Summary
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.

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.

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.

Couldn't finish this audiobook
Very rarely do I return a book without finishing it. There were too many characters, and I didn't warm to any of them apart from Rosie. The narrator didn't manage to differentiate sufficiently between the various characters. The plot was convoluted. In the end I couldn't be bothered to keep going to the end, and find out who the murderer was. I won't be reading anything else by this author.

Just like an Agatha Christie Novel!
This book read so well and made me feel the same type of fondness that I feel with Agatha Christie stories. Absolutely worth a read/ listen all the way through.

Different approach
Once I got used to the style of writing I enjoyed the book. It gave great detail of each character similar to Agatha Christie

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
