A murder on the stage of a packed theatre, a company of actors ripped apart by rivalries, and a secret that has simmered for decades.

England, 1927. When an actor is killed during the performance of a new mystery play, his colleagues refuse to believe it was an accident and turn to Lord Edgington for help. The renowned detective must navigate a labyrinth of deceit to solve the crime, but when every possible culprit is on the cast list, it’s hard to know who’s telling the truth and who’s playing a part.

To save the other actors from the killer’s knife, the master sleuth and his loyal grandson race to outwit their opponent, but will they unravel the tangled threads of the case before more lives are claimed?

Set against the backdrop of the opulent theatres and luxurious hotels of London's West End in the twenties, A Killer in the Wings is a witty and suspenseful whodunit with a cast of devious suspects and a carefully twisting plot that will leave you guessing until the curtain falls.

The Lord Edgington Investigates audiobooks are narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows, Vikings, Versailles, and the Oscar-winning film of Les Miserables.

This is another great book from Benedict Brown. As usual we see the story through his grandson Christopher's eyes, which is always good fun. Chrissy makes everything come alive. Though I suppose I should say that the narrator, George Blagden, makes it all come alive. He does his usual fantastic job. Now onto the next one.

Another great book
