The Affair of the Bloodstained Egg Cosy

By: James Anderson

Narrated by: Cornelius Garrett

Welcome to Alderley, a magnificent mansion in the heart of the West Country where a grand house party is taking place. The preparations have been made, the guests have been invited, and the staff are on hand. What could possibly go wrong? Let the entertainment begin.

The theft of the diamond necklace and the antique pistols might all be explained, but the body in the lake - that really was a puzzle. 'Don't expect me to solve anything,' Inspector Wilkens announced modestly when he arrived to sort out the unpleasantness. And at a gathering that included English aristocracy, foreign agents in disguise, a ravishing baroness, a daring jewel thief, a Texas millionaire and, of course, the imperturbable butler, it was going to take some intricate sleuthing to uncover who killed whom and why.

Absolutely Adore This Series

I read them out of order but it didn’t matter.. they are stand alone ,… and there are no spoilers,… they are refreshingly complex,. So one doesn’t get bored… Enjoying the last one with this months credit..

Many surprise twists!

First great thing about this book is the narration, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The second would be the characters themselves, and the surprise ending, I will enjoy this book for years to come!

Outstandingly entertaining

The personalities, the action, and the author's excellent sense of humor combined with a spot on narration make this outstanding entertainment. It reminded me of P. G. Wodehouse and his stories about Bertie and Jeeves. Highly recommended!

Good mystery slow starter

The mystery doesn’t start until chapter 15. Many golden age are slow starting but on my. The narrator saves the day. The characters are delightful. And the ending is twisted.

lots of fun

There's a lot going on in this, but I really enjoyed it. It reminds me of some old golden age type books. If you like that type of mystery, you'll enjoy this.
