Lord Edgington Investigates...

The Crimes of Clearwell Castle : A 1920s Mystery

A string of murders, an ancient curse and a castle full of secrets. England, 1926. When esteemed detective Lord Edgington and his novice grandson Christopher plan a trip to the beautiful Forest of Dean, they hope for nothing more than a relaxing weekend with old friends. What they discover among the dark halls and secret passageways of Clearwell Castle is a centuries-old injustice and a rivalry that has ripped the area apart.

After two apparently unconnected villagers are murdered, Lord Edgington must pick the killer from a parade of cheery locals, cagey aristocrats and their sworn rivals. The only certainty is that every last suspect has something to hide. With talk of a ghost walking the castle and a curse that goes back generations, it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary murder investigation.

Lord Edgington's most thrilling and unusual mystery yet is packed with gothic intrigue and a labyrinthine plot that will keep you guessing until the final chapter. The Crimes of Clearwell Castle is an Agatha-Christie-style whodunit with a cast of unique characters and a loyal golden retriever along for the ride. Will the beloved detectives solve the case before there's anyone left in the village to bump off? Or will you spot the killer before they do?

The audiobooks in this series are narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows, Vikings, Versailles, and the Oscar winning-film of Les Miserables.

I love this series. They're charming, well-crafted and well researched. The author paints a lovely picture with lots of elements of food, music, language and clothing. The narrator keeps the characters alive in my mind even when I'm not listening but going about my life. Highly recommend.

Så bra bok och uppläsare. Intressant när man berättar om historien och researchen som författaren gör. Läser gärna fler böcker av samma författare.
