About this listen
The Earl of Burford can't believe his luck. Rex Ransom, his favourite star from the 'talkies', and his hot-shot producer, Haggermeir, want to film their next feature at Alderley, the family's seventeenth-century country estate.
Somewhat less enthusiastic is the Countess, who finds herself hosting an impromptu house party for the incoming Hollywood crowd. And before long the guest list grows to include two of their wilful daughter Lady Geraldine's dubious suitors, a long-lost cousin, a sultry femme fatale, a bespectacled librarian, an eccentric screenwriter, and a professional blackmailer.
It's almost too much for Merryweather, the family's imperturbable butler, to cope with. And that's before there's a murder in the dead of night. Inspector Wilkins must unravel the baffling mystery - and work out just what a mutilated mink coat has to do with anything.

Understandably, Lord Burford had some misgivings about hosting another house party at Alderley, his beautiful country mansion. After all, the previous two could at best be described as disastrous, since a couple of their guests were bumped off during their stay on each occasion. But with family members travelling down for the funeral of an elderly relative, the Earl really had no choice but to offer them accommodation.

There’s a literary niche for all tastes including those who think that either Agatha Christie wasn’t funny enough or that PG Wodehouse didn’t feature anywhere near as many baffling murders as he could have. The Case of the Canterfell Codicil is a classic, cozy, locked-room mystery written in the style of an homage to PG Wodehouse.

The fiction world of today needs a “Saint” more than it ever did. For years now that scene has been dominated by the “anti-heroes"—those grim gray operators in a sunless sub-culture where global issues are worked out with totally unemotional pragmatism, those hapless uninspired puppets manipulated and expended by ruthlessly dedicated little brothers of Big Brother. It made morbidly fascinating narrative, but it never gave anyone a lift until it climaxed in the hyper-gadgeted parodies of 007 extravaganzas.

Story
Daughters of Eden focuses on the lives and fortunes of four very different young women at the outbreak of the Second World War. Marjorie, left at a boarding school by her emigrating mother; plain Poppy, pushed into marriage with a mean-spirited aristocrat; Kate, despised by her father, but determined to prove herself; and man-mad Lily, who turns out to be the bravest of them all. That all of them are chosen to work undercover for the espionage unit at Eden Park is a surprise, not least to them.

Better than the first
Liked this better than the 1st in the series. Performance was good except for the Italian woman verging on a cheesy Dracula accent.

fun fiction
This series is a lot of fun, but you do have to appreciate fiction as fiction. There's nothing very realistic here, but there's a lot going on and it will keep you guessing. I love the references to other fictional golden age detectives!
The narration is pretty good as well.

A REALLY ENTERTAINING NOVEL
I'd never read JA before and I am glad to have found him now. This novel is very entertaining - the plotting is uniquely complex but satisfying and surprising in the various denouements. The characters are well drawn and the dialogue is excellent, there is one scene I thought was fairly clunky but when the plot had fully unfolded I saw why it had been drawn that way. He leaves many loose ends on the way through the tale and then delights in wrapping each of them up nicely. Also his reluctant detective is a refreshing break from Alleyn, Poirot, Wimsey, and Appleby - his Golden Age contemporaries. Highly recommended and I am into the next book!

Author hit his satirical stride
I love all the references to other detectives in this book. I enjoyed the first book but this one was even more tongue in cheek and was funny while maintaining the mystery plot line,

Solid period mystery
Some of the other reviews I've read suggested this book wasn't as good as his others, but I liked it. Good story with lots of twists to keep you guessing. The mystery was intriguing and the character plots detailed and complex.
The narration was excellent.

Great read
Looking forward to the next listen. Narration wonderful. Twists and turns kept me guessing while keeping the smile on my face. Definitely in the category of a ‘light listen’. Just what I needed.

Screwball mystery
A funny take on a classic house party detective story, complete with poking fun at famous fictional detectives. The plot is elaborate and silly, but that’s just part of the entertainment. Cornelius Garrett reads it excellently. Light fun.

Absolutely Spiffing.!!!
I just love a well written and narrated period cozy mystery.
…. But this one was extremely complex, making it thrice more enjoyable than most.
Well done
