Acerca de esta escucha

A duel at dawn. One man dead, the other gravely injured. What drove them to fight on a bitterly cold morning remains a mystery.

For years, Lady Bancroft’s Valentine’s Ball at Bancroft Hall had been a glittering gathering of high society’s most eligible men and women. Countless happy couples owe their love stories to her matchmaking, their gratitude keeping Lady Bancroft in the genteel comfort of her grand Cotswolds estate.

But this year tragedy strikes. A murder threatens to ruin everything.

Desperate, Lady Bancroft turns to her neighbour, the dashing Major Heathcliff Lennox. A decorated war hero and now a consultant to Scotland Yard, Lennox would much rather be fishing. But duty—and the insistent ex-detective Inspector Swift—calls.

What seems like a straightforward case takes a darker turn when another body is discovered. With secrets unraveling and suspects mounting, Lennox and Swift must race to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.

Meanwhile, Lennox's wife, Persi, an archeologist, is handed a mystery of her own. The Valentine's Murder is not the only mystery at Bancroft Hall, there was the centuries old mystery of the lost Lady of Lisle.

In 1415 Sir Edward Parcival Bancroft joined King Henry the fifth's retinue to wage war in France. Edward distinguished himself at Agincourt and was ennobled for his bravery and valour.

King Henry returned in triumph to London. Lord Edward Bancroft rode south, exploring a country he'd become enchanted with. He reached Lisle, and fell in love with the daughter of the local Seignour, Lady Madeleine de Lisle. They married and he escorted her home to Bancroft Hall. For six months they appeared happy and content. Then one fine summer's day, Lady Madeleine walked out of the house and vanished, never to be seen or heard of again.

Unless Persi, and Swift's wife, Florence can find her, or at least, uncover what happened to her...

I loved this story, as I have enjoyed all the books in the series. Fantastic narration as well. Definitely worth a read or listen.

Great new book

Loved it all. Very good story, and I learn something historical with each book. It is very good.

I love it when I cannot figure out who the killer is until Lennox does the big reveal.

Kept us guessing till the end. One had to remember the numerous characters, there were many!

Good read for light mystery

I was prepared to dislike the new narrator and he does tend to use very old sounding voices for older people. However he does a good job in telling the stories. The stories are really why I buy books by this author and hope there is a new old soon for my next trip on the road.

Narrator not as bad as reviewed

I really do like the series although not in love with the narrator of the last two, sadly. Besides that, they are entertaining and enjoyable!

Always a good story!

I was disappointed that the usual narrator was not used this time - it most definitely changed the atmosphere of the book , the usual characters were so different and most of all , Phoggy never barked…..

Disappointed

A wonderful Lennox and Swift murder mystery. Complex situations, twisted truths, too many deaths leave our detective duo scratching their heads. Meanwhile, Lady Percie was deep into her own investigation. A delightful cozy mystery.

EXCELLENT NARRATION

This new narrator has not captured the character of Heathcliff at all! Many times I could not distinguish Heathcliff speaking from Swift in there scenes together. The very distinct upper class accent tinged with unintentional snobbery and the cluelessness of Heathcliff is missing. This book was Dull and will be my last one of this series unless Mr. Dewhurst-Smith returns as narrator.

Bring back Sam Dewhurst-Phillips!

I’ve loved this series since the start. The books and mysteries are clever and intriguing, and the characters are interesting and thought out. However, this mystery in particular was harder for me to grasp and the conclusion seemed to come out of nowhere. I read each book, and then listen to the novel when the narration becomes available. I have been spoiled by the previous narrator, Sam Dewhurst-Phillips,stellar performance. While the new narrator appears to have listened to earlier books, he has not captured Lennox. In fact, the way Lennox is presented, his accent has changed and sounds like the snobby rich husband from Gilligan’s Island. His Scottish brogue is non existent, which does not bode well for the next novel set in Scotland. It has greatly reduced my enjoyment of the series. But, fingers crossed.

Not the same

The denouncement at the end was not as revealing as I would have liked. The ending was done too quickly and I felt like something was missing. It was a cozy mystery in typical Lennox fashion. This one was a bit lacking in plot compared to some of the prior ones. However, I still enjoyed it. In terms of the narrator, he is good but not Sam. I do agree with some reviewers that Lennox sounds older that he should but I was able to better distinguish between Swift and Lennox.

I didn’t Guess who dunnit!
