From deep in the heart of his 18th century English manor, millionaire Sir Adrian Beauclerk-Fisk writes mystery novels and torments his four spoiled children with threats of disinheritance. Gathering them all together for a family dinner, he announces his latest blow - a secret elopement. Within hours, eldest son and appointed heir Ruthven is found cleaved to death by a medieval mace.

There’s a literary niche for all tastes including those who think that either Agatha Christie wasn’t funny enough or that PG Wodehouse didn’t feature anywhere near as many baffling murders as he could have. The Case of the Canterfell Codicil is a classic, cozy, locked-room mystery written in the style of an homage to PG Wodehouse.

While hot on the heels of serial coupon-racketeer Gordon Ginner, Chief Inspector MacDonald of Scotland Yard receives word of an intriguing incident up in Lancashire – the summer cottage of local farmer Giles Hoggett has been broken into, with an assortment of seemingly random items missing which include a complete reel of salmon line, a large sack, and two iron dogs from his fireplace. What first appears as a simple break-in quickly spirals into a mystery of contested land grabs for fishing between farmers, made all the more enticing to MacDonald when a body is then found in the river.

Publisher's summary
To celebrate their engagement, DCI Arthur St. Just and Portia De’Ath visit the quiet village of Maidsfell in Cornwall. Upon arriving, they find the villagers in an uproar over plans to redevelop the local seafront.
The fishermen want to build a new slipway to aid their business, but many residents worry it will spoil the view for the tourists who help drive the economy. After a heated village meeting on the issue, St. Just overhears an argument involving Lord Bodwally, an unpopular aristocrat staunchly opposed to the plans. Later, Bodwally’s lifeless body is discovered. It’s murder.
Although Bodwally was disliked, who’d go so far as to kill him? St. Just, although an outsider from Cambridge, feels compelled to help local authorities investigate. Is Bodwally’s death linked to the seafront, his suspect business dealings, or a secret from the past? One thing is certain: The fallout threatens to change Maidsfell forever.

Auntie Poldi can think of no finer place to wait for death than Sicily. All she asks is a sea view, fine wine (and plenty of it), and her family close around. When death instead takes her handsome young friend Valentino - and under mysterious circumstances at that - Poldi will not take it lying down. Perhaps it's in her blood, but Auntie Poldi's hunting instincts have never felt more alive. Justice must be served - if it's the last thing she does....

Terrible narrator ruining the story
Decent story but narrator using horrible voices ruins it. I bought the two stories with this narrator before I heard one. I have only gotten a third of the way through and thinking of asking for a refund. Then buy the book to read rather than listen.

I wish we didn’t have to wait so long between books. I love this series. This one is as good as the others. Intelligently written. The characters are complete and the mystery is well crafted. It held me to the end. Hated for it to be over.

cringy narration and juvenile characters
I liked the first 3 books of this series but this one missed the mark. The narrator of the first 3 books was great, new narrator did a horrible job, The voices are obnoxious and weird and the rhythm is totally odd. Turthermore, the content has shifted the likeable, interesting characters from the first 3 books into immature people sounding like mean junior high school girls (even the male characters). I doubt I'll finish it and definitely won't get the next one in the series (same narrator)

Terrible narration and not funny at all
I absolutely loved the first three in this series and was so excited for this one! Unfortunately, with the new narrator, it was painful to listen to. The narrator only has two voices, her normal voice and then a near growl. Everything St. Just says sounds like he's angry at everyone and super judgmental and haughty, and everything everyone else said- even the woman with the "melodious voice" - was said like a woman trying to sound like a man with a big secret and failing miserably. Now I wonder if it wasn't just Davina Porter I liked more than G.M. Malliet. The first three were narrated by Porter and were an absolute delight! This? Ugh. I'm returning it and I'm not even finishing it.

This narrator is disappointing
This narrator isn’t nearly as good as the narrator of the previous books in this series. Her pacing didn’t vary from character to character, or whether it was a stroll on the beach or a life or death battle. The voices didn’t seem to suit the characters very well either, or express a range of emotion. the story held my attention. If this narrator had read the first audio book of this series I probably wouldn’t have gone on to the second.

Where is Arrhur?
This narrator spoiled any attempt to enjoy this novel. She makes our hero sound like an angry old man. Where is our dashing hero? I could not finish this book. Where is Davinna Porter when you need her or find someone who is more competent. I am returning this book.

Terrible narrator, boring story
As others have said, narration is awful. St Just sounds like someone’s crotchety old uncle, Morwenna and Moose have exactly the same voice, and everyone speaks with the same odd cadence. The quality of Malliet’s storytelling varies a lot but I have enjoyed some of her books a great deal. This was not one of them. Please bring back Davina Porter!!
