Publisher's summary

At a luxurious country wedding, the mother of the bride is found murdered and the groom caught red-handed, but who is really to blame?

When the Duchess of Hinwick is found dead on her daughter’s wedding day, renowned sleuth Lord Edgington must prove his grandson's innocence by discovering the real killer’s plot.

As he unravels the mystery of the murdered aristocrat, it becomes clear that even her own family are happy to see the back of her. With the bride’s ex-fiancé, a suspicious butler, and a plethora of plotting relatives among the suspects, how will the famous detective find the truth when just about everyone wanted the duplicitous woman dead?

A fast, funny and fabulous 1920s whodunnit filled with countless twists and surprises. “Blood on the Banisters” is an Agatha-Christie-style mystery with a cast of brilliant characters that will have you racing to the final chapter. Even if Lord Edgington can save the groom, will they get to the church on time or die trying?

The audiobook is narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows Vikings, Versailles, and the Oscar-winning film Les Misérables.

Imagine auditory ice cream!

I love this series very much. Mistletoe Hall was my most favorite of favorites until this book arrived. I really love this one. I've listened to it from start to finish 4 times so far and I doubt if I will stop anytime soon. I can't describe why, but the story just resonates with me more than the others. George Blagden is so perfect doing all the characters. All the other books were great, but I think this is Mr. Brown's best effort so far. It was a gruellingly long wait for it to arrive but I'm so happy it's here. If you like these kinds of stories ( 1920s cozy murder mysteries), you will really enjoy this audiobook!

Well worth waiting for!

While I have to admit that I figured out the killer quite early on, the twists and turns in the details, plus the growth of the main characters, kept me on the edge of my seat. The ending was a particularly good one in an interesting way.

Love the banter

The cohesiveness of the story. Never got lost or felt like I had to backtrack. Just like comfortable cousins

Growth and development of the characters stood out the most.

I particularly like how the author is allowing the young men to grow and develop instead of remaining stuck in their abilities and attitudes. The ending was not so much a surprise as it was gratifying. I also like the variety of the personalities in the newer characters in this book.

Great series

I love this series so much. The characters are delightfully quirky and entertaining and the mysteries keep me guessing. The fun facts at the end of each book are also a favorite and the narrator does a great job.

The fun continues

Lord Edgington and the entire cast of characters continue to evolve. While it is a formula based cozy, lots of interesting things are happening and as fans we want to know what happens next. The mystery is always entertaining and can be figured out if you pay attention to the clues. George Blagden is pitch perfect!

So fun

I’ve read all of this series and thoroughly enjoyed it but listening to this performance brings a whole new dimension to it and is so fun. I have to go back and listen to them all.

Not my favorite of the series

The family of the bride to be was so odd. The mother was mentally ill and so cruel that I couldn’t relate to her at all
It was difficult to listen to her and all that she did to her husband and children. I did like the twist at the end, though! I’ll miss “Chrissie” while I wait on the next book in the series to be available!
