About this listen

A lonely castle, a murder mystery with a touch of humour and a dog of distinction.

Book 3 in the Heathcliff Lennox series.

Halloween 1921. A castle on a rock in a Scottish loch, Braeburn has been crumbling for centuries. Someone tries to remedy the rot but uncovers a skeleton behind a wall. It wears a crown and hides a curse — is it the ancient King of the Isles? Or is it Black Dougal? Then the skull and crown disappears. As ghosts are heard and treasure seekers arrive, the Braeburn’s call Major Heathcliff Lennox. He travels to Scotland to help, taking his dog, his butler and his small cat.

Major Heathcliff Lennox, ex WW1 war pilot, 6 feet 3 inches, tousled dark blond hair, age around 30, named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother, much to his great annoyance.

These books are absolutely brilliant, a cross between Jeeves and Wooster and Agatha Christie. What makes it is the performance of the narrator, he is absolutely brilliant and his accents are spot on. There is humor, suspense and the characters are really endearing. If you enjoy a roaring fire, a glass of red wine and a good story on a Sunday afternoon, this is for you.

One of my favorite series

I found I had to rewind a few times and write notes about the clans, clan leaders, battles, norsemen, norse leaders and whatnot. Eventually got the hang of the bally history.
Another girl for Heathcliff, sorry old chap, Lennox, to fall for in his awkward besotted fashion.
The addition of Fog, a feline stowaway and Greggs makes it a 'family' affair, topped and tailed by the bootboy who I can tell will come on a treat in ensuing tales. Fortune simles favourably on Greggs on the subject of female companionship too.
The descriptions of a dire cold castle, and grim, icily wet weather made me want to jump into a hipbath of steaming hot water...with my socks on.

Excellent Tale of All Hallows Eve on a Remote Isle

Good fun!

You really feel the author’s growing confidence in this book. The characters are becoming more clearly defined and three dimensional. The story as well hits a really good pace, with a great balance of mystery and wit. One of the most fun reads I’ve had for a long time.

A ripping yarn
