About this listen

Welcome to Alderley, a magnificent mansion in the heart of the West Country where a grand house party is taking place. The preparations have been made, the guests have been invited, and the staff are on hand. What could possibly go wrong? Let the entertainment begin.

The theft of the diamond necklace and the antique pistols might all be explained, but the body in the lake - that really was a puzzle. 'Don't expect me to solve anything,' Inspector Wilkens announced modestly when he arrived to sort out the unpleasantness. And at a gathering that included English aristocracy, foreign agents in disguise, a ravishing baroness, a daring jewel thief, a Texas millionaire and, of course, the imperturbable butler, it was going to take some intricate sleuthing to uncover who killed whom and why.

Requires a little brain work if you want to figure it all out first! I just went along for the ride 😊
A really fun and mildly silly jaunt. A great tribute to, and loving pastiche of, the genre

So much fun

Typical "whodunit", will lots of characters, twist and turns and generally bafflement.
From Lords, Billionaires, Ministers, Foreign Diplomatics and a sprinkling of others it has plenty of intrigue.
I prefer not to solve the whole puzzle before the end and this is such a story.

Enjoyable
