World-renowned adventuress Beryl Helliwell cited for "reckless" motoring? Why, the very idea! Constable Gibbs just has it in for her. The solution? Charm the magistrate, of course. But days after Beryl's appearance before the bench, she and Edwina pay a visit to the magistrate only to find his home ransacked and the man himself lying dead at the bottom of a grand staircase. Given the state of the house, his death appears to be connected to a rash of robberies in the village.

Studying the business and art of distilling whisky at Abbey Glen and volunteering at the Shepherd’s Rest women’s shelter in her spare time seem a surefire way to find the peace and stability she craves.

Publisher's Summary
A 1920s murder mystery - death in the desert with intrigue, adventure, and a dog of distinction.
There's a damsel in distress and accusations of attempted murder flying around, but it's not in the comfortable confines of the English countryside; it's in the very distant city of Damascus.
Lennox must go and investigate, although he's not too keen on exotic locations, and his old retainer Greggs is distinctly averse to the very idea. Nevertheless, ex-Chief Inspector Swift persuades them, and they reach the ancient city to discover a movie crew, a spy, and a couple of mysterious ladies.
Nobody seems to be telling the truth. They all have secrets, and there's one secret in particular that's drawn them like bees to the honeypot. But what is it? And then, there's murder, and mysteries from the ancient past and a handsome sheik who remains in the shadows.
Heathcliff Lennox and Swift must investigate and use all their ingenuity to unravel the enigma that lies hidden deep below the dusty streets of ancient Damascus.
Major Heathcliff Lennox is an ex-WW 1 war pilot, six feet and three inches, unruly dark blond hair, age around 30 - named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother - much to his great annoyance. Death in Damascus is the fourth book in the Lennox series.

Not bad, not bad
I have enjoyed listening to this and the other Heathcliff Lennox books with a MAJOR exception. Especially in Death in Damascus, and especially towards the end of the book, the grammar practically falls apart. It is advised that the editor/author brush up on the difference between "lie" and "lay", and remember that "I" is subjective and "me" is objective! These egregious errors are like fingernails on a blackboard to me and are particularly surprising as the first two books seemed to be free of these errors.
All that being said, I'm looking forward to book 5.

Another Engaging Heathcliff Lennox Mystery
I love the characters, plot and narrative in the book even more than the first three in the series. The setting in Damascus of 1921 provides for an interesting backdrop and Ms Menuhin has managed to evoke another era with great charm. I can't wait for the next book.

Favorite series, yes I mean that.
I love every character here. I love that Lennox isn’t perfect and has his awkward moments, even though he always finds the answers. Swift is the serious detective, and Lennox is his balance getting him to slow down and curb impulsive conclusions... or to take a cup of tea and cake. And then there’s the bit of romance to the adventure: what’s next for Persie and Lennox (not Heathcliff, old stick). Add a butler, a hunting dog who hates dead things, and a dead actress in Damascus, and you have the latest adventure.
Sam Dewhurst-Phillips makes this series perfect. I always here a distinct individual character in my mind as he narrates. I never have a question as to which character is speaking in dialogue. I don’t hear slips in dialect or loss of a character’s voice or reading as the wrong character as I do with some readers. I could listen to him narrate all day...and have when binge listening!

Love this Series
This is such a fun series....for me it's a little reminiscent of PG Wodehouse ; the Jeeves & Wooster escapades. I'm looking forward to the 5th book already. I also appreciate the historical research Ms. Menuhin adds to her books. And the narration is SUPERB. Highly recommend.

Another gem featuring Heathcliff Lennox
Love this and all other books by Karen Menuhin. Can't wait till her new book is available on Audible as it wouldn't be the same without the incredible narration by Sam Dewhurst Phillips.

Another great adventure with daring do
Yet again a triumph of fast paced story from Karen Baugh Menuhin superbly performed by Sam Dewhurst-Phillips.
Sam Dewhurst-Phillips Is now in my top 5 performers on Audible. He brings the series to life in such a deeply engaging way it is almost impossible to believe that there are not multiple actors playing the parts.
Also the characters are such fun and feel so real. And a special mention to Mr Fogg.

Excellent Narrator and Writer
The Heathcliff Lennox series of books are very entertaining. The narrator is excellent and really brings the stories to life.
If you like a well written 1920's 'Who dunnit' then this is the series of books for you. Highly recommend.

Delightful.
I have loved these books. The narrators voice is just perfect, so talented. The little dog and cat are a joy. Heathcliffe, Swift and Greggs are endearing characters. Thank you Karen Menuhin. Your books have been an absolute pleasure to listen to.

Like your mysteries cozy and set during the Golden Age of Crime? This is the first audiobook in the Posie Parker mysteries, although this novel can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story in its own right. Set in London in 1921, Murder Offstage is full of intrigue and red herrings. When Posie Parker’s childhood friend is robbed of a priceless jewel and becomes a suspect in a cold-blooded murder case, budding detective Posie vows she will clear his name.

It's the end of the roaring twenties, and the exuberant and Honourable Phryne Fisher is dancing and gaming with gay abandon. But she becomes bored with London and the endless round of parties. In search of excitement, she sets her sights on a spot of detective work in Melbourne, Australia. And so mystery and the beautiful Russian dancer, Sasha de Lisse, appear in her life. From then on it's all cocaine and communism until her adventure reaches its steamy end in the Turkish baths of Little Lonsdale Street.

England, 1920. Eleanor Swift has spent the last few years travelling the world: taking tea in China, tasting alligators in Peru, escaping bandits in Persia and she has just arrived in England after a chaotic 45-day flight from South Africa. Chipstone is about the sleepiest town you could have the misfortune to meet. But then, from the edge of a quarry, through the driving rain, Eleanor is shocked to see a man shot and killed in the distance. Before she can climb down to the spot, the villain is gone and the body has vanished.
