About this listen

A marriage celebration. A shocking murder. An English manor house mystery.

In 1920s England, private detective Henry Fleming is invited to spend the weekend at Watermead Manor to celebrate the marriage of Gerald and Ida Langley. The handsome millionaire had been instantly smitten with the glamorous Ida and, after a whirlwind romance, they had married in secret.

Upon returning to England, however, it soon becomes apparent that not everyone is pleased or excited about the marriage and very soon accusations begin to fly about Ida's motives: Does she really love him, or is she just an opportunistic gold-digger?

When, during the celebratory dinner, a guest is struck down by what appears to be poison, every guest becomes a suspect. It's now up to Fleming to sift through the evidence and thereby unearth the truth and expose the lies.

For fans of Poirot, Miss Marple, Columbo, Jessica Fletcher and all their wonderful whodunnit/howdunnit mysteries.

Love this style

So I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holme and nothing can compare but there is something that resonates to with Detective Fleming that I look forward to listening/reading more! Also truly enjoy the narrator.

Interesting, lighthearted, intelligent whodunit

This is part of an enjoyable mystery series with intriguing twists and turns. I liked the main characters and I hope future books continue to develop the main character. This was a cozy English historical murder mystery done right, with many cups of tea.

Average cozy mystery

The story is just ok. At first, I almost gave up I was so bored. As it was a short novel, i continued to listen. It turned out to be a little better towards the end. I have no desire to read another book in this series, however, it could be another readers cup of tea.
