Summary

A large country mansion. A locked room. A gruesome murder.

Russian oligarch Alexander Volkov has invited 1,000 guests to a party at his palatial Surrey residence, Westgrave Hall. But while giving a private tour of the library, a gunman kills Volkov, wounding his ex-wife and slaying her new beau. Nothing makes sense to DCI Craig Gillard. In the blood-spattered crime scene there are no forensic traces of anyone else involved, CCTV shows no one entered or left the library, and everyone seems to have an alibi. Is it a crime of revenge, the squaring of a love triangle, or a Russian government operation? Could the victims have simply shot each other? Gillard’s eventual discovery is shocking even to him.

A gripping crime thriller from a master of the genre, The Bodies at Westgrave Hall will leave you guessing until the very end.

Really enjoyable listen

Great series from Nick Louth. Maybe this one is a little bit far fetched as some have said, but personally I just loved it.

lacking punch

I've listened to all of Nick Louth's books narrated by Marston York. His South London and Russian accents were a little annoying after a while, and when the characters should have been shouting, the narrator's tone didn't change.
Overall the story was good but lacked punch.

Twists and turns

Yet another fantastic listen, the pace and story are perfect. The twists and turns in the plot are sublime in my opinion.
Can't wait to listen to the next book.

Superb listen

I'll never forget oligarchs as long as I live! The storyline is a masterpiece, with lots of twists. Once I started this book I couldn't stop listening. A highly recommended book, very well narrated.

A very gripping audio book.

It was a complex plot but the author carried me as the listener on the journey. The end was not one I was anticipating. Brilliant.
