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.

Cj Archer has such a way with mysteries and being able to keep you engaged throughout…..also…finally! IYKYK

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.

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, they kissed, and it is moving forward.I have been waiting for this for many books and I look forward to the next one.

As I said, I love that the book finally got them together.And that they are loving each other and planning the future and are still going to be detectives.

Excellent excellent excellent!

I love the mystery, the intrigue, and the fact that the author can tell the story without all the unnecessary cussing and sex. what a refreshing story that is about great writing!
I can’t wait till the next one

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.

Enjoyable Story

This particular book was lighthearted and told sone truth for the mid 1800’s. I adore the Cleopatra Fox series. Its worth the read

Loved the storyline.

The manner in which the author handles describing addiction was appreciated. However, some of the story line seemed “not as it would have been historically”

This was not as predictable as the last 2 were with lots of twists and turns.

Loved this listen. Waiting for December.

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.

Finally!

So happy to see the story of Cleo and Harry continue. I love this series and wish we didn’t have to wait 6 months for the next book. Please continue to write this series CJ. Amazing series.
