About this listen

Anty Boisjoly tackles the strange case of a war hero who visits his old friends on Christmas morning—after being murdered on Christmas Eve.

In The Case of the Ghost of Christmas Morning, Wodehousian clubman, flaneur, idler, and sleuth Anty Boisjoly pits his sardonic wits against another pair of impossible murders. This time, Anty Boisjoly’s Aunty Boisjoly is the only possible suspect when a murder victim stands his old friends a farewell drink at the local, hours after being murdered.

Like The Case of the Canterfell Codicil, The Case of the Ghost of Christmas Morning fits the narrow literary needs of those who feel that Lord Peter Wimsey isn’t frivolous enough or that Blandings Castle could stand a few more baffling murders.

Fabulous narrator!!

The story is just as layered as the 1st book in the series. It takes you on a mysterious path along with Antony through the crime and you end up happily on the other side enjoying the humor along the way. This narrator makes this series absolutely the most fun! His interpretation and speech cadence for the characters is so perfect that it can’t be over stated. Thoroughly enjoyed!!

even better as an audio book

The author's lively prose comes to life with Bruce's performance. Anthony comes to the rescue and saves his Aunt Azelea who is suspected of the murder of a WWI flying ace. Christmas cheer is deeply imbibed and you may want a toddy at your elbow when you listen to this engaging and amusing tale. highly recommended

So much fun

Unadulterated silliness from start to finish! The story is clever, the characters are endearing, and the word play is never stops.

laughed myself sick

perfection- funny charming likable characters- nice even volume - no occult references- no sexual violence-p j fitzsimmoms is my idea of a perfect writer- no one would want to change one delicious word- Tim bruce is my idea of a perfect narrator- he loves understands and brings out the beauty of this incredibly talented writer instead of seeing the book as a vehicle for showing off- how many accents they can do - steamrolling over the meaning of the language- I am tired of narrators with three speeds audible with no understanding of what they are reading-- yelling really loud as if they think we will be bored by the book and then dropping their voice really low to unintelligible to indicate something is important but of course we dont know what it is because we can't hear it-- and the writing is soooooo good I appreciate that mr bruce serves the writing-other narrators take note- I hope Tim bruce will do the lord Peter whimsy series-

Witty and Fun

Lots of unexpected twists in this one! Fast-paced, entertaining, and at times it was laugh-out-loud amusing!

Fun, flawed frivolity

I enjoy these stories. They do require a HUGE suspension of reality. This mystery is implausible from the beginning and the identity of the victim could have been solved easily, but then we wouldn't be able to enjoy the kooky story and characters. The narrator is great!

Cozy mystery genre at it’s finest!

Alternated between reading on my Kindle at bedtime and listening during the day at work, and the narrator made this story come to life!
Highly recommend for quality entertainment, British humor and a good, clean mystery!

Dare I say?

Dare I say this is a masterful job by author and narrator? Yes, by golly, I DO say! Not since I first encountered P.G. Wodehouse and Bertie Wooster many years ago have I laughed as long and as loudly. That cow! And that Christmas Carol nearly done me in! Warning: do not listen to the tale of Anty's rendering of this song while others are sleeping nearby - I had to flee to the guest room!
Finding (and, good gracious) maintaining this tone is truly amazing in this day and age and nothing short of wonderful! Both the writing and the narration are pitch perfect. PJ Fitzsimmons and Tim Bruce, I would like to shake your hands and join you for a dinner party. Thank you for a delightful Christmas in June.
P.S.: For those who care about the actual mystery involved, it is of course, very secondary and very silly, but sound when you go back to think about the clues. No one but Anty could possibly find this solution, but that is part of the fun. Write on! And Narrate on! Tjos was my second outing with Anty Boisjoly, and I eagerly anticipate more.
