About this listen

Trouble is brewing for the Hoggetts and their friend Chief Inspector Macdonald in Lunesdale, deep in the Lancashire fell country. By the jagged cliffs and chilling depths of a secluded quarry pool, strange noises disturb the night, and after an architect surveying the area is nearly hoisted into the cold waters by an unseen assailant, suspicions of a cold current of crime running through the area become a matter for the police.

First published in 1949, this classic of Lake District crime fiction pairs Lorac’s evocative depictions of her beloved Lunesdale with a twisting and intelligent puzzle for Chief Inspector Macdonald.

This is the third volume of Lorac’s Lunesdale novels. So all are now available as audiobooks. (It should be subtitled “A Lancashire Mystery “ like all the others rather than “A Lake District mystery “). It’s an enjoyable story with a fairy predictable ending. It’s well read apart from Kate Hoggett sounding like Kenneth Williams. 🙄

Enjoyable country crime
