Brought to you by Penguin.

Dark secrets, an unexplained death and an old country house lie at the heart of Georgette Heyer's classic murder mystery.

The Priory may look ramshackle in appearance, but Peter, Margaret and Celia are totally charmed by their newly inherited country house.

But there's more to The Priory than meets the eye.

Left empty for years, hardly a single person has set foot inside, and down in the village, the locals whisper of a ghostly figure that roams the halls....

When a murder is committed, the new owners start to fear the rumours are true - but is their new home really haunted, or is someone trying to scare them away?

Unexpectedly good. The characters were interesting and well fleshed out. I hope Book 2 comes to audible.

Very enjoyable.

Full of footsteps in the dark, a masked monk up to no good, creaks and groans, and hidden identities. Lively characters, some funny dialogue, a bit of romance - an entertaining mix. Well read, too.

Lighthearted gothic

Georgette Heyer is an excellent storyteller and this narrator does a great job with each character. I was very entertained and impressed with the voices of each character being correct in tone and timbre.

The variety of characters and the narration are a perfect match!
