"I've been a scoundrel, a thief, a blackmailer, and a whore, but never a murderer. Until now...."

The year is 1929. As the world teeters on the brink of a global recession, Bletchley Park plays host to a rather special event. MI5 is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and a select band of former and current employees are gathering for a weekend of music, dance, and heavy drinking. Among them is Sir Hilary Manningham Butler, a middle-aged woman whose entire adult life has been spent masquerading as a man. She doesn't know why she has been invited - it has been many years since she left the secret service - but it is clear she is not the only one with things to hide. And when one of the other guests threatens to expose her secret, the consequences could prove disastrous for everyone.

This story has nothing to do with Bletchley Park and the wartime activities associated with it. That being said, it's a well constructed and plotted mystery. The characters are believable and most are germane to the story (with the exception of the Smiths). Not great art, but a lovely way to spend several hours.

The story is good with many twists. The "mystery" is perhaps a little thin. You would need to be paying really close attention to figure it out when the main character does. Well read. Entertaining story. Looking forward to another from Treby.

Not your usual mystery, serious but not morbid. Held my interest, surprises along the way.

Refreshingly different, highly recommend

The narrator was great. At all times I was never in doubt which character was speaking and each one was wonderfully well captured. In any fiction one must suspend belief a little bit but this novel really went off the track in the tale and lost my concern for the characters and interest in the outcome of the tale as the story went increasingly into fantasy.

Wonderfully well acted.Story a little far fetched

There are delicious twists and turns in this mansion mystery. The author narrated the book really well. I couldn't stop listening to this story. Great escapism.
