About this listen
'Utterly beautiful. I adored it' JOANNA CANNON
'Hugely uplifting and wonderful' AJ PEARCE
'A ripping yarn full of warmth and wonder' BETH MORREY
Sometimes finding your place in the world is the greatest puzzle of all...
Clayton Stumper is an enigma.
He might be twenty-five years old, but he dresses like your grandad and drinks sherry like your aunt.
Abandoned at birth on the steps of the Fellowship of Puzzlemakers, he was raised by the sharpest minds in the British Isles and finds himself amongst the last survivors of a fading institution.
When the esteemed crossword compiler, Pippa Allsbrook, passes away, she bestows her final puzzle to him: a promise to reveal the mystery of his parentage and prepare him for his future.
Yet as Clay begins to unpick the clues, he uncovers something even the Fellowship have never been able to solve - and it's a secret that will change everything...
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Heartwarming and satisfying
This is a moving and unique story beautifully read by Dame Penelope Keith. Love the idea that we are all a puzzle we need to solve ourselves. Also the combination of well drawn older characters with a young man finding himself. Bravo!

Enjoyable read
Spotted this book in a review when it said that the audible would be narrated in part by Penelope Keith, a favourite of mine, so I thought I’d give it a go. Glad I did. Russell Tovey the other narrator was good as well. As with many narrators some of the voices of different characters are better than others but not enough to ruin it. The story was well crafted with the character of Clayton well developed . I really enjoyed being along side him as he tracks the clues. I think it worked well as an audiobook with the alternating chapters being read by each of them. There is a pdf of the puzzles included but not essential to the book.

Like nothing I’ve read before
Totally different kind of book. In equal parts had me wanting to pause to solve puzzles and continue listening to find out how the story ended.

Thoroughly enjoyed
Beautifully written and read. Quirky, uplifting and absorbing. It's perfectly possible to enjoy the story without getting hung up on the puzzle aspect.

Penelope Keith’s narration was sublime
Cosy but interesting story. Standout for me was the narration especially Penelope Keith. I don’t know why I’ve never heard her read a book before.
