About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Sparkling characterisation and inventive plot from one of the best-known and beloved detective novelists of all time.

The stabbing of irascible General Sir Arthur Billington-Smith fails to stir up grief in anyone - least of all his family, which is no wonder considering the way he had treated them all during the fateful weekend. He had disinherited his son, humiliated his wife, refused to help his financially stricken nephew and made no secret of his loathing for his son's fiancée, a cabaret dancer. Inspector Harding picks his way through a mass of familial discontent to find the culprit - and find much more besides.

The worst reading for voices I’ve heard in my ten year membership!! I read another review that said that but thought I’d give it a try. Seriously it’s ridiculous and I’d love to listen to someone slightly better, I hate to be so harsh but I want to be honest

Terrible narration

The awful reading was painful to listen to. Reader’s different voices were excruciating. Shame, as Georgette Heyer books are really good.

Awful reading !

It is my favourite of all Georgette Heyer’s murder mysteries. It has everything! A clever plot, interesting, diverse characters, a nasty villain/victim whose death makes you rejoice; humour and pathos, together with a satisfying romance. A wonderful book!

I had read this novel years ago and remember it as a good, old fashioned detective novel. Sadly the audio version was ruined by dreadful narration. The straightforward narrative is good, but character voices verge on caricature, the cabaret dancer (supposedly Mexican) is particularly difficult to listen to, and distracted me from the story. I got about a third of the way through before I had to give up. Such a disappointment.
