About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Second to none in her ability to make detective stories, Georgette Heyer is queen of the genre.

Slumped on a seat under an oak tree is old Sampson Warrenby, with a bullet through his brain. He is discovered by his anxious niece, Mavis, who is just one of the 10 people in the village in the running for chief suspect, having just cause to dislike Warrenby intensely. Only Chief Inspector Hemingway can uncover which of the 10 has turned hatred into murder.

Very good voice acting, immersive and the reader conveyed the subtleties of the dialogue that Heyer is so well known for.

Such a great listen, with a bit of nostalgia.

Excellent story and narrator. Twisty plot and lots of enjoyable characters in this book.

Excellent Narrator

Not as witty as Heyer’s No Wind of Blame but with lots to love. The narration made it a pleasurable listen.

Wonderful narration

The story and narrator on this book are great. A traditional English cosy mystery, written and set in the early 1950s. Charming characters, and a clever solution. Unfortunately, there is a bit towards the end of one of the chapters where it has been recorded wrongly, and 2 versions of the story play over each other simultaneously.

Audible has ignored my email containing the information that they requested about the issue, so as several weeks have passed, I’m assuming that they have no intention of either fixing the problem or giving me back the credit that I spent on this book. So, I would not buy this one for the time being. If they do fix it, I will update this review.

Shame about the faulty audio
