Resumen del Editor

A majestic road trip across England filled with stunning landscapes, incredible sights, and the odd dead body along the way.

Lord Edgington and his grandson (along with a surprising number of servants) are going on a summer holiday. Setting off in their convoy of luxury cars, there are wonders to behold and mysteries to uncover. But when they arrive at the Lake District for a reunion with old friends, a tragedy from decades earlier hangs over the dilapidated Chandos Grove estate. After a member of the party is murdered, it will take the legendary investigator's every last wit to catch the killer and solve a mystery that has haunted him for fifty years.

Death on a Summer's Day is another funny and fast-moving 1920s murder mystery full of quirky characters and twisting plots. An Agatha Christie-style whodunit featuring a dash of Downton Abbey and a detective duo with heart and humor, the third book in the Lord Edgington Investigates… series will charm and surprise you from the very first minute.

Narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows Vikings and Versailles and the Oscar-winning film Les Misérables.

Successfully Entertaining.

Another enjoyable mystery novel by Mr. Brown which includes twists and turns, fascinating characters, and interesting detail from his historical research, making the characters and events match the time period entertainingly. George Blagden’s reading brings the characters and events to life effectively.

Excellent in everyway

Those of you who are Heathcliff Lennox fans, you will love these series. I could not press the pause button for some reason. Cant wait for the next books to be available on Audible. The problem with these books is that you never know what to get next because the bar is set so high.

A+++

Another absolutely charming Lord Edgington and Chrissy mystery - lots and lots of suspects, and great connection between the old and new mysteries to solve! As always, fantastic narration!!! A+++

An amazing grandfather and grandson duo!

A retired Scotland Yard Chief Inspector grandfather, continues to search out murderers while training his young grandson to continue his work. A great family duo. Great stories and narrator.

Wonderfully dry sense of humor.

I love the relationship between Chrissy and his grandfather, Lord Edgington. The writing is witty and fun with a little murder to boot. I want to say, specifically, the narrator George Blagden has great comic timing and I love the way he portrays the characters. His timing and articulation are excellent.

Witty and fun

I read the first book in the series and thought it was OK. Each one gets better and better. The narrator is fabulous switching between the hapless teenaged Christopher and the brilliant and erudite Lord Eddington without skipping a beat. A very fun series.

Enjoyable listen

I have been thoroughly enjoying this series. They are light and humorous with a zip of murder and mystery. Keep it up BB and continue to use Blagden as your narrator. He does a wonderful job! Thank you.

Wonderful fun and cozy mystery

I love these books. I hope Mr. Brown writes a very, very long series of these entertaining stories.

Stately old and chubby youngster solve crimes.

I love the complicated mysteries, the huge cast of suspects that I can choose from, and the Grandpa/Grandson dynamics. Loved learning a bit of Lord E.'s background, And Chrissy falls in love again.
The narrator is fantastic. The author notes at the end are priceless.

Cozy and delightful

This was a delightful read. The characters are developing, the historical timeline well researched, and the mystery emitting that cozy feel as the solution is revealed. So get that hot cup of tea and dig in.
