About this audiobook
Sarah Grand (1854-1943) was a well-known Victorian writer and suffragette.
'The Man in the Scented Coat' is a story about an adventurous lady, Josepha, who gets lost in a pea-soup fog in London one evening. As she cannot see anything, she follows a scent of flowers, which turns out to emanate from a distinguished gentleman in disguise who is on a secret mission. First they are caught up with a gang of ruffians, one of whom recognises the gentleman as being a member of the royal family (most likely the character is modelled on the then Prince of Wales).
Josepha follows the mystery gentleman and his companion to a secret apartment hidden in an upstairs flat behind a revolving bookcase, where she discovers the Prince's shameful secret. Josepha, a thoroughly modern woman, stops to dine, talk and smoke with the Prince...and then, with the threat of imminent discovery, the party must take an unusual escape route.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I think the narrator was difficult to listen to. The plot seemed rushed with little of the Sarah Grand from previous books
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Agreed with the other reviewer that this was a bizarre audiobook narration. That said, it was short. Short story by Sarah Grand. Will probably give her longer work a try one day.
