Publisher's summary

A missing girl...

The manipulative aristocrat, Marcus Dreadbury.

A local gangster with a drug-dealing problem.

The Manor's locked room, with a dusty handle.

Stables, but with no sign of any horses.

A subterranean stream.

Marcus' madcap father.

And a Manor-House full of surprises.

Trench and Old Tom must somehow make the connection, if they are to succeed at playing find-the-lady...

Fun listen

This is the second Arm Chair Detective book I've listened to and it's just as enjoyable as the first.

Not bad but not great

This was done a little differently than most books. It had a cast of characters and background noises for certain situations. It was more like a play than a book. There wasn’t anything great about it but it wasn’t bad either. I could take it or leave it

Good narration

Reminds me of listening to the radio detective stories, with the background music, and noises,. Giving one an eire feeling while listening, enjoyed the good narration of this audio story, for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Not my style

Not my style. I enjoy a good mystery novel but had a hard time with the English accents. At least it was a short story.
