'The body is in the library,' Colonel Osborne said. 'Come this way.'

Detective Inspector St John Strafford is called in from Dublin to investigate a murder at Ballyglass House - the Co. Wexford family seat of the aristocratic, secretive Osborne family.

Facing obstruction from all angles, Strafford carries on determinedly in his pursuit of the murderer. However, as the snow continues to fall over this ever-expanding mystery, the people of Ballyglass are equally determined to keep their secrets.

'A typically elegant country house mystery.' Guardian

A wonderful elegantly written and beautifully read novel. So atmospheric, beguiling tight cast of characters. Not sure had heard Stanley Townsend read audiobook before but I admire him as an actor and was not disappointed. Feel this had had care and attention given by the producer. The cover picture sums it up perfectly.

This s story started great all atmospheric in the winter snow in an old country house and I was absorbed till about three quarters of the way through and then the end let it down. There were lots of interesting characters it's a shame it ended with a fizzle and not a pop.

Beautifully narrated I could listen to his voice forever.

I would expect a book by John Banville to be well-written, which this is but he’s no Agatha Christie. There is a plot twist at the end, but much of it is predictable and the characters verge on charicatures of rural Ireland, Garda stock-types (drunken sergeant, lippy basic rank) and the Anglo-Irish family, from retired officer father down are straight out of central casting. It is read in a way that exaggerates the accents in a slightly distracting fashion.
However, I did enjoy it and finished it, which I can’t say of all fiction I consume these days.

Snowball shurely??

Interesting, character rich story, with good plot and the fantastic narration by Stanley Townsend, who can conjure any voice.

Good story

Although the plot was predictable , the book carried me along speedily to its conclusion.
I like listening to a bedtime story, but it was perhaps a little too gory for a perfect sleep inducing book.

quite entertaining
