The Birdcage Murders

Heathcliff Lennox Investigates

De: Karen Baugh Menuhin

Narrado por: Sam Dewhurst-Phillips

Murder, Mystery and a dog of distinction

Book 8 in the Heathcliff Lennox series.

Major Heathcliff Lennox is called in, along with ex Detective Inspector Swift, to help the police investigate a macabre death. The dead man is Lord De Ruyter, a man inextricably linked to the notorious Birdcage Murders.

Nothing is as it appears, witnesses to De Ruyter's murder are not the strangers they purport to be, everyone present had a reason to be there and it all relates to the Birdcage Murders.

Major Heathcliff Lennox—ex WW1 war pilot, 6' 3", tousled dark blond hair, age around 30—named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother—much to his great annoyance.

A+++

The Birdcage Murders is a fantastic addition to Karen Baugh Menuhin's Heathcliff Lennox Investigates series - I was kept guessing until the denouement, and was actually a little surprised, lol! Narrator Sam Dewhurst-Phillips IS Lennox, and I eagerly anticipate each new audio release in one of my fave cozy series. Not only is he Lennox, however, he's everyone else, too - he perfectly embodies each and every character. I can't recommend this book and series, and especially the Audible version, enough!!! A+++

So many twists and turns!

I love this series!!! And the narrator is outstanding! I’d love to see this come to the silver screen! And I’ll keep one clicking anything in this series. Can’t recommend it enough!

Full cast or just great narration?

Because of bad narration I have several unfinished books on Audible. That’s never going to be a problem with a book read by Sam Dewhurst-Phillips. I doubt you can find anyone out there that does voices better.
Karen Baugh Menuhin’s writing is remarkable. I find myself completely engrossed with the story, as well as chuckling with the humor found in almost each chapter. The Birdcage Murders is one more gem in the series. Spoil yourself and get all the books. You will not regret that decision.

Great Fun

All the gang are back and in great form. The story is engaging but not the best of the series. Sam Dewhurst Phillips is a wonder bringing life and great charm to all the characters.

Unique crime and Lennox at his best

Love this series! Best narration I’ve ever experienced. Vivid and unusual main character brought to life by Sam in every book. (Don’t miss his backstory in Heathcliff Lennox 1918!). I honestly only tolerate the murder trope in these books as it is necessary for the characters and settings I do truly enjoy. But this time the crime was so startling and unique that I was astounded. Evil and brilliant. A really good read!

Great stories, AMAZING narrator!!

These are intelligent, engrossing books with a perfect combination of history, humor and atmosphere. And the narrator, Sam Dewhurst Phillips, is the best of the best! He captures Lennox's personality perfectly, and does a fantastic job with the other characters. When is A Wreath of Red Roses going to be released??

A great listen.

The Heathcliff Lenox series are just a fun great listen. I have loved every book in the series. Sam Dewhurst Philips does such an excellent job at narration. I especially love the sound effects. Thank you Karen Menuhin for these intriguing fun mysteries.

Great storyline good mystery behind it

Best mystery I think thus far. I didn't see it coming. My only complaint as always, is why Lenox has such a short fuse. it's exhausting. Every interaction he has with anyone results in his being frustrated or short with the person he is speaking with. There's no way I could be friends with the guy. All the "alpha" male characters in the books are written that way and I don't understand if the author thinks that's what it takes to be an alpha male or if she thinks that's how alpha males all interact. I really wish that would change because I love the stories and think Karen is a great mystery writer.

Most excellent narrator

This series always has great episodes but what makes it superb is the incredible narration.

Best one yet

This the best of the Heathcliff Lennox series so far. Ms. Menuhin is becoming a modern Agatha Christie.
