Resumen del Editor

August 1911. Emily Hardcastle and her inimitable lady’s maid Florence Armstrong are enjoying a fine summer until Harry, Lady H’s brother, turns up out of the blue with a mystery for them to solve.

A routine parachute test at a local aeroplane factory has gone horribly wrong - with pilot Dickie Dupree plummeting to his death. Harry is certain there is more to this ‘tragic accident’ than meets the eye, having discovered that someone at the airfield is leaking top secret intelligence to foreign rivals.

In between strolls to the Dog & Duck and planning for the annual village show, the daring duo dust off the Crime Board and go undercover at Bristol Aviation. With international powers investing heavily in aeronautics, the stakes are high - sky high - and the suspects soon mount up.

Can Lady Hardcastle find the culprit before someone else falls down dead?

Reseñas de la Crítica

Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award

“This audiobook should have come with a warning: Listen at your own risk. If others try to pause it, you may snap their heads off in frustration. As Lady Hardcastle and her lady's maid, Flo, return to spying for England in the summer of 1911, narrator Elizabeth Knowelden enhances the story full of witticisms and a clever plot by immersing listeners in the lives of these two characters. Listeners will catch Flo's excitement as she discovers that her newest job requires investigation at an airfield where someone was recently killed.” --AudioFile Magazine

Thoroughly Entertaining!

Another great entry in this wonderful series.The narrator is excellent and brings the story and characters to life. Looking forward to the next book.

comfy cozy

This series is cognitive and auditory Lindor Truffles. And, if I can just remember to quote the author's quips - I will surely get laughs.

Again, this series earns my auditory and cognitive Lindor Truffles award.

Perfect As Always

Another hit and wonderful mystery story; and Elizabeth Knowelden just makes it even better!!! I can’t wait for the next one, will be listening to this over and over again (just like all the others in this series)

Another fabulous addition to the series!

Great plot, great characters, wonderful balance of mystery, danger and laugh out loud humor.

I’m not sure I could enjoy these books nearly as much if anyone but Elizabeth Knowelden narrated them! She is utter perfection and whatever she’s paid for her work should be doubled!

Can’t wait for the next adventure! 💕💕💕

Fun as ever

Though I find all the Lady Hardcastle mysteries a fun listen, this one has a little more oomph to it. I have long been interested in Lady H and Flo's undercover skulduggery and this feels like a taste. I am also interested to see how the events of 'next April' will touch our feisty team. I really hope this series continues (it has shown no signs of stopping, but I suppose a series like this could stop any time).

Love the Dialogue

A time when aero planes were a novelty, Lady Hardcastle and Flo spy on the goings-on at the English aero plane development hangers, to discover financial inconsistencies and a death.
As usual they enjoy themselves on this adventure.
I enjoy the British ways of speaking of the “upper” class without there being any discrimination of other classes.

Another lovely installment.

I could read this series forever. I just love the characters and the history lessons!

Narrator is wonderful

Lots of twists and turns. This has been a most enjoyable series thus far. You won't be disappointed by this aged employer and her tiny servant.

Well Done!!

Another entertaining and well done, enjoyable story! Love the Nanette and repartee between Hardcastle and Armstrong. Great narration!

He does it again!

T E Kinsey is a genius. His characters are like friends who you can’t wait to get together with because they are so witty and fun. I can’t wait to listen to it again!
