Summary
Late October 1909, and the season of ghouls and things that go bump in the night has descended on the village of Littleton Cotterell.
Lady Hardcastle and her trusted lady’s maid, Florence, find themselves hosting a colorful cast of actors whose spooky moving picture, The Witch’s Downfall, is being shown to mark Halloween. But things take a macabre turn when the first night’s screening ends with a mysterious murder, and the second night with another.... One by one the actors turn up dead in ways that eerily echo their film.
With the police left scratching their heads, Lady Hardcastle calls upon her amateur sleuthing skills to launch an investigation, with Flo’s able assistance. Surrounded by suspects both human and supernatural, Lady Hardcastle must use a little trickery of her own to unmask the murderer.

A Picture of Murder
This is another crazy mystery brought down on Lady Hardcastel and Flow, after a lot of what seems to be mindless murders they are able to work out what is going on. Really funny and entertaining, read brilliantly again by Elizabeth Knowelden.

Excellent as always
Brilliant story, beautifully read by Elizabeth Knowelden. Great storyline, very clever. The clues came together gradually and with the usual wit and banter from Lady Hardcastle and Florence Armstrong, her trusty ladies maid. The dynamic duo never fail to entertain whilst also getting the job done. Fabulous.

Excellent!
‘A Picture of Murder’. Book four in the series. Emily Hardcastle and her maid/companion, the redoubtable, Florence Armstrong, allegedly live in quiet retirement, in the Gloucestershire village of Littleton Cotterell. However, the duo, who had a previous existence working for the British Secret Service, often find themselves sleuthing. Halloween, and a travelling cinematograph show arrives, complete with a quartet of actors, to show a film called, “The Witches Downfall”. A series of murders occur, mimicking the deaths in the terrifying script. Adeptly written characters, great dialogue, that often had me laughing out loud, the plot’s twists and turns, reminiscent of Lady Hardcastle’s driving, all make this a hugely enjoyable read. It was also a nice touch to have longer snippets of Lady Hardcastle and Flo’s history together. Looking forward to the next book.

Not as good as the others
I love all the Lady Hardcastle mysteries but this was my least favourite. The dialogue dragged on at times, losing my attention.

Really enjoyable
Another really good, enjoyable, fun story featuring Lady Emily Hardcastle and has Lady's Maid Florence Armstrong. I did guess what was going on but that didn't spoil my enjoyment at all. Elizabath Knowelden does a really good job of narrating and I look forward to more in this series.
