Death on a Summer's Day

A 1920s Mystery (Lord Edgington Investigates..., Book 3)

De: Benedict Brown

Narrado por: George Blagden

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.

Witty and fun

Characters are
Witty and engaging. Not Agatha Christy mystery plot but its own type of cozy muder

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.
