A majestic road trip across England filled with stunning landscapes, incredible sights, and the odd dead body along the way.

Lord Edgington and his grandson (along with a surprising number of servants) are going on a summer holiday. Setting off in their convoy of luxury cars, there are wonders to behold and mysteries to uncover. But when they arrive at the Lake District for a reunion with old friends, a tragedy from decades earlier hangs over the dilapidated Chandos Grove estate. After a member of the party is murdered, it will take the legendary investigator's every last wit to catch the killer and solve a mystery that has haunted him for fifty years.

Death on a Summer's Day is another funny and fast-moving 1920s murder mystery full of quirky characters and twisting plots. An Agatha Christie-style whodunit featuring a dash of Downton Abbey and a detective duo with heart and humor, the third book in the Lord Edgington Investigates… series will charm and surprise you from the very first minute.

Narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows Vikings and Versailles and the Oscar-winning film Les Misérables.

Another great mystery with old friends, making the grandfather and grandson team struggle to get the truth out of them as they all know each other so well even though it was a long time ago. With many false leads an other murder and attempted murder they finally get to the conclusion. Brilliantly being the story alive again was George Bkagden.

This feels to me like a cross between Jennings, Midsommer Murders and GK Chesterton. it's entertaining, not mawkish and deals nicely with inter generational relationships.

It isn't Nobel prize literature but it is very entertaining.

Jolly good romp, nicely read

I did find this story a little convoluted, though George Blagden does another great job of bringing the characters to life. I really admire the actors who can provide so many different voices. More please and soon!

Good, if a little convoluted

Another outing for our young ‘ detective in training ‘ and his unique Grandfather Lord Edgington .
Well worth the wait 😊 Enjoyable Murder/mystery romp with great characters. ( some very eccentric!)
Interesting mystery to solve , red herrings aplenty , young romance and deadly secrets . All VERY satisfying.

Loved it !

I think that a few reviewers have said that this is the typical Lord Edgerton and Christopher tale, but I really can’t agree on that.

It’s not a lighthearted, jolly story. The only truly humorous scene in it was their day at Great Yarmouth (sidebar: Great Yarmouth has a literary reputation of being hilarious for me - See Notes From A Small Island, Bill Bryson. Hilarious)!

Other than that, it’s a sober walk down memory lane for his lordship and it’s a horrible trip back. Christopher is getting a little bit more assertive (in his own timid way) and his narrative is as we expect.

I did enjoy this story, it’s another aspect of Lord E that we haven’t seen before, which serves to give us some background to his childhood and adolescence. It is obvious that there will be further adventures which will further enlighten his young adulthood and career. I look forward to those.

Engrossing and the author’s notes at the end are very interesting and informative.

A Sober Walk Down Memory Lane.
