Synopsis (from Audio Editions):
Here in this charming but ancient priory mansion, five people learn that they share the summer with a ghost – and another presence, which may turn out to be even deadlier. Things that go bump in the night take on a sinister air when they learn that a murder is committed. First published in 1932.
My thoughts:
The last time I read Georgette Heyer I said I might enjoy it more if it were audio. And I did. This was the only one of her mysteries that my library has on audio, but I'm going to request they purchase more because I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I "read" it faster listening than I have done when reading vintage mysteries, too.
There was great humor, I found myself giving a laugh here and there throughout (good thing I mostly listened when alone). I did guess the main bad guy, but not for any particular reason and that was more to the end.
I was charmed.
Hubby has read a book by Georgette Heyer, but I haven't. I'd really love to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll stick to her audio, but I'd like to read more of her books. Did your hubby like it?
ReplyDeleteJo, he really did.
