About this listen

Anty travels to the Riviera to finally have that awkward "did you murder my father" conversation with his mother, but instead finds himself in the ticklish position of defending her and an innocent elephant against charges of a murder that no one could have committed.

Like all Anty Boisjoly mysteries, Reckoning at the Riviera Royale is a stand-alone stumper populated with eccentric characters and composed of impossible murder and improbable intrigues, delivered with signature Boisjoly banter, and it’s best enjoyed by those who like a little humor in their whodunnit.

Anty Boisjoly is a serious experiment in a whimsical line—Christie-esque locked-room mysteries written in the style of PG Wodehouse. The reviews are in and the experiment is a success. Listeners emphasize in particular the witty and whimsical first-person voice of Anty Boisjoly narrating the nevertheless twisty mysteries.

Perfectly read and a fabulous story. I love these books, woodhousesque, fab plots and great characters!

Always funny!

Another enjoyable few hours spent in the company of Anty and Vickers. As usual the mystery is bonkers and Byzantine in just the right proportions. I missed the Inspector, but Anty’s mother was everything we’d hoped she would be!

Better and better!

More time well spent with the loveable Anty Boisjoly (like the wine region) and the wonderfully 'idle rich' of the1920's. This series is a joy to lose yourself in, thanks to the hilariously written characters, bonkers murder plots and the consistently excellent audio performance of Tim Bryce. Plus, the addition of MaMA Boisjoly is a joy.

I have binged all 5 of these books in 6 days. Fantastic! Just love the style, the characters, the lot! But the thing that has made me pen this review is the description of the storm on the Riviera, pure poetry!

What a storm!

I didn't enjoy this story quite as much as the other three but the narrator was as brilliant as ever and I love the characters

Good fun

Great fun, good characters, tall tales & unlikely twists… Hope Audible has the next story soon! The narrator is spot on and you can really hear the echoes of young Bertie Wooster in every one-liner.

I’m hooked!

I’m quite addicted to this series, I like listening to the books when on long drives as they are easy and fun.
This book did not disappoint me, the setting on the French Riviera was lovely, but compared to the previous ones it was a bit confusing and the story too far fetched.

Light entertainment

Enjoyed just as much as the other titles by this author. Outstanding narration. Highly recommended.

Oh Mr Fitzsimmons you’ve done it again. Absolutely fabulous twist and turns with some gorgeous characters. So hope there are lots more of Anty and his antics.

What do you get if you cross the wit of PD Wodehouse, the ingenuity of Agatha Christie & the characterisation of Dorothy L Sayers? The magnificent mysteries* of Anty Boisjoly that’s what.

Another cracking case solved with the dulcet tones of the talented Tim Bruce. There are very few characters who I wish were real and who I wish I could meet: Hercule Poirot & Lord Peter Wimsey have always been up there… But now, how I’d love to spend an afternoon at The Juniper Club with Mr Boisjoly! Well done PJ Fitzsimmons!

*My only issue in earlier books is the use of Americanisms that just don’t sit right (sidewalk is a frequent one,) unless they’re being used in an ironic way & I’m missing the joke? Hasn’t stopped my enjoyment of the series though.

Boisjoly Brilliance at its Best!
