The 1920s most stylish sleuth returns in The Crystal Crypt for another thrilling murder mystery!

“But accidents can still happen… Perhaps there was something out of her control, something she couldn’t have foreseen…”

“Like someone plotting to kill her?”

Reporter sleuth Poppy Denby is asked to investigate the mysterious death of an up-and-coming female scientist in an Oxford laboratory known as the Crystal Crypt. The official verdict is that Dr June Leighton died in a tragic accident, but Dr Leighton's lab assistant believes it was murder. However, when Poppy discovers that the colleague has spent time in a mental institution and has an unresolved murder in her own past, Poppy wonders if she is being misled. But then, another female academic is attacked, and Poppy herself becomes a target.©2021 Fiona Veitch Smith (P)2021 W. F.

I’m really enjoying these audiobooks. I love the characters, the investigations, the period details and the narration.

A brilliant series

Still enjoying this series. A joyful story. Love the historical setting. Missing the authors comments at the back of the story. But really enjoy the storyline and gentleness of it. Delightful. Thank you to the author.

Fun again

It took the first couple of books in this series to get into the characters, but I am really sad now that the series has come to an end. The books are set in the 1920’s and Poppy finds herself in the midst of free living/loving relatives who encourage her to realise her dream of becoming a journalist.

With a mixture of a nose for a good story, excellent resources and support from her editor Poppy proceeds to solve crime as well as comment on the society pages.

If you’re into your cozy mysteries, this is for you.

Love the series

Great characters, love the period in which the stories are set with the nightmarish views a woman has to contend with to follow her dreams!

Thoroughly Good Listening!

What a shame this is the last Poppy Denby book- a series I have thoroughly enjoyed. I just don’t get why the publishers told the author Fiona there were to be no more - indeed why can’t audible step in & have the series continue in this format? As always fantastically read by Helen. A wonderful six books & the development of Poppy thru them has been great to witness. Up there with Posie Parker (who has 17 books thus far!) recommended

Farewell Poppy - you have been great
