About this listen

Five years ago, Henry, Lord Glossup, was suspected of murdering his late wife. Although he was exonerated and the true murderer caught, Henry has been accused of murdering a lady again, in the same fashion. He appeals to Barnaby and Penelope for help, as does Stokes who, having been the inspector in charge of the previous case, is tasked with solving the current one. The investigators soon establish that the evidence implicating Henry is flimsy and circumstantial, and his alibi is easily verified. But that leaves them, along with the sister of the deceased, to unravel the tangled puzzle of who strangled Viola Huntingdon and was it the secret admirer she referred to only as “H”?

The story was good, mystery not too obvious and the wee Easter egg type mentions of characters from other books fun.
I have to say this audiobook was a painful listen. I didn't feel the performer was suited to the story or that their (or the directors) choice of vocal tones and inflections for some of the characters was right at all. The voices used for Barnaby and Penelope were especially bad. It was also slow. I listen to all my audiobooks at 1.25 speed and found myself repeatedly checking to see if I'd accidentally turn the speed down.
