A grand house in the country, three rival sisters, and a dead man in the garden… It sounds like a case for Lord Edgington.
On a trip to meet a family of well-known authors in the English countryside, Lord Edgington of Cranley Hall (along with his well-meaning grandson and their very loyal golden retriever) is faced with the puzzling case of an elderly man thrown from a window, a life-long rivalry and a death foretold in mystery writer’s novel. Will the famous sleuth be able to solve the mystery before it's time for tea?
A Novel Way to Kill is a novella-length mystery from the “Lord Edgington Investigates…” series of 1920s whodunits. It is a standalone story and can be read at any point in the series but comes between the seventh and eighth novels chronologically.
The Lord Edgington Investigates... audiobooks are narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows, Vikings, Versailles, and the Oscar-winning film of Les Miserables.

Intriguing if a bit predictable. Chrissy is now 18 and starting to internalise his grandfather's teachings even as much of the humour in the book comes from his not understanding the grownups' behaviours. I was quite disappointed by the About this book part as it was far too short. It is usually one of my favourite parts of Benedict's books. George Blagden was excellent as always though there wasn't nearly enough singing 😉
