Beauty Like the Night

by Joanna Bourne Narrated by Kirsten Potter

Overview

Séverine de Cabrillac, orphan of the French revolution and sometime British intelligence agent, has tried to leave spying behind her. Now she devotes herself to investigating crimes in London and finding justice for the wrongly accused.



Raoul Deverney, an enigmatic half-Spaniard with enough secrets to earn even a spy's respect, is at her door demanding help. She's the only one who can find the killer of his long-estranged wife and rescue her missing twelve-year-old daughter.



Séverine reluctantly agrees to aid him, even though she knows the growing attraction between them makes it more than unwise. Their desperate search for the girl unleashes treason and murder . . . and offers a last chance for two strong, wounded people to find love.

From the Publisher - AUDIO COMMENTARY

"Potter delivers a splendid portrayal of a close-knit group of Napoleonic-era spies and the complicated world they inhabit." —AudioFile

NOVEMBER 2017 - AudioFile

A spy-turned-detective and a winemaker who moonlights as a jewel thief find love amid treachery. As narrator Kirsten Potter deftly conveys both the distrust and the smoldering desire between Séverine de Cabrillac and Raoul Deverney, their shared history is marred by the deceit and misconceptions that flourish during war. Potter skillfully develops the spark of mutual respect that ignites their slow burn, and the ultimate payoff is well worth the wait. Potter delivers a splendid portrayal of a close-knit group of Napoleonic-era spies and the complicated world they inhabit. This is the sixth book in the Spymaster series, and while it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone, loyal devotees of the series will be richly rewarded.
