When a London businessman retires early and buys a Tudor mansion, he’s quite surprised - and perhaps even a little pleased (retirement being pretty boring) - to find a skeleton hidden in a secret room in the house. The skeleton appears to be more than 150 years old, so the local police leave it to the homeowner to solve the mystery. The police are much more interested in solving a local, modern murder. Somehow the two deaths are connected.

First published in 1967, this is Aird’s only non-Inspector Sloan mystery, and a complete triumph.

I'd never heard of Catherine Aird before, but read about her mysteries in the excellent book blog "Thornfield Hall" (the only one I read, and I highly recommend it).
A Most Contagious Game is a wonderful mystery with engaging characters, family secrets, religious history, an ancient corpse, no sex, and hidden rooms. And just an occasional touch of understated humor.
Derek Perkins' narration is exquisite.
We have a week of thunderstorms coming up. I'm going to go find another mystery by Aird.

What a delight!

While I like Catherine Aird’s series of mysteries about police inspector C. D. Sloan, I love her stand-alone “A Most Contagious Game”! It is one of my all-time favorite mysteries by any author! I am so happy to have found it on Audible, and I know this won’t be my only time listening to it.
