About this listen
If you'd seen one Leaning Tower, you'd seen them all. Hetty had seen the leaning spire at Chesterfield: the tower of Pisa was nothing so special. She was in a picky mood and had been since the start of their trip in a made-over charabanc with time-expired tires, touring Tuscany with the Outhwaites and twenty-six Senior Citizen from the Blackburn/Darwen/Bolton area, all of whom already seemed to be confused by the persistent rain in sunny Italy.
And what was happening to the Wainthropp Detective Agency with its founder gallivanting abroad? Could Geoffrey be trusted keep it ticking over? Thus Hetty fretted, not knowing that in a few short hours she would be plunged into mystery, excitement – and possible Mafia connection.

Brilliant
I absolutely adore this book!! Patricia Routledge is an incredibly talented actress, known for her exceptional performances across various mediums. Her ability to bring a character to life and captivate audiences with her passion is truly remarkable. Whether it's her stage work, television appearances, or audiobook readings, Routledge consistently delivers performances that are both powerful and engaging. Her dedication and commitment to her craft are truly commendable, and she deserves all the praise for her ability to read with such passion.

I love Patrica Routledge but Audible have done their usual
I love Patrica Routledge but Audible have done their usual lazy no listing of chapters so you don’t know where you are .. I’m not asking for each story to be listed ..that would be too helpful…. But this has numbers and you click on them and it just cuts through a story so how are we to know what chapter/story we are listening to???? I love this actress she fantastic but I find it hard to work out where I am …. She’s the detective not me .

Letdown!
What would have made Hetty Wainthropp Investigates better?
Had it not been produced in the first place.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Patricia Routlege is a fantastic narrator, however, the story lines and plot lines are the most unrealistic I have ever read or listened to. It would seem that there was not enough thought put into the writing and production of this audio collection.
What character would you cut from Hetty Wainthropp Investigates?
The vast majority of the characters were flat and lifeless apart from Hetty Wainthropp herself. Never in reality would you come in to contact with people like those characters in the book, thank goodness.
Any additional comments?
Having been employed as a criminal and civil investigator in over ten years I had never been instructed to undertake a case anywhere similar to the ones Hetty Wainthropp had been employed to do. Most PI's would cringe at the thought that people would think that's how they all work... I think I'll get a refund on this one!
