Summary

In The Case of the Case of Kilcladdich, golden-age gadabout Anty Boisjoly travels to the timeless source waters of Glen Glennegie to help decide the fate of his family’s favourite ferment, but an impossible locked room murder is only one of a multitude of mysteries that try Anty’s wits and witticisms to their northern limit.

Time trickles down on the traditional tipple as Anty unravels family feuds, ruptured romance, shepherdless sheep, and a series of suspiciously surfacing secrets to sort out who killed whom and how and why and who might be next to die.

Tim Bruce returns as ever-optimistic Anty, his heirloom valet Vickers, and two entire Scottish villages, sheep included, and manages to keep everyone distinct and distilled and delightful, even after the whisky kicks in during a golf match which is hilarious on paper but which Tim raises to a pro tour de force.

The Case of the Case of Kilcladdich is another stand-alone, locked room puzzler for those who like a little kidding in their killing and mirth in their mystery, and wouldn’t object one bit to a conspiracy between Agatha Christie and PG Wodehouse.

I really like this series, Anty is a fantastic character, so witty and full of humor.

The voice actor does a superb job, as always.

English is not my first language, and even though I’ve been speaking and reading it for nearly 50 years, I found this book challenging: I do love how the author plays with words, but this time with all the Scottish names it was confusing for me and I had to stop and rewind many times.

I still loved the book, and I can’t wait to stay the next one, but if there are other users who, like me, are not 100% fluent in English just know that this book requires full attention.

Very entertaining

I love these stories, they remind me in a way of the Paul temple mysteries. But with a large dash of humour thrown in.
I can’t wait for the next one and hope it’s all ready being recorded

A fun who dunnit

PJ Fitzsimmons has such a wonderful way with words - the number of synonyms for tea or whisky are reason enough in themselves to listen to his books, and in this one the insults traded by the barmen Angus and Alistair made me genuinely laugh out loud. Tim Bruce's narration complements the characters perfectly and his performance for the drunken game of golf is a masterpiece - well observed, not OTT, just hilariously accurate. Of course the plot is all wildly unlikely but it's well-written, light-hearted escapist fiction not gritty realism. Thoroughly recommended

Wonderful writing and narration

Typical bizarre plot and some of the dialogue is laugh out loud funny. The sarcastic barmen are a treat. And featuring a golf match worthy of PG Wodehouse at his best.

Superb hilarious storytelling
