Vienna Waltz by Teresa Grant
Narrated by Derek Perkins Vienna Waltz is a real treat for fans of meaty, intricately plotted and well-researched historical fiction. Set during the Congress of Vienna in 1814, when the ambassadors from the major powers in Europe – Britain, Austria, Prussia,…
The Mark of the Midnight Manzanilla by Lauren Willig
