Summary

Anty Boisjoly is back to fill the gap that overlaps between Ruth Rendell and P. G. Wodehouse, and where Jerome K. Jerome meets Dorothy L. Sayers.

The Tale of the Tenpenny Tontine is another mystifying manor-house stumper for Wodehousian bon-vivant and problem-solver Anty Boisjoly, when his clubmate asks him to determine who died first after a duel is fought in a locked room. The untold riches of the Tenpenny Tontine are in the balance, but the stakes only get higher when Anty determines that, duel or not, this was a case of murder.

Another great story

Another thoroughly enjoyable tale expertly narrated what's not to like. Give it a go if you like Woodhouse and Christie

SPIFFING!

I seem to find myself saying "Wot ho old bean" rather a lot these days. Thoroughly enjoyed this little gem. Jolly well enjoyed it more than the first two. But saying that, I dashingly enjoyed them all so far! Absolutely loved the twists & turns. 'Lucifer' is a wonderful added bonus for us mad dog ladies 😂😂 Highly recommend.

Can’t get enough of these

Well read, well written, funny as well as clever. Long live Anty and his valet not forgetting Ivor.

Jolly good story that’s wheels along at a great pace.

Another very entertaining & fun story with an array of characters as well as our reliable sleuths. A great listen that lifts the spirits with a couple of jolly murders thrown in.

Good Narration.

I'm really liking this series. It reminds me of Lord Peter Wimsey from the Dorothy L Sayers books , era and character etc.
Good cosy mystery.

Humour and lack of cliches

This guy is wasted ghosting other peoples books. Publishers give the guy an advance he can live on so we can go on laughing. TV producers get onboard, stop making endless revivals of dead authors, PJ will give you a string of hits. It would need a narrators voice over the action because half the joy is in the word play and inner dialogue.

Great Yarn

A good fashioned tale with lots of long winded tales, gentle humour and a good twist at the end.

Such a fun series.

The Anty Boisjoly series continues with another light, hilarious and Wodehousian mystery full of twists, turns and absurdities. Very enjoyable.

PJ Fitzsimmons just gets better with each book

Suitably convoluted plot strewn with characters who are in turn prickly, supercilious, endearing and just plain rude. But what makes it is the fabulous use of English which is laugh out loud funny in places.
