Publisher's summary
A death in a locked room and a house full of suspects....
New York, 1925
Penelope “Pen” Banks has a knack for puzzling things out and the uncanny ability to remember everything she sees. Two talents that have helped her make ends meet, playing cards in clubs and speakeasies. Now, they might just help her discover the true cause of death for a dear old family friend.
Agnes Sterling has been found dead in her Long Island mansion. The official cause of death is ruled a suicide. After all, she was found in her locked bedroom with both the bottle of poison and a final handwritten note on the bed next to her.
Penelope is certain Agnes Sterling’s death was not by her own hand. She’s been summoned to Long Island for the reading of the will, along with the other beneficiaries. While there, she plans on doing a little sleuthing to discover what really happened to Agnes.
The surprising terms of the will and a secret letter have Pen all the more certain that foul play was at hand.
A Murder in Long Island is the first book in the Penelope Banks Murder Mysteries set in 1920s New York, with a spirited heroine, witty banter, and twists and turns that will leave you guessing. Perfect for listeners who enjoy the feel of a cozy mystery with the excitement and daring of Prohibition and the Jazz Age.

Interesting puzzle
The main characters were very well written and the story was fun. The narrator was so staccato with most of the characters, especially the elderly ones, it was annoying. But I probably will follow this series.

Good story but……
I have listened to several other mystery series during this era about lady detectives and I am quite satisfied with this one as well. However, the narrator quite honestly was unbearable. I actually stopped listening after chapter 8, because of the monotone flatness and serious lack of acting of the narrator. Please get somebody else to read your books or I unfortunately will not continue listening.

Narration spoiled it completely
I can’t say for sure what was good as the poor narration was so bad I could not listen anymore.
