The first in an exciting historical mystery series set in the home of Agatha Christie!

Tucked away among Devon's rolling green hills, Mallowan Hall combines the best of English tradition with the modern conveniences of 1930. Housekeeper Phyllida Bright, as efficient as she is personable, manages the large household with an iron fist in her very elegant glove. In one respect, however, Mallowan Hall stands far apart from other picturesque country houses...
The manor is home to archaeologist Max Mallowan and his famous wife, Agatha Christie. Phyllida is both loyal to and protective of the crime writer, who is as much friend as employer. An aficionado of detective fiction, Phyllida has yet to find a gentleman in real life half as fascinating as Mrs. Agatha's Belgian hero, Hercule Poirot. But though accustomed to murder and its methods as frequent topics of conversation, Phyllida is unprepared for the sight of a very real, very dead body on the library floor...
A former Army nurse, Phyllida reacts with practical common sense--and a great deal of curiosity. It soon becomes clear that the victim arrived at Mallowan Hall under false pretenses during a weekend party. Now, Phyllida not only has a houseful of demanding guests on her hands--along with a distracted, anxious staff--but hordes of reporters camping outside. When another dead body is discovered--this time, one of her housemaids--Phyllida decides to follow in M. Poirot's footsteps to determine which of the Mallowans' guests is the killer. With help from the village's handsome physician, Dr. Bhatt, Mr. Dobble, the butler, along with other household staff, Phyllida assembles the clues. Yet, she is all too aware that the killer must still be close at hand and poised to strike again. And only Phyllida's wits will prevent her own story from coming to an abrupt end...©2021 Colleen Gleason (P)2021 W. F.

The story was good and easy to listen to. It was spoilt in places by a few American phrases, which jarred in what was otherwise a very English setting.

Good story and narrator

Although the narrator was good, the writing was poor. After a couple of chapters I could tell the writer was American presenting to be English, she called a "car'an 'automobile', she used the awful word "gotten' unheard of in England until recently. She also described life at that time incorrectly saying people were not used to cars but still used horse drawn carriages, not so! The inconsistencies detracted from the story. Only write about things you are sure of. American English stands out like a sire thumb.

slow to get going. well read but not great writing.

There were some howlers. Devon Police call in Scotland Yard and the detectives are there in minutes? Shame making.
Please put in the effort and research the language of the period. Read Evelyn Waugh.

If only it were possible to travel from Scotland Yard to west Devon in a matter of minutes.
