Publisher's summary

A medieval house, a dead body, and some rather suspicious chocolate fudge? Call for Lady Swift!

Autumn, 1920. Lady Eleanor Swift, accidental amateur detective and retired explorer, is determined to take a break from investigating murders. So when a local politician dies suddenly at an elegant dinner party at Farrington Manor, she tries her hardest not to listen to the raft of rumors around the village that he might have been poisoned by the fudge. It’s the anniversary of the disappearance of her beloved parents, and she’s promised herself not to get mixed up with any more mysteries. She isn’t sure they’d have approved.

But when she arrives home to discover that Mrs. Pitkin, the kindly cook from Farrington Manor, has been dismissed without wage or reference because the police consider her a suspect, Eleanor knows she needs to act. If there was a murder, then she needs to track down the culprit and clear Mrs. Pitkin’s name.

Accompanied by her faithful partner in crime, Gladstone the bulldog, who has the best nose for sniffing out bones in the country, Eleanor sets out to find the killer. And when another body turns up and she finds poisoned fudge in the victim’s house, Eleanor knows she’s on the right track. But can she sort the truth from the lies before she becomes a witness to another murder - this time rather closer to home?

An utterly charming cozy mystery! Warm and witty, fans of Agatha Christie, TE Kinsey, and LB Hathaway will be totally hooked.

Some More Trouble

Lady Eleanor and her non-assuming sidekick, Clifford always find themselves in murder trouble. Now she running for office and, of course, she is one of the suspects. Well, that's par for the course for Eleanor. I really enjoy this series and will continue on to see how much mischief she can get into next. Listened on Audible and Karen Cass did a fabulous job bringing this story to life.

Another adventure for Ellie and Clifford!

I enjoy this series and I plan to listen to them all! I love the relationship Ellie has with her butler, Clifford. I noticed in the reviews of this book, that others feel the way that I do about Lancelot. It's time for him to go. Ellie seems to have so much growing up to do that I can't really imagine her traveling the world on a bicycle. Since no stories of that time in her life have been told, it becomes even more difficult to imagine. She is a widow, not a sheltered young woman, so it's odd to me that she is attracted to such an immature man. I can see where things may be heading, and I have difficulty with that, as well. Hopefully the author will take into consideration that during the early 1900's in England, the class difference between a Lady and a policeman would have made a relationship all but impossible. (I did read a cute series where a Lady did wed a policeman for love, and she paid the price of living on his wages. But... they were in love.) I'm looking forward to the next seven books that are already written!

Great story

I loved this book & it was narrated perfectly. Great book! The combination of author, story, narrator & impersonations are a great start for any audible book!

Terrific!

The main characters continue to develop and the new characters are also well done. There is a formula to each of the mysteries but the characters are like my new friends. I can’t get enough.
