E.C.R. Lorac
The Surrays and their five children form a prolific writing machine, with scores of treatises, reviews and crime thrillers published under their family name. Following a convergence of the whole household at their Oxfordshire home, Ruth—the middle sister—decides to spend some weeks there recovering from the pressures of the writing life. Their next return is heralded by the tragic news that Ruth has taken her life after an evening at the Surrays' hosting a set of publishers and writers, one of whom is named as Ruth's literary executor in the will she left behind.
Despite suspicions, the verdict at the inquest is suicide—but when Ruth's brother Richard receives a letter from the deceased which was delayed in the post, he enlists the help of CID Robert Macdonald to investigate what could only be an ingeniously planned murder.

Ugh. Yuck. This might be the last of her books I listen to. If I can even get through it. It reads like I imagine a Danielle Steel book to read. And that’s not a compliment.
But at your own risk.
Come to think of it, I don’t see how anyone could mistake

All these factors which may dampen listening also make the mystery intriguing. Plus, I love the fact it features hand bookbinding, means and method, a hobby of mine which I haven’t seen featured in fiction before now.

As a detective, Macdonald seems to be the precursor of PD James’s Adam Dalgliesh. Love how we can always count on his intelligence and decency. (If only PD James’s books were re-recorded with a better narrator than the dull female reader most are usually recorded with!!)
