Resumen del Editor

Murder, Mystery and a dog of distinction

Book 8 in the Heathcliff Lennox series.

Major Heathcliff Lennox is called in, along with ex Detective Inspector Swift, to help the police investigate a macabre death. The dead man is Lord De Ruyter, a man inextricably linked to the notorious Birdcage Murders.

Nothing is as it appears, witnesses to De Ruyter's murder are not the strangers they purport to be, everyone present had a reason to be there and it all relates to the Birdcage Murders.

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

so much fun and always keeps you guessing

I just love Heathcliff Lennox and Ex Detective Swift. The flow, the twists and turns and the characters are just wonderful. And Sam Dewhurst Phillips has a lot to to with that. I even went back and relistened the first book again recently. Just as much fun as the first time.

Great narration great writing...

Well done old stick.

Great read!

Like the others in this series, Birdcage Murders was highly entertaining and beautifully narrated! It’s a delightful series!

Twisty as always

Never fails to impress with the intricacies she writes. Can’t wait for the next one.

Thoroughly enjoyable

I wasn’t sure when I started this series, but I have loved each and every book in the series. I look forward to the next installment.

Another great one by this author!

I have enjoyed every one of the Lenox series. The narrator is superb ! My favorite character is always Tommy! If you haven’t read these start at number one!!!!

What a great story!!!

This was my first Heathcliff Lennox mystery. (Or, really, just "Lennox." He HATES his first name, and asks people, not terribly politely, NOT to use it.) This is a great mystery story, with a totally surprising surprise ending. The characters are very well drawn, and I liked them all.
¶ One of the finest points of the Audible version of the series (this is the eighth book, and the ninth is just being released as I write this) is the wonderful narrator of all the books, Sam Dewhurst-Phillips. I have heard many narrators who do voices quite well, but I had never heard one who comes at all close to Sam's abilities in that department: every single person in the book is easily identifiable by Sam's voices. And not only the males: Sam does females much better than any other male narrator I'd ever heard, and the ladies are ALSO all totally identifiable just by his voice. Just amazing.
¶ FULL DISCLOSURE: This copy of the book was given to me by Karen Menuhin, the author. But I want to say that not a single word of this review (in fact, she did not even ask me to write a review) is intended to curry favor with her: it's all exactly what I would have said had I never had any contact at all with her and had paid full price for the book. I have now bought the first book in the series, and I fully intend to purchase them all in turn.

Fun! Interesting!

I’m enjoying this series very much. The Birdcage Murders is reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express. I enjoy the narrator and of course, when the dog barks

What wild story

This was a very complex story that kept me guessing the whole time. The best part of these books is the narrator, Sam Dewhurst-Phillips. I love his deep voice and also the occasional sound effects that he slips in.

Great plot

I love these books. Each one is different case associated with development of main characters personal life

Best one yet

This the best of the Heathcliff Lennox series so far. Ms. Menuhin is becoming a modern Agatha Christie.
