The story starts in New Zealand, introducing us to a charming family who are a bit odd. It is all fun until we get to England with murder, references to Macbeth and a play fair mystery which I didn't guess. Recommended

Mystery, Macbeth, and a crazy family

Phillip Franks narration was superb! It is going to be difficult to listen to anyone else… I felt totally transported to that era. Of course the delicious story line and rich language as well personality of each character draws one in completely… I found myself laughing out loud… with the family’s conversations… wonderful mystery!

Wow!I felt like I was sitting in the parlor with them!!

Excellent writing and a very good example of the golden age of detective fiction. Phillip Franks is a terrific voice actor. He's more than a "reader" and I look forward to hearing more from him.

Quite good

I have been waiting for years and years for someone to do an unabridged audiobook of this title!!! It was worth the wait. I first read this book when it was entitled "Death of a Peer" and fell in love with the charming Lampreys.
And I have to say that the Narrator is unequaled!!! What a total delight!!!

So Charming
