Acerca de esta escucha

Welcome to Oldminster, a quaint little town where there’s always a mystery to be solved.

Frank Renfield, Baron of Renfield Hall, will stop at nothing to save himself from ruin. Even if that means marrying his daughter off to a rich American. Unfortunately for him, she is already in love with a penniless nobody named Alan Lavender—to the glee of Alan’s greedy uncle Guy. He’s been nosing into the Renfields’ murky past, and he says he’s uncovered a secret. Something so shocking it casts a shadow over Frank’s entire legacy.

Tensions run high at the hall, until Guy Lavender turns up dead. A convenient coincidence for Frank? Detectives French and Edwards are on the case. But in a town full of secrets, the truth can be hard to find. And Guy’s won’t be the only body to fall before their work is done … Who will be next to die under the Renfields’ roof?

Interesting enough story but terrible reader

The story was interesting enough but the reader made it unbearable to listen to and I ultimately ended up reading it myself in the end. The reader made everyone sound the same and very stuffy. There was no variation at all and frankly I just couldn’t sort out when a different character was meant to be speaking. Really disappointing. I hope it’s a different reader for the second book.

Great Mystery

The narrator did a great job, very easy to follow along. First book I’ve ever run across by this author, I’m looking forward to finding more!

Complicated, engaging plot

This was a rather complicated plot due to the many characters involved. It took me awhile to remember all of them when they were being introduced one by one. The story was good and kept me listening and guessing. The final reveal of whodunit was a bit abrupt and lacked the ‘tadah’ or ‘omg it’s you!’ element though.

I have listened to the narrator Anthony Ferguson on another series and enjoyed his reading then, hence I was surprised to read that other reviewers had issues with his reading. Personally, I find his accent and voice clear and pleasant. I have to admit that doing female voices wasn’t his best skill, as the ladies all sounded similar, with too upper class snobbish way of talking. Given the many characters involved in this book, the male voices were limited too and sometimes can be difficult to differentiate. The trick is to focus on the scene you are listening to at the point, so it will confusing.

Imaginative and contemporary story but with classic elements of an English mystery.

Refreshing to have a mystery only! No main character wasting time in a romantic entanglement. All the characters were center stage in turn and were interesting and well developed. A contemporary view of the classic Great House and Titled Family story. No boring little village and no trite Grand Reveal. Instead, an interesting solution.

Complex characters, interesting plotting

The author introduces morally ambiguous characters and circumstances. So that it wasn’t immediately easy to identify with a hero. But this complexity made the characters more intriguing.

The multiple threads, plots, and sub plots require close attention. In fact, it was only in listening to it twice that I felt I got all of them.

A smattering of literary allusions increased the book’s interest for me.

Good mystery

This was a good book, although I think I would have enjoyed reading more than listening to it because the narrator's voice was so two-dimensional. He spoke with such an unusual cadence, as though cold-reading the material off a teleprompter, and there wasn't enough difference in the voices for me to keep track of who was speaking.

Better than expected

This is an audible plus book, thank you audible. I notice previous reviewers are not entirely pleased with Antony Ferguson, however, I have listened to him read another series so knew what to expect, and have learned to enjoy his style. The book is interesting and I do so much enjoy a happy ending.

Weird but engaging

For the first half of the book i felt like i was listening to seth mcfarlen when the actor tried to do an American accent. Totally distracting. The way the story was going i kept wondering about the author. Was it AI generated? Lots of unexpected plot twists and characters dispatched unexpectedly. Ending brought in another supernatural element unexpectedly. It was good because i couldn’t tell where it was going. Lots of silly details thrown in throughout about clothes. Can’t give it 5 stars because too cheesy for that but i will listen to more of these stories. I sew and listen to stories like these where i can still pay attention to what i am doing.

Boring story and unpleasant characters

I couldn’t get any further than a couple of hours before I gave up. The narrator was slow and pompous with all voices. I disliked all of the characters and the story was boring. Sorry but not for me.

Too many characters

There were way too many characters and subplots. Narrator sounded the same for everyone - a nasally aristocrat.
