A house full of suspects. Two dogged detectives. One impossible murder.

When the owner of the Treefall Estate, Alexander Grimbourne, is murdered on the morning of his daughter’s wedding, the local police are stumped by the case. After all, Alexander’s body is found inside his study, the door and windows of which are locked from the inside - yet someone has stabbed the tyrannical man with a dagger through the heart and seemingly vanished into thin air.

An impossible murder case requires a uniquely talented detective, and there is no one better than Inspector Graves of Scotland Yard, who together with his new constable, James Carver, travel to Treefall Manor where they find a host of suspects. From the dead man’s resentful son to his fearful secretary, the local pub landlord to the gossiping housekeeper, the neighbouring landowner to the flighty socialite - even the village vicar is not above suspicion.

But in order to unmask the killer, Inspector Graves must first find the answer to some baffling questions: Who is the mysterious figure seen lurking on the Treefall Estate? How did the killer escape from a locked room? And why is Alexander found clutching The Canterbury Tales in his dead hand?

There was great character development with enough information to allow the listener to understand each character’s actions. There were also lots of plot twists throughout with unexpected outcomes that tied together quite neatly by the end. Well done!!

Twists and Surprises Throughout!

the AI "narrator" was frustratingly monotone; all characters exactly alike and i kept dropping off (zzz) in the long dialogs & having to go back.
it also misread several words, a minor annoyance but unprofessional.

the very end was an Oxford Comma- like experience. These two sentences were "read" in a rush, with no pause between them!
"and may God have mercy on my soul. this book was read by AI voice."

Indeed.

Artificial intelligence: just like the real thing... except not.

The AI narrator was just irritating. I didn't realize that I had purchased a book without a human narrator until it started saying things oddly. I almost stopped listening but the storyline was pretty good so I continued to the end. never again

AI WAS DISTRACTING

The storyline and characters were enjoyable. The narrator had a decent voice, but was clearly not a human. The timing for dialogue was off and it would pause in strange places. The text clearly had a character say, 'hmmm', but the reader would say the actual letters, h-m-m-m. This happened multiple times throughout the book.

AI voice missed the mark.

I could not stay interested at all, I had to turn it off. I love period pieces and mystery so I was anticipating liking this one. I didn’t know it was ai at first but could tell something was off but now it makes sense.

This particular AI is absolutely uninteresting to listen to.

It was difficult to listen to, because there was no human inflection in the reading. I couldn’t even finish listening to it.

Monotone AI reading

I was not at all interested in this book at all. I listened for two grueling hours and just couldn’t get into it. All the voices sounded the same so you weren’t sure if you were listening to a male or females voice. To me, the AI has really made audio books go downhill. I wished I hadn’t wasted my credit on this book.

Very slow
