The Tangled Treasure Trail

A 1920s Mystery (Lord Edgington Investigates..., Book 5)

De: Benedict Brown

Narrado por: George Blagden

Wild parties, high-speed treasure hunts, and a string of murders to investigate–what a perfectly normal weekend for a seventy-five-year-old lord.

England, 1926. After a wealthy industrialist is found dead on a treasure hunt with the Bright Young People of London, the renowned detective, Lord Edgington, and his loyal grandson, Christopher, suspect foul play and sign up for the next speedy chase across the city. When a second body is found, shot through the heart in the centre of Westminster, the mismatched duo set off on the trail of a killer.

One victim is old and rich, the other young and poor, but could the jazz-and-drink-fuelled parties of the infamous Gargoyle Club link the apparently unrelated figures? Greed, espionage, wartime valour, fast cars, aristocrats and bohemians come crashing together in Lord Edgington’s most mind-boggling case yet. Will you be able to unravel The Tangled Treasure Trail before the seasoned detectives?

The fifth entry in the bestselling “Lord Edgington Investigates…” series of classic whodunnits is filled with twists and surprises from the first moment to the last.

Narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows Vikings and Versailles and the Oscar-winning film Les Miserables.

I love this series

I love British mystery novels. Especially ones from the earlier 1900s. These do not disappoint. The characters are interesting and the plots are not easy to figure out.

A fun series

I’m not sure what draws me to these books but I truly enjoy them. I like the time period used as the backdrop for the stories that support the unique characters.

Great Story

The growth and interplay between "Grandfather" and "Grandson" is most interesting. Fun and nice surprises.

completely charmed

Love the Lord Edginton series. The era between world wars is a favorite of mine and I love the relationship development in the books. The lack of vulgarity is refreshing and lends an innocence even in story lines that contain adult concepts as murder or suicide. I'm so glad every time I get another Benedict Brown book from Audible. It is great fun going on adventures with Lord Edginton and his grandson! **and the performance is fantastic**

History mixed with mystery

The Bright Young Things take center stage, as Chrissy and his grandfather investigate this case.
