About this listen

Murder, Mystery and a dog of distinction

Book 8 in the Heathcliff Lennox series.

Major Heathcliff Lennox is called in, along with ex Detective Inspector Swift, to help the police investigate a macabre death. The dead man is Lord De Ruyter, a man inextricably linked to the notorious Birdcage Murders.

Nothing is as it appears, witnesses to De Ruyter's murder are not the strangers they purport to be, everyone present had a reason to be there and it all relates to the Birdcage Murders.

Major Heathcliff Lennox—ex WW1 war pilot, 6' 3", tousled dark blond hair, age around 30—named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother—much to his great annoyance.

This the best of the Heathcliff Lennox series so far. Ms. Menuhin is becoming a modern Agatha Christie.

Best one yet

I love this series.The characters are fun and easy to like. This book, however, seemed it bit too talking heads to me, not much action and too few locations to keep the mystery interesting all the time. Still, it had a great twist at the end and I look forward to the next adventures of Major Lenox and company.

Mostly Talking Heads This Time

I’ve enjoyed all the books thus far. Intricate plots, delightful characters and complicated story lines make me long for one more book. What’s next for Lennox and Swift? Sam Dewhurst-Phillips gives a wonderful performance again.

Sam Dewhurst Phillips is a marvel in his own right bringing the characters to life, idiosyncrasies and all. I think this is displayed best with the friendship that has developed between Swift and Lennox. They love, hate and above all respect each other as only the best of friends can. It is one of the most entertaining aspects of the book. The story itself, like all of the others in the series, is fantastic. This author could teach the late, great Agatha Christie a thing or two. She devises a complex mystery that in no way betrays the murderer, while describing scenes of English countryside, English men's clubs and the city of London in a way that simply unfolds in your imagination to the point that the reader can practically smell the roses in the gardens and the mix of fowl odors of the pubs. It is, all in one, both an imaginary an intellectual delight from beginning to end. Once you read the first book in the series, you are enchantingly hooked and simply can't wait for the next book to come out. You, too, will agree, it is the best series on all of Audible, by far!

Best series on all of Audible, by far!
