Publisher's summary

July 1910. Lady Hardcastle and her tireless sidekick Flo have finally embarked on a long-overdue seaside break. But just as they’re wavering between ice creams and donkey rides, their fellow guests start to go missing - and the duo find themselves with a hysterical hotel manager and a case to solve.

The first to disappear is Dr Goddard, a scientist doing something terribly top-secret for the government. Gone too are his strongbox and its mysterious contents. By the time Lady Hardcastle has questioned the horde of international guests, her number-one suspect has been dispatched in grisly circumstances - and then the others start vanishing too.

As the case begins to look like a matter of national security, Lady Hardcastle takes advice from her brother in the secret service. But could there be an even more personal connection at play? To solve the case, Lady Hardcastle may face a shocking discovery of her own.

So much for their holiday!

We should know by now Lady Hardcastle and Flo will always end up in the middle of mayhem. Another delightful entry in the series! Elizabeth Knowelden does another fantastic job bringing these characters to life. Can't wait for book 7!

Engaging storyline

Death by the Seaside is as charming as all are in the series. The witty banter flies faster than the bullets.
I particularly like this plot line because we hear details about their former escapades... how it began.
The characters have been fleshed out so much so, you get lulled into their relationships.

5 BIG STARS!

I absolutely love 💘 this series. Lady Hardcastle is hysterical and the narrator does her "voice" to perfection. She has become a living, breathing person to me and often has me in stitches. My Husband just shakes his head. He says he can tell I'm listening to a Lady Hardcastle novel from the shrieking laughter coming from the bedroom.
Honorable mention to Flo who plays the straight man in the series.
The plot in this book was the best yet. It had me guessing to the very end.
Get this series. You won't regret it.

An adventure

Vibrant characters, story, and joyous dialogue. An adventure in Dickensian lines and times

The Best One Yet

Lady H and Flo are at it again and Elizabeth Knowelden is as amazing as ever. A great story told by a wonderful narrator. EK is so much fun to listen to. I listen to this series over and over again. If you have never read/listened to these books before start with the first and you will be hooked! Just like the rest of us. ;-)

Probably my favorite series of the genre.

Incredibly well written, superbly performed. Love the interspersed comedy. I can’t wait for the next one.

The best Lady Hardcastle mystery yet

A thoroughly enjoyable story—great fun, as all these mysteries are, and this one keeps you guessing till the end. As well written as the books are, it is Elizabeth Knowelden’s brilliant narration that makes me wish I could give it six stars. She is amazing.

Love Lady Hardcastle and Florence Armstrong!

Another fun mystery & adventure! Love Emily & Flo :)) I appreciate the details and great characters, plot etc in all these stories/books. The narration is also excellent! Great character voices without being over the top and the male voices by the female narrator are very good. (Sometimes narration of the opposite gender can be awkward or sound strange/odd - EK does very well with all the characters voices - sounding natural and unforced.) Highly recommend this series and I look forward to the next installment! 👍😀
