About this listen
The 1920s' most stylish sleuth returns in The Crystal Crypt for another thrilling murder mystery.
Reporter sleuth Poppy Denby is asked to investigate the mysterious death of an up-and-coming female scientist in an Oxford laboratory known as the Crystal Crypt. The official verdict is that Dr June Leighton died in a tragic accident, but Dr Leighton's lab assistant believes it was murder. However, when Poppy discovers that the colleague has spent time in a mental institution and has an unresolved murder in her own past, Poppy wonders if she is being misled. Then, another female academic is attacked, and Poppy herself becomes a target.

A brilliant series
I’m really enjoying these audiobooks. I love the characters, the investigations, the period details and the narration.

Diversity and history
Loved these books. Live there is such diversity in characters. The historical context is really interesting and adds so much depth. Simple stories but gripping and thought provoking

Love the series
It took the first couple of books in this series to get into the characters, but I am really sad now that the series has come to an end. The books are set in the 1920’s and Poppy finds herself in the midst of free living/loving relatives who encourage her to realise her dream of becoming a journalist.
With a mixture of a nose for a good story, excellent resources and support from her editor Poppy proceeds to solve crime as well as comment on the society pages.
If you’re into your cozy mysteries, this is for you.

Great series
From the off the characters were engaging and the mood of the decade caught soo well, made all the more better by Helen Keely's brilliant reading. I shall miss Poppy Denby et all.

Farewell Poppy - you have been great
What a shame this is the last Poppy Denby book- a series I have thoroughly enjoyed. I just don’t get why the publishers told the author Fiona there were to be no more - indeed why can’t audible step in & have the series continue in this format? As always fantastically read by Helen. A wonderful six books & the development of Poppy thru them has been great to witness. Up there with Posie Parker (who has 17 books thus far!) recommended

Fun again
Still enjoying this series. A joyful story. Love the historical setting. Missing the authors comments at the back of the story. But really enjoy the storyline and gentleness of it. Delightful. Thank you to the author.

Exciting
I enjoyed this very much. I found the sexual discrimination from that era incredible! Thankfully we have come a long way due to strong women making their way through a man’s world.

Excellent escapism
Loved the different stories which were all excellently narrated. Strong plot lines backed up by detailed research made the hours I spent weeding & decorating fly.
