Summary

An impossible murder behind a locked door. Can DCI Oldroyd find the key to the mystery?

Lord Redmire’s gambling habit has placed him in serious debt. Determined to salvage his fortune by putting Redmire Hall on the map, the aristocrat performs an impossible locked-door illusion on live TV. But as the cameras roll, his spectacular trick goes fatally wrong....

Special guest DCI Jim Oldroyd has a front-row seat, but in all his years with the West Riding Police he’s never witnessed anything like this. He sees Redmire disappear—and then reappear, dead, with a knife in his back.

As Oldroyd and DS Stephanie Johnson soon discover, nearly everyone at the event had a reason to resent the eccentric lord. But how did the murderer get into the locked room—or out, for that matter?

When the only other person who knew the secret behind the illusion is brutally silenced, the case begins to look unsolvable. Because as Oldroyd and Johnson know, it’s not just a question of who did it and why—but how?

An easy listen.

Another outing for the Yorkshire Detectives Oldroyd and Johnson. This is a classic Locked Room mystery. There are plenty of suspects and a few red herrings thrown in the mix and although it is very guessable what has happened it still kept my interest and I didn't quite get it exactly right.
It trots along at a decent pace and kept my interest. It didn't take more than a few hours to listen to (sped up to make it a more comfortable listen).
The main character is a very old fashioned and not quite believable chap with some slightly uncomfortable prejudices and assumptions. It is understandable given how unlikeable most of the characters involved are.
The narration is not the best and not the worse.

Poor narration

The second book I have listened to with this narrator. Whilst the story is gripping and first rate I don't think I have ever heard such a poor Yorkshire accent. It makes all the characters sound as if they are old people and reflects nothing of the accents spoken by many Yorkshire friends.

A good read!

An enjoyable read. The pointless Poirot style ending spoiled it a bit for me as did mention of mathematical inprobability of their being Thunder outside at a crucial moment. But otherwise , I really enjoyed it.

Entertaining

An enjoyable book, very well performed. Kept me guessing until the end. A typically English murder mystery with well written characters.
