About this listen

It’s Christmas, and James and Beth are preparing for Harrington’s festive dinner and dance. This year, famous diva Olivia Dupre is singing; a wedding is taking place, and they’re hosting a reunion of PALs - ex-army comrades from the Great War. When Olivia falls ill and claims she’s been poisoned, James puts his sleuthing hat on. But things take a sinister turn when a further attack takes place.

What secret is Major Carlton hiding? Who is writing evil poison-pen letters? What relevance does the discarded diary have? Join James and the Cavendish regulars as he battles to solve the crime and bring a ruthless killer to justice.

Good story, well read

I do like these books by Lynn Florkiewicz. They are easy to read with no gratuitous sex and violence. A lovely way to spend a few hours. They are reasonably well read by David Thorpe too. I would definitely recommend them.

Another Intriguing Mystery

I’m now completely hooked on Lord Harrington , the village life and unusual ‘ goings on ‘ aplenty !
I enjoy books with characters to get to know , mysteries to solve and a complete lack of
bad language , gore and sex scenes …….so I’m very happy with this pleasant but never dull series !

Good story, poor characterisation

Although the plot was a thoughtful one, it never really got going. The characters are so thinly drawn that I didn't grow to like or sympathise with any of them. The narrator did a great job though to inject some life into them.

Too many characters

Very difficult to keep track of them all. And the end was too strung out.

Disappointing

I listened to most of it but lost interest to the extent that I didn't find out "who done it". I didn't get a sense of each of the many characters and could not visualise any of them. The narrator was most convincing when quoting speech but otherwise I found his style irritating. I decided that he paused at the end of each sentence making the story sound like a news item to ne.
