January 1954. Mists cover the hills around Selchester. Someone at the research facility known as the Atomic is leaking secrets to Soviet Russia, and when nuclear scientist Bruno Rothesay goes missing, the British Intelligence Services are convinced he's the mole. Hugo Hawksworth isn't so sure. Then a body turns up, and Hugo's instincts are proven correct. But if Rothesay wasn't selling secrets to the Soviets, who is?

As Hugo digs deeper into buried connections and unlikely coincidences, he knows there's more to this case than his London superiors believe. But following his instincts will pit him against the Establishment - and tangle him once again in the poisonous legacy of the late Lord Selchester.

As he closes in on the truth, Hugo finds himself confronted by an adversary who will stop at nothing, in a case that will prove the most personal of his career.

With a touch of Downton Abbey, a whisper of Agatha Christie and a nod to John Le Carré, A Matter Of Loyalty is the third and final book in this delightfully classic and witty murder-mystery series.

A Matter of Loyalty is both a fitting end to this series and a fitting tribute to Elizabeth Edmondson by her son Anselm Audley.
The narrator Michael Page is first rate, breathing life into the characters, capturing them in every detail, giving the authors words depth and feeling. The story line was excellent and kept me captivated throughout. I totally understand why there won’t be anymore books in this series and appreciated the after note explaining. But I would have loved to have heard how Hugo, Freya, Georgia and everyone all ended up. Great series.

Fabulous to the end

This has been a lovely series, and I was so pleased that this third book was finished by the authors son. The only downside is that the rest of the series won't be written, unless he changes his mind. Anselm Audley has done a great job of finishing this book, which she had hardly begun before her death.
There are areas of the story which had a slightly different feel to the previous two books, but very little, and I soon forgot it wasn't all written by Elizabeth Edmondson.
More than a mystery, you feel you know the characters and want to know more what happens. Thank you Anselm .

The last story

Accents too harsh, to clipped, not distinctive ruin an exciting story, shame. Please re-record it

Good story ruined by poor performance

I loved the 3 books in the series and understand why the son of the author is not writing anymore but will be sad not to be able to delve into the life of Hugo and friends anymore.
