's neglected country estate. But he's distracted from his tasks by the disappearance of a young housemaid. Has Maggie really eloped with a young man, as her mother attests - or is the truth rather more sinister? What's been going on behind the scenes at the grand country estate...and where has his lordship disappeared to? 

Teaming up with housekeeper Mrs. Faulkner to get to the bottom of the matter, Matthew uncovers a number of disturbing secrets, scandals, and simmering tensions within the household. Something rotten is going on at Thorncroft - and it's up to Matthew and Mrs. Faulkner to unearth the truth.

The main characters were extremely endearing, the plot was interesting and mysterious enough to keep me listening, and the narration was very good with a variety of voices. I see that there are several more books in this series, I hope the audiobooks come out too!

Very good historical mystery!

Great historical fiction listen. How Lords managed estates, staff and their own legal systems. Title apparently has its privileges. Loved the development of Matthew and Harriet. Looking forward to the next in the series!

The story is wonderful from beginning to end. Information regarding that particular point in history is woven into the storyline, making the story as a whole even more interesting. The information of life-below-stairs provided added layers. the narrator gave subtle changes for each character, making the story come alive.

Great Story and Excellent Narration
