Murder at Melrose Court

By: Karen Baugh MENUHIN

Narrated by: Sam Dewhurst-Phillips

A 1920s Christmas Country House Murder Mystery, an uplifting festive listen

Downton Abbey meets Agatha Christie with a touch of Wodehouse and a dog of distinction.

Book 1 in the Heathcliff Lennox series

It's 1920 and Christmas is coming. Major Lennox finds a body on his doorstep — why on his doorstep? Was it to do with the Countess? Was it about the ruby necklace? Lennox goes to Melrose Court, home to his uncle, Lord Melrose, to uncover the mystery. But then the murders begin and it snows and it all becomes very complicated....

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

Absolute best narrator!

Delightful old fashioned mystery. Read by a master.
So good that I plan to listen to it again.

Such a Delightful Story!

I admit to be reluctant to starting the audio book, after buying it in a sale, as I needed the right moment to listen undistracted. After starting the book, I found the narration a delight and couldn't put the book down.
This cozy is unlike many others that I've read/ listened to, as the characters and plot are intricately developed . Red herrings along the way keep the reader engaged till the very end!
A new favorite author and series 😍!

Delightful

What a fun mystery. Good story and giggles along the way. The performance was excellent!

Engrossing story

Story was engrossing and entertaining. The narrator did a good job distinguishing each character with voice variations and intonations. I enjoyed the book and look forward to "reading " more by this author.

Engaging Story and Near Perfect Performance!

What a joy to find a new wonderful author and an amazing audiobook performer.
Karen Menuhin writes a very good story with intrigue, humor, and insight. The characters are wonderful and come alive through the voice performance of Sam Dewhurst-Philips.
I'm looking forward to more from both the author and the voice actor.
