About this listen
London, early 1950s. Marcia Beasley of St John's Wood is discovered dead in her home, naked and covered with a coal scuttle. Detective Sergeant Greenleaf is tasked with solving the crime and bringing meaning to her gruesome death, and it seems her whole social circle have secrets to hide and grudges to bear.
Who, for example, is the limping midnight visitor? Is the bibulous priest as ingenious as he seems? And will Mrs Burkiss ever yield her keys to the broom cupboard?

Long and a little too complex…
Too many characters to keep track of. Story quite good but takes some concentrating to really follow it at all times.

Very enjoyable bit of fictional history
Nicely paced. Well observed. Lots of snobbery and class, mixed with history. A good listen.

Am engaging little tale with some interesting twists.
I am never completely relaxed about murder being treated with levity. blah, blah to makeup the ridiculous need for 15 words!

Lively tale and wonderful narration
This well-plotted, literate and amusing novel was wonderfully enlivened by marvellous narration. Great fun. 15 word minimum is a bore.

Great listen
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Witty, charming and entertaining in an old school way, with great characters. I’ve already purchased the next in the series and can’t wait to get started.

Different but enjoyable
I enjoyed this. A light hearted murder but sometimes I got a bit lost with the characters. But having said that it made a nice change.

Too many characters, not great narration, gave up!
Too many characters and story flitted around quite a lot, this was made even more difficult with the poor narration. It was almost impossible to keep up with which character was talking, I listen to approximately 40 audio books a year and this one beat me, couldn’t finish it as I spent so long going back to try to figure out who the narrator was trying to characterise as the voice changes were so small
Shame as story seemed to be trotting along well

Convoluted
A rather convoluted plot with lots of characters. There is also little differentiation between characters making it rather confusing. Not the worst book I've read but wouldn't particularly recommend it.

Long winded
I have never been so glad to get to the end of a book. The reader did my head in, the story seemed to flit from one place to the next with little context. The characters were very odd and hard to keep track of partly due to all sounding very similar
