About this listen

Arnold Landon can’t help but feel drawn to Oldham Manor, an atmospheric medieval house in the middle of nowhere.

When he is invited to catalogue the library there, he jumps at the chance. The place is a maze of musty old papers and books.

And that’s not all. Late one night, he stumbles on a secret passage, twisting deep under the ground. Where will it take him? And why was it walled up?

When a stranger turns up dead in a ditch, Landon begins to realize that someone is watching his every move. And they have a plan to ensure the past stays buried for good.

What did the victim know that was worth killing for?

I now find myself warming to the boring Arnold Landon, he’s certainly more interesting than the chief planning officer. Steven Crossley outstanding as usual.
Now for book 3 in the series. So glad not to have been put off by the poor reviews.

Very enjoyable

I would really recommend this serial. It’s well composed and with great insights into medieval construction and master crafts. Good plot and very well paced narration.

Great story and masterful description of medieval construction

I like the very understated, but deep thinking, down to earth soul that is Arnold Landon.. Historical facts to learn from an unusual, inquisitive man lacking in formal education but endowed with deep understanding of natural materials, and their place in beautiful buildings. Loving this series by Roy Lewis

Story.... a different slant on murder mysteries.
