About this listen
The women of Thrana Hall are holding an all-school reunion. Classmate Jessica Vogel is hated by most of the attendees, but when she's pushed down the steps of an old spooky tower, Private Detective Milo Rathkey is pulled into the investigation.
Is the murder tied to a fatal accident 12 years earlier, an old school grudge, or did the victim's penchant for blackmail get her killed?
Milo's brain keeps telling him something is not right, but he has to wait until the back of his brain talks to the front of his brain.
©2019 Harvey Goldberg (P)2019 Harvey GoldbergBut he still enjoyed being a special consultant to the police so, when a woman is found dead, possibly murdered, Milo's help was requested. There had been a high school reunion and the dead woman had been hated by everyone attending, accused by some of causing the death of a much loved young girl years before. Meanwhile, Sutherland, the other half of the inheritance, had unearthed a mystery from his father's childhood, and Milo had been persuaded to allow a wedding to take place in the beautiful grounds. Not to mention tennis ...
D.B.Elrogg has created a superb slice of life rather than a straightforward murder mystery, with well developed characters living full lives throughout. And great characters, too, quirky, great conversation and quips, and real life activities, hopes and pleasures, everything intertwined to weave a rich, warm tapestry thread through with mystery and crime confusion and humour. Superb.
As, too, is the narration by Tom Lennon, whose pleasant tones follow the text, and voices the protagonists, with empathy and panache - never over played, just right. Together, author and narrator make this a book of sheer enjoyment so that it is hard to say goodbye.
Another soon, please.
Highly recommended

Milo is a retired pi but he still consults for the police when needed. He retired when he came into an unexpected inheritance that made him a millionaire and gave him the run of Lake song. Sutherland is a workaholic and when he gets pushed out the door to take a much needed holiday by his secretary he had no idea he would be spending the week helping Milo investigate a murder. The pairs housekeeper is attending a school reunion that she isn't looking forward, mainly because a friend died and it was never cleared up if it was a murder. Then the suspect is found dead at the bottom of the stairs where the first death took place and everybody becomes a suspect because no body liked her and all had there own reason to kill her. Back at Lake song things are gearing up for a unexpected wedding, the granddaughter of a local mob boss needs a venue for her wedding at very short notice and Milo finds himself offering up Lake song, his house manger and cook. Will a mob boss let a little thing like a murder get in the way of the big day? Or the fact that he wasn't invited? With bike riding, magazine interviews, secret tunnels to investigate, and a tennis match can Milo figure out who killed Jessica. With alibi's changing and lies being told is it one of the guest from the reunion Or is there really a hit man in the area?
The narrator was okay but I did find it hard sometimes to work out which character was talking, as there wasn't really much change in voices and there was a lot of characters.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Fun reunion, well until the murder
