About this listen

Summer flowers, warm sunshine, a maypole dance, and...is that another murder? A tricky case is afoot for Lady Swift!

Summer, 1921. Lady Eleanor Swift, the best amateur sleuth in the country, is delighted to be in charge of the prize-giving at her village summer fair. But the traditional homemade raft race takes a tragic turn when the local undertaker, Solemn Jon, turns up dead amongst the ducks. Jon was the life of any party and loved by the entire village. Surely this was simply an awful accident?

But when a spiteful obituary is printed in the local paper, Eleanor realizes there may be more to Jon’s death than first thought. Despite handsome Detective Seldon giving her strict instructions not to interfere, Eleanor owes it to Jon’s good name to root out the truth. So with her partner in crime, Gladstone the bulldog, Eleanor starts digging for clues....

When another local dies in a riding accident, the police refuse to believe he was murdered. But a second vindictive death notice convinces Eleanor of foul play. Solemn Jon’s assistant, a bullish banker and a majestic marquess make her suspect list, but it isn’t until she finds a dusty old photograph that she knows the true culprit behind both crimes. Then another obituary appears - her own! Can Eleanor nail the killer before she, too, turns up dead among the ducks?

An utterly compelling and charming cozy mystery! Pure delight for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey, and Lee Strauss.

Like all of the Verity Bright stories I have read / heard I really enjoy and will listen to them more than once. I listen while I clean house and bake meals. I find that they make my work fly by. I hope many more stories are coming.

I cannot get enough of these fabulous stories with excellent narration!

Clifford is so a great character. I do want Ellie and Hugh to get together though!

Loved it!

This installment was not as engrossing for me as the prior books. Lady Eleanor is as appealing as ever, but I didn't care as deeply about the murder plot or many of the supporting cast. It was just personal preference, as the writing is quite fine, as is the setting. The narration is superb.

Fine mystery, less enamoring than prior books

Very enjoyable. Mr. Clifford is a treat I'd love to have at my right hand. This is my introduction to this series. I'm looking forward to finding the previous two and anything that follows.

In love with a new (to me) series!

This story took too many turns for me. The story was long and so many new characters too follow.

Ok

Adventurous heiress, butler and bulldog—-love it! Not my favorite story in this series but always worth the read.

Love the series’ sleuth trio, not my fave story

Sadly I have realized there are only 10 books in this series. Which means this will end all to soon.

Captivating
