About this listen

Who killed Lord Inverkillen? Lockdown meets Downton Abbey in this playful, humorous mystery set in 1930s Scotland.

No one in. No one out.

Family can be murder....

It's the 1930s, and a mysterious illness is spreading over Scotland. But the noble and ancient family of Inverkillen, residents of Loch Down Abbey, are much more concerned with dwindling toilet roll supplies and who will look after the children now that Nanny has regretfully (and most inconveniently) departed this life.

Then Lord Inverkillen, earl and head of the family, is found dead in mysterious circumstances. The inspector declares it an accident but Mrs MacBain, the head housekeeper, isn't so convinced. As no one is allowed in or out because of the illness, the residents of the house - both upstairs and downstairs - are the only suspects. With the earl's own family too busy doing what can only be described as nothing, she decides to do some digging - in between chores, of course - and in doing so uncovers a whole host of long-hidden secrets, lies and betrayals that will alter the dynamics of the household for ever.

Perfect for fans of Downton Abbey, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club, Loch Down Abbey is a playful, humorous mystery that will keep you guessing!

Hope the author writes more

Fell across this as I love the narrators style so was looking for more of her work. Brilliant first novel by the author- really hope she writes more. If you love a period drama and a mystery you will love it

Dreary

This was a mixed up load of nonsense. It was so drawn out and dreary. It may have been more bearable if the narrator wasn't so awful.

Totally ridiculous and badly narrated

Do not waste your money on this ridiculous story and the narration is awful. She can’t even pronounce marquis says he is a marquee!
