About this listen

George Furnace, flight instructor at Baston Aero Club, dies instantly when his plane crashes into the English countryside. People who knew him are baffled - Furnace was a first-rate pilot, and the plane was in perfect condition - and the inquest records a verdict of death by misadventure.

An Australian visitor to the aero club, Edwin Marriott, Bishop of Cootamundra, suspects that the true story is more complicated. Could this be a dramatic suicide - or even murder? Together with Inspector Bray of Scotland Yard, the intrepid bishop must uncover a cunning criminal scheme.

I will try and get my hands on the rest of the author's mysteries. So clever and entertaining. Perfect and well crafted. I sincerely hope more of them can be obtained through Audible. This felt more like a radio play as I believe there were multiple performers. Delightfully done. Can't recommend it enough.

So well written and performed
