Download Too Hot to Handel: Another John Pickett Mystery AudioBook Free
When a allergy of jewel thefts attacks London, magistrate Patrick Colquhoun deploys his Bow Neighborhood Runners to put a stop to the offences. The Russian Princess Olga Fyodorovna is to wait a creation of Handel's Esther at Drury Lane Theatre, where she'll wear an impressive diamond necklace. The entire Bow Street force will be stationed at various locations surrounding the theatre - including John Pickett, who'll occupy a package immediately across from the princess. In order to preserve his incognito, Pickett must appear to be a private gentleman attending the theatre. Mr. Colquhoun recommends that he have a lady companion - a lady, in fact, who might prevent him from making any glaring faux pas. However the only girl of Pickett's acquaintance is Julia, Lady Fieldhurst, to whom he unintentionally contracted a Scottish unusual marriage several months before, and with whom he is seeking an annulment against his own inclinations - and then for whom he recklessly announced his love, secure in the notion he'd never see her again. The unavoidable awkwardness of the reunion is overlooked when the theatre catches fire. Inside the dilemma, the Russian gemstones are stolen, and Pickett is struck in the head and rendered unconscious. All of the sudden it is up to Julia not and then nurse him back to health, but to find his attacker and bring at fault - and the jewel thief - to justice.
