In the newest mystery from the national bestselling author of Where the Dead Lie, a brutal murder draws Sebastian St. Cyr into the web of the royal court, where intrigue abounds and betrayal awaits. London, 1814. As a cruel winter holds the city in its icy grip, the bloody body of a beautiful young musician is found half-buried in a snowdrift. Jane Ambrose's ties to Princess Charlotte, the only child of the Prince Regent and heir presumptive to the throne, panic the palace, which moves quickly to shut down any investigation into the death of the talented pianist. But Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, and his wife Hero refuse to allow Jane's murderer to escape justice. Untangling the secrets of Jane's world leads Sebastian into a maze of dangerous treachery where each player has his or her own unsavory agenda and no one can be trusted. As the Thames freezes over and the people of London pour onto the ice for a Frost Fair, Sebastian and Hero find their investigation circling back to the palace and building to a chilling crescendo of deceit and death . . .

"I love CS Harris' work. I find her rendition of the 1800's England most interesting, and her level of research is evident in the manner in which she describes the environments and characters, to name a few.
I enjoy the feeling of being taken on a mystery tour along with Sebastian and Hero, and find myself enjoying learning about the actual history of the time period.
It is shocking how much of this story (Why Kill the Innocent) is actually true - I don't want to spoil it for potential readers. Having said that, I recommend any and all of Ms Harris' novels for an exciting adventure and neatly tied up "loose strings" of the tale.
Since I've just finished listening to this audiobook, I have downloaded the first few of the Sebastian St Cyr mysteries and am listening to book 1 as I'm typing. :)"
