Publisher's summary

An English Christmas has mince pies, cheerful carols, a twinkling tree…and a murder? Thank goodness Lady Swift is on the scene!

Winter, 1920. Amateur sleuth Lady Eleanor Swift is feeling festive. She is playing host to the entire village at Henley Hall for gifts, games, and gingerbread. She’s also purchased perfect presents for each of her household - not forgetting the biggest bone in the butcher’s shop for her partner in crime, Gladstone the bulldog - and is looking forward to celebrating her first English country Christmas.

As snowflakes fall, Eleanor is cheering on contestants in the traditional Christmas fun run in the grounds of the hall. But tragedy strikes when one of the runners drops dead at the finish line. Dashing Detective Seldon is convinced it’s just a heart attack, but Eleanor isn’t so sure. When she finds a rather distinctive key where the man fell, Eleanor knows she’ll never rest until she finds out the truth about what happened in her own home.

Next the vicar is taken ill with what looks like poison, and Eleanor starts to wonder if the two cases are linked. When someone tries to frame her by planting poisoned berries in her own kitchen, she knows speed is of the essence. But the entire village was at Henley Hall for the festivities, and Eleanor has enough suspects to stuff a town full of turkeys. Can she nail the true killer and clear her name in time for Christmas?

Christmas won’t be complete without it! A festive treat for fans of Agatha Christie, TE Kinsey, and Lee Strauss.

good clean fun

It is so nice to sit back and read a truly entertaining and clean cut book filled with endearing characters, yet to listen to it narrated so wonderfully makes it even more so. As I work my way through this murder mystery series , I'm already in love with the foundational cast, and find myself cheering for my favorites. If you want to get caught up in sleuthing along with Lady Swift, or have a good chuckle, alternated with a bit of suspense...I highly recommend this series. The narration is the cherry on top. In today's world of graphic depictions of practically everything, and constant use of rough speaking as the current norm, the class Variety Bright writes with is so refreshing.

A favorite so far!

I'm a fan of this series and I can't wait for the next book... which I will be downloading as soon as I've finished here! One tip- try listening at speed 95. Lady Eleanor especially speaks very quickly, so taking the speed down a bit really helps me stop rewinding so often!
