About this listen

Anty travels to the Riviera to finally have that awkward "did you murder my father" conversation with his mother, but instead finds himself in the ticklish position of defending her and an innocent elephant against charges of a murder that no one could have committed.

Like all Anty Boisjoly mysteries, Reckoning at the Riviera Royale is a stand-alone stumper populated with eccentric characters and composed of impossible murder and improbable intrigues, delivered with signature Boisjoly banter, and it’s best enjoyed by those who like a little humor in their whodunnit.

Anty Boisjoly is a serious experiment in a whimsical line—Christie-esque locked-room mysteries written in the style of PG Wodehouse. The reviews are in and the experiment is a success. Listeners emphasize in particular the witty and whimsical first-person voice of Anty Boisjoly narrating the nevertheless twisty mysteries.

enjoyble!

I've listened to all the offerings in this series and am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed them. The wittisms, quick quips and banter is very amusing and keeps you engaged while the most unlikely detective works out who killed whom. They are all entertaining and I'd recommend starting with the first one and keep going through all five.

Lifted my mood considerably

Inane story but too entertaining to stop listening. Clever lines and witty, if ludicrous plot, made it perfect for recuperating from eye surgery. Delightful.

Enjoyable!

Another great book in the series. This book did not have Inspector Wittersham, but was nevertheless enjoyable. Anty was in his usual elements, full of charm and wits. I especially love how the killer was unmasked in front of everyone, different from the earlier books and what a surprise!

My new favorite detective!

Anty is a fantastic character and I love his way of solving mysteries! His compassion for both people and animals is endearing and adorable. And I loved the ending. I can’t wait for more Anty Boisjoly mysteries!

The main character can be a bit wordy

I love the narrator and the story but Anty’s dialogue can be a bit confusing or over my head. I think it’s because I’m listening to the book instead of reading which could clear up some phrasing for me.

I love this series

This series is light hearted and fun. The narrator does such a great job bringing Anty and the other characters to life. I don’t think I would enjoy it as much reading it va listening to it. Can’t wait for the next one.

LOVE THIS SERIES!

I love this series and look forward eagerly to the next installment. Out of the five I have listened to so far, the storyline on this one drags a little and would have benefited from a little editing, but it has top-notch narration and lots of interesting twists and turns.

Fantastically Fabulous Fun

Anty’s over the top persona and his alliterative illustrative elucidations are delightful. One of my new favorite series. Sink in and enjoy.
