About this listen

Anty Boisjoly is back to fill the gap that overlaps between Ruth Rendell and P. G. Wodehouse, and where Jerome K. Jerome meets Dorothy L. Sayers.

The Tale of the Tenpenny Tontine is another mystifying manor-house stumper for Wodehousian bon-vivant and problem-solver Anty Boisjoly, when his clubmate asks him to determine who died first after a duel is fought in a locked room. The untold riches of the Tenpenny Tontine are in the balance, but the stakes only get higher when Anty determines that, duel or not, this was a case of murder.

Suitably convoluted plot strewn with characters who are in turn prickly, supercilious, endearing and just plain rude. But what makes it is the fabulous use of English which is laugh out loud funny in places.

Another great plot but not quite as compelling as the previous book. The narration really is fantastic though and makes me laugh out loud.

Another rip roaring yarn!

I'm really liking this series. It reminds me of Lord Peter Wimsey from the Dorothy L Sayers books , era and character etc.
Good cosy mystery.
