Summary

Late October 1909, and the season of ghouls and things that go bump in the night has descended on the village of Littleton Cotterell.

Lady Hardcastle and her trusted lady’s maid, Florence, find themselves hosting a colorful cast of actors whose spooky moving picture, The Witch’s Downfall, is being shown to mark Halloween. But things take a macabre turn when the first night’s screening ends with a mysterious murder, and the second night with another.... One by one the actors turn up dead in ways that eerily echo their film.

With the police left scratching their heads, Lady Hardcastle calls upon her amateur sleuthing skills to launch an investigation, with Flo’s able assistance. Surrounded by suspects both human and supernatural, Lady Hardcastle must use a little trickery of her own to unmask the murderer.

A Picture of Murder

This is another crazy mystery brought down on Lady Hardcastel and Flow, after a lot of what seems to be mindless murders they are able to work out what is going on. Really funny and entertaining, read brilliantly again by Elizabeth Knowelden.

Excellent as always

Brilliant story, beautifully read by Elizabeth Knowelden. Great storyline, very clever. The clues came together gradually and with the usual wit and banter from Lady Hardcastle and Florence Armstrong, her trusty ladies maid. The dynamic duo never fail to entertain whilst also getting the job done. Fabulous.

Enjoyable story, superb narration

Elizabeth Knowelden does an excellent job narrating the Lady Hardcastle's series. These are cosy, witty, light hearted murder mysteries set in rural England. A most pleasant way to pass the time.

Entertaining continuation of the series

Another nicely-performed entertaining "cosy" mystery story set in 1909, with a colourful cast of characters. Interesting mystery at the heart of the story and some nice details about life in a small rural village at the time. A bit of foreshadowing of some threat from their past which no doubt will be developed in due course, as well as of a possible romantic interest for Florence!

Great fun

Once again a most enjoyable story from TE Kinsey. Fun characters, nice details and more back story revealed about Lady Emma and Flo with the promise of more to come. I didn’t guess the guilty party (sorry for the bad English but I don’t want to give anything away) until near the end this time. I would highly recommend these books for easy and entertaining listening. The performance is delightful too, even though there were some slightly annoying mispronunciations (such as ‘Cheatham’ with a soft ‘th’ in the middle) but overall it was great.
