About this listen

A locked room. A mysterious death. Just another gig for the Dizzy Heights.

When London’s finest jazz musicians, the Dizzy Heights, are booked to play the glitzy Midsummer Ball at a country house in Oxfordshire, they expect a weekend filled with flappers and toffs having a roaring good time.

But the festivities at Bilverton House take a turn for the worse when the group are stranded by a summer storm. And when a member of the Bilverton family turns up dead in a locked room in an apparent suicide, Skins, Dunn and Ellie realize this is going to be a much tougher gig than they thought.

But here’s the lick. What if it was in fact cold-blooded murder? And what if the killer is still at large? It’s up to the Dizzy Heights to once again put down their instruments and get improvising if they want to solve this confounding mystery.

Critic reviews

“Listeners should hold on tight as narrator Simon Mattacks escorts them on a fast-paced journey with the Dizzy Heights jazz band as they play a gig at the elegant Bilverton House, where an upscale crowd partakes in the latest 1920s jiving. Mattacks accelerates the drama as a wild storm traps the band at the British estate, where the host is found dead.... Seamlessly and without hesitation, Mattacks clearly differentiates character voices.... This listen is a rollicking ride as Mattacks reveals how the band hits a high note while conducting a proper murder investigation.” (AudioFile Magazine)

This series is great and I really enjoy 'spending time' with the Dizzy Heights. Skins, Barty and the rest are great fun, even in the midst of a suspicious death. My only regret is that I can't hear the music. I would love more of this series please Mr Kinsey.
