About this listen

July 1910. Lady Hardcastle and her tireless sidekick Flo have finally embarked on a long-overdue seaside break. But just as they’re wavering between ice creams and donkey rides, their fellow guests start to go missing - and the duo find themselves with a hysterical hotel manager and a case to solve.

The first to disappear is Dr Goddard, a scientist doing something terribly top-secret for the government. Gone too are his strongbox and its mysterious contents. By the time Lady Hardcastle has questioned the horde of international guests, her number-one suspect has been dispatched in grisly circumstances - and then the others start vanishing too.

As the case begins to look like a matter of national security, Lady Hardcastle takes advice from her brother in the secret service. But could there be an even more personal connection at play? To solve the case, Lady Hardcastle may face a shocking discovery of her own.

Elizabeth Knoweldon is a master at conjuring the scene and the atmosphere of these books with her exceptional story telling skills. T E Kinsey's narrative is riotously hilarious and cunningly clever. Once you've listened to one you'll want to hear them all!

Riotously funny and superbly read.

Superb combination of Ms Knowlden’s performance and T E Kinsey’s splendid characters and plot. Thank you both and I hope you have more books planned. They will certainly be on my radar and pre-orders.

Excellent story of daring do

These books never fail to entertain and delight - they are beautifully tongue-in-cheek, well written, the dialogue is wonderful, and the narrator magically adds another layer of greatness to voicing the various characters.

I cannot recommend these books enough, and this one in particular is a glorious addition to the series.

I loved this one, I’ve read them all so far (devoured might be more accurate!) and this is by far the most entertaining and gripping one. Thoroughly enjoyable. I really loved the spy element and feel of this novel and really feel the characters are becoming far more 3 dimensional when this hasn’t always been the case.

I was on the edge of my seat until very near the end, yes I worked out the different mystery elements but this time I truly cared about what happened to the characters especially the leads.

After all isn’t that a mark of a truly great character? When the reader truly does care what happens to these people they have shaped and sent in the way to adventure!

Please keep writing more like this and no more like the only one I really didn’t get on with the very cliched and prosaic “A Picture of Murder”. I would highly recommend all of the other titles though and cannot wait for the next!

They Just get better and better!
