About this listen

 She kept her gaze fixed out of the window, towards the village and Withington Hall beyond. 'It's perfect,' she said...

September 1920.

A young bride is discovered dead at a country house on her wedding day. Has she fallen victim to the deadly Withington curse, which strikes down any woman who marries into the family?

Forensic Pathologist Dr Bernard Spilsbury doesn't believe in such superstitions, and suspects a more earthly reason for Theodora Tupper's death.

But as he and his trusty assistant Violet investigate, they soon discover that there are indeed ghosts at Withington Hall. And they, too, have a story to tell...©2024 D.L. Douglas (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited Genre Fiction Historical Mystery Thriller & Suspense Urban

The narrator did a good job trying to bring some life to this rather stodgy tale. Only the PC was likeable. All the other characters were either stupid or supercillious. Lots of twists and turns, but I really didn't care who'd done it by the time the killer was revealed.

OK mystery about rather unpleasant people

As with the last one, perfect, story, characters, narration, all of these are so good

Excellent

This is a good story with enough going on and enough red herrings. There are clues all through the story so it is possible to guess the murderer but it's not obvious.

Solid story

Sympathetic to the time it reflects. Well crafted. Interesting take on Sir Bernard Spilsbury, a real pathologist responsible for cases such as Crippen, Major Amstrong and many more.

Narration was excellent. Thank you Mr Telfer
