4.0 out of 5 stars A very British mystery, April 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Steel (C.D. Sloan Mysteries) (Audio Cassette)

In this book starring CD Sloan, the murder is set in theenglish stately home of the Earl of Ornum... The suspects include thearistocratic family, two great aunts, visiting cousins, an absent minded mother, a blackmailing hanger-on and the butler; there is plenty of red herrings, for the reader to try and solve the murder. Before the mystery is soved another murder, a chandelier, a missing painting are all added to the mix. This is a delightful book, which gives the reader a look inside the workings of a stately home and a lesson in legal history, gently wrapped in a nice murder mystery. END

This review is from: The Complete Steel (Audible Audio Edition)

Dang! For a second I thought I'd found a new Robin Bailey-narrated Catherine Aird book. But after reading the description I see that it is just The Stately Home Murders re-named to fool the unwary.

Anyway, I highly recommend this audio book, regardless of its title. Robin Bailey is an excellent narrator, with quite a command of accents and vocal inflection.

The mystery's not too bad, either!
