Acerca de esta escucha
Darriby Hall is famous for entertaining busybody aristocrats, tales from distant lands, and a dead body . . . every now and then.
As Lady Darriby-Jones enjoys a spot of tea with an esteemed guest on the Darriby estate, news of a murder crashes the party, leaving her with a bitter aftertaste.
Lady Darriby-Jones knows she faces a murder investigation with a twist—the victim's a local constable, and all eyes are on the hapless and recently demoted DCI Rude Manners as the prime suspect. While Manners may have excelled at incompetence and whining, murder seems a tad ambitious for his resume.
While the town gossips, Lady Darriby-Jones dons her detective hat, ready to untangle the truth from a web of incompetence.
But in a game of cat and mouse, will she catch the killer or end up as their next target?
Join Lady Darriby-Jones in this 1920s cozy mystery, a whimsical, laughter-inducing adventure where witty sleuthing meets eccentricity galore.
