Murder at Hambledon Hall

Cleopatra Fox Mysteries, Book 10

De: C. J. Archer

Narrado por: Marian Hussey

The genteel tranquility of a country house party is shattered when the gamekeeper is shot. Was his death the result of his recent indiscretions, or long-buried secrets?

The weekend was supposed to be an enjoyable time with her family at the neo-Gothic manor of Lord and Lady Kershaw, but when the gamekeeper is murdered, Cleo can’t rest until the killer is caught. As a witness herself, she’s frustrated with the incompetence of the local police who lay the blame on a man who conveniently disappeared. When she realizes their ineptitude is a result of Lord Kershaw’s influence, she focuses her investigation on the earl and his family, against the wishes of her uncle.

The arrival of her suspects at the Mayfair Hotel allows Cleo to continue the investigation after the country house party ends, but what she discovers unnerves her. The gamekeeper’s reputation for seducing young women has left a trail of broken hearts, from the lowest maid to the highest lady. But could there be another reason for his murder?

Meanwhile, the hotel staff have secrets of their own to hide. As loyalties are tested on several fronts, Cleo needs her friends more than ever if she is to unravel the mysteries, both old and new.

I enjoy this series a lot!

I have enjoyed this series and look forward to the next book. I love the Audible and this has been my favorite so far.

Cleo is a hero!

this series has all the right elements and the reader is extraordinary -voices areao distinct. Plus Cleo is my hero and it's exciting that she might be getting some love action soon...

Finally!!

So happy that Cleo and Harry’s relationship has moved forward. I was getting so tired of the back and forth re: their feelings for each other. Also enjoyed the story and the realization who murdered the gamekeeper.

The Book I've Been Waiting For

This series just keeps getting better. The characters are ever developing. The mystery is complex, even though I did have the who, why, and how figured out about 2/3 through. It took nothing from my enjoyment of the book, and there were still some surprises to come. My only disappointment is that I now must wait another 6 months for my next visit with Cleo, Harry, and the other wonderful characters at the Mayfair Hotel.

Marian Hussey does an excellent job bringing these characters to life.

Finally

Best one yet. Worth the credit or money. Well written and some moving forward in certain areas of Cleo’s life.

I absolutely love this series!!!

The stories are so well written and I love the slow build romance. Another hit from CJ and its going to absolutely kill me to wait another 6 months for the next book, but im so happy the series is continuing!

I Knew It!!

Its about time!! I just knew that Cleo was finally going to fold. I was giggling during the family tea session with Harry, Cleo and his family. I love this series. I love it so much it only takes about 24-28 hours for me to listen to the book completely. I am looking forward to seeing whats going happen later. I can't wait!!

Love this series!

This was another great book I. This series. I love the progression of Harry and Leo’s relationship! I can’t wait until the next book!

The narrator is superb!

Ms. Hussey (spell) could read the directions to assemble a rocket and I would be first in line. Great story... I figured it out too soon though. Ms. Archer keeps me entertained!

Soooo good.

Have been waiting for another Cleo and Harry investigation and it doesn’t disappoint. Exactly what I hoped for and impatiently waiting for the finale.
