Publisher's Summary:
A murder...a missing boy...a secret society's bold and deadly plot....
It is 1898, and Professor Concordia Wells has come to expect the hectic routine of classes, clubs, teas, and the inevitable student pranks at the women's college. If only she could avoid the cantankerous dean, Randolph Maynard, who has learned about her past experiences as a "lady sleuth." To Concordias dismay, he scrutinizes her every move for evidence of unseemly conduct.
The dean will certainly scowl over the lady professor's behavior when a disastrous turn of events affects those she loves. First, a mysterious woman claims that Concordia's young friend, the eleven-year-old Eli, is her long-lost child. Soon after, they find the woman murdered and the boy gone.
Lieutenant Capshaw is given the case, only to be abruptly replaced by a junior associate. An innocuous reassignment, or something more?
Concordia calls upon a former ally, Penelope Hamilton, for help. As they search for the child and untangle the mystery of his mother's death, Concordia realizes that not even her own colleagues are above suspicion. Not knowing whom at the school to trust as she attempts to sidestep Dean Maynard's continual scrutiny, she must tread carefully. Far more is at risk than the loved ones she seeks to protect, and there is no turning back.

Delightful historical mystery
Concordia does it again. She manages to get embroiled in quite an intrigue involving a garroted woman, a missing child, a secret society and politics. She cant just let it go when someone near and dear to her needs help. And thats what we love about Concordia. I read book one in this series but not book two, before delving into book three. I had no problem following the story or the relationships between the characters having missed the second book, but I would not recommend you read this without having read at least the first one. I suppose you *could* read it without the background knowledge of the characters, but it might not be quite as enjoyable. I recommend this to readers who enjoy historical mysteries featuring strong female leads.
Narrator Becket Royce, once again, does an very good job. I did have to turn the speed up to 1.25 in order to get the proper pacing for my taste, but she does a great job with the different voices, including the male characters. This audiobook is well worth the Audible credit and I think it would also be very enjoyable in print.

Great historical murder mystery
Where does Unseemly Ambition rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
I loved this book. The main character was a crack up and is inserting her independence in a time where women were still coming into their independence.
