About this listen
London, early 1950s. Marcia Beasley of St John's Wood is discovered dead in her home, naked and covered with a coal scuttle. Detective Sergeant Greenleaf is tasked with solving the crime and bringing meaning to her gruesome death, and it seems her whole social circle have secrets to hide and grudges to bear.
Who, for example, is the limping midnight visitor? Is the bibulous priest as ingenious as he seems? And will Mrs Burkiss ever yield her keys to the broom cupboard?

Long and a little too complex…
Too many characters to keep track of. Story quite good but takes some concentrating to really follow it at all times.

Compelling
There were a tad too many characters for my liking, I got confused at a point. Otherwise a compelling story. At some point I was convinced almost all of the others had done the deed.

Very enjoyable bit of fictional history
Nicely paced. Well observed. Lots of snobbery and class, mixed with history. A good listen.

Am engaging little tale with some interesting twists.
I am never completely relaxed about murder being treated with levity. blah, blah to makeup the ridiculous need for 15 words!

Lively tale and wonderful narration
This well-plotted, literate and amusing novel was wonderfully enlivened by marvellous narration. Great fun. 15 word minimum is a bore.

relaxing mystery to go to sleep to
very good, the author has a beautiful turn of phrase. the reader is overall very good, but the two policeman sound exactly the same which is a little confusing at the start.

Different approach
Once I got used to the style of writing I enjoyed the book. It gave great detail of each character similar to Agatha Christie

Long winded
I have never been so glad to get to the end of a book. The reader did my head in, the story seemed to flit from one place to the next with little context. The characters were very odd and hard to keep track of partly due to all sounding very similar

Great listen
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Witty, charming and entertaining in an old school way, with great characters. I’ve already purchased the next in the series and can’t wait to get started.

Different but enjoyable
I enjoyed this. A light hearted murder but sometimes I got a bit lost with the characters. But having said that it made a nice change.
