Sybil, a gentlewoman who has to work for a living, finally finds employment as her rich uncle's house keeper. Nothing could be better: she would finally have an easy job in which she is treated well, and inherit her uncle's money after his death. But then she falls in love with the wrong man. When her uncle is poisoned, suspicion falls upon her. How would she be able to clear her name? What really happened to her uncle? This is a first rate murder mystery, for fans of Wilkie Collins. Yet it is also a story about love: family love, romantic love, and the love we bear for our community. - Summary by Stav Nisser. (19 hr 11 min)

My ninth book from ME Braddon and apart from The Doctors Wife which I didn’t finish, I think this is my least favourite so far because it takes too long to get to the point; the story is more about the lives of the upper class with their parties and horses and seeking rich husbands, and switches backwards and forwards from Alexis to Sybil and their lives: The last 10 chapters are the best and the novel could have been shorter; good readers with Judi mason being my favourite
Intriguing

I found this book irritating and intriguing at the same time. Some how it was difficult to find sympathy for the protagonists and the blatant materialism that enveloped almost every character. There were ineffectual traces of Tess and terrible racism. I would leave the book and then come back to it to learn what had happened to the characters. Finally complete and done with.

What a wonderful romance story. The author keeps you interested u till the end. I love Mary Elizabeth Braddon's books. Now days books not loaded with sex, violence, and swearing are my type of stories. Thank you lLibrevox

Long but very enjoyable listen. Majority of readers are good, but would have been better had there been a single narrator
