About this listen

A hunter stalks the wild, wooded grounds of the Kilgour Estates. But what—or who—is his quarry?

A haughty professor comes calling on Arnold Landon for research assistance. But he’s overlooked an important fact. Landon already has a job at the council—along with a raft of superiors who’d rather he focused on the dispute at hand.

Namely, who is the rightful owner of the Kilgour Estates? And the opulent manor house in the grounds? Dashing rake Patrick Yates insists it’s all his. But a black sheep in the family returns to claim otherwise. Who is telling the truth?

While Landon’s still grappling with the complexities of the case, Yates turns up dead—an ancient arrow planted firmly in his chest. And Landon realizes his search for answers is leading him down a dangerous path indeed.

Very entertaining listen. Beautifully narrated, skilled writing and an audible joy.
The ‘boring’ main character is really interesting and I’m looking forward to the next in the series

Another great book in the series

Like most of Roy Lewis's books, "Murder in the Stableyard" spends a lot of time setting up the story and examining the land dispute at the heart of the book in detail. The murder itself happens quite late in the book - for a murder mystery. I understand some readers might find Lewis's pacing too slow, but I really enjoy this detailed setup full of fascinating historical facts and hilarious descriptions of the Senior Planning Officer's ridiculous behaviour.

Just wonderful.
