These Old Shades is read by Alexander Vlahos, star of Versailles.
Leonie Bonnard is being drawn into a twenty-year-old feud.
Justin Alastair, the Duke of Avon, is a reprehensible rake with an axe to grind. Decades ago the Comte de Saint-Vire did something unforgivable and ever since Justin has been lying in wait to settle the score.
When Justin meets Leon, a street urchin with a striking resemblance to his nemesis, he aims to use him as a pawn in his plans for revenge on the Comte. Except Leon is in fact Leonie, a beautiful young ingénue who may just steal Justin's heart.
Can Leonie win the Duke's affection, or will his need for revenge overcome them both?

I enjoyed the recording, although as others have said, it is a pity nobody taught the speaker even the basics of French pronunciation. His voice is not at all how I had imagined the Duke of Avon, but it made me think of Avon in a different, interesting way: younger, more playful, more effete in a Wildean kind of way. I liked that!
NOT politically correct, but -

And why do so many performers think they have to depict French characters by making them speak English with a very bad French accent - in situations where obviously everyone is speaking French???
I love the story but having to listen to so much bad French threw me constantly out of it.
Do learn French pronunciation, please!
