Otherwise Engaged

by Amanda Quick

One does not expect to be kidnapped on a London street in broad daylight. Yet Amity Doncaster barely escapes with her life after meeting a man in a black silk mask who whispers the most vile taunts and threats into her ear. Her quick thinking, and her secret weapon, save her - for now.

But the monster known in the press as the Bridegroom has left a trail of female victims in his wake, and will soon be on his feet again. He is unwholesomely obsessed by Amity's scandalous connection to Benedict Stanbridge - and Benedict refuses to let this resourceful, daring woman suffer for her romantic link to him-as tenuous as it may be.

For a man and woman so skilled at disappearing, so at home in the exotic reaches of the globe, escape is always an option. But each intends to end the Bridegroom's reign of terror in the heart of the city they love, which means they must also face feelings neither of them can run away from. . . .

Another great murder/mystery

I'm a fan of listening to Amanda Quick's murder/mysteries. The characters are engaging, the storyline keeps me riveted from start to finish and the love story has depth and believability. Otherwise Engaged did have a very modern feel to it, with a heroine who is independent, strong and very savvy.

The narrator does a great job portraying all of the characters and I never struggled to tell when a character changed.

I will definitely be back for more from this author and I would happily listen to this narrator again.
