The Case of the Case of Kilcladdich

Anty Boisjoly Mysteries, Book 6

By: PJ Fitzsimmons

Narrated by: Tim Bruce

Length: 6 hrs and 6 mins

Publisher's summary

In The Case of the Case of Kilcladdich, golden-age gadabout Anty Boisjoly travels to the timeless source waters of Glen Glennegie to help decide the fate of his family’s favourite ferment, but an impossible locked room murder is only one of a multitude of mysteries that try Anty’s wits and witticisms to their northern limit.

Time trickles down on the traditional tipple as Anty unravels family feuds, ruptured romance, shepherdless sheep, and a series of suspiciously surfacing secrets to sort out who killed whom and how and why and who might be next to die.

Tim Bruce returns as ever-optimistic Anty, his heirloom valet Vickers, and two entire Scottish villages, sheep included, and manages to keep everyone distinct and distilled and delightful, even after the whisky kicks in during a golf match which is hilarious on paper but which Tim raises to a pro tour de force.

The Case of the Case of Kilcladdich is another stand-alone, locked room puzzler for those who like a little kidding in their killing and mirth in their mystery, and wouldn’t object one bit to a conspiracy between Agatha Christie and PG Wodehouse.

so fun

I think this is the funniest Anty story yet. The mystery was pretty good too. enjoy!

The wit and humor of the writing is paired perfectly with the narrator!

As were all of the other Anty Boisjoly mysteries, this was a delightful romp. This time Anty travels to solve a mystery regarding two rival highland whisky distilleries. Accompanied by sheep, Anty solves not one but several mysteries and charms even the London-despising policeman and ends a long standing feud. In short, another triumph for P. J. Fitzsimmons and Tim Bruce.

I love Anty!

I enjoy Anty Boisjoly mysteries and couldn’t wait for this next installment. The narration was excellent and I found myself laughing out loud a few times. I gave the story a 3 out of 5 because it was at times difficult to follow with all the poetic rhyming, witty cynicism, and play on words. I had to rewind several times to get the gist of some passages. However, I still highly recommend the series. It’s light and very entertaining.

Another amazing tale in the Anty Boisjoly series

I loved this. I could hardly concentrate on work because I kept listening to the story. Which is told by no one like he can read it, Tim Bruce. The witty alliterations and clever mysteries keep me coming back for more! I actually laugh out loud which is not a euphemism, it’s quite literal. My favorite historical mystery series.

All I can say is “more please”

This series takes me away and is so much fun. Tim Bruce is an incredible narrator. PJ Fitzsimmons has a fabulous gift as a writer. Thank both of you for the pleasure you provide.

Loved it!

My only complaint is that it was too short and that the next one isn’t available yet. Can we speed that up any?

Terrific fun

Superb narration of tricky text. Good example of a book that is far more entertaining to listen to than to read. For me, at least. It’s not really a locked room mystery at all, but more a rambling encounter between Anty and another group of eccentrics. This time in Scotland. With golf involved. And a lot of whiskey.

An absolute delight

It is fun. It is intelligent. It is highly entertaining. It is elegantly written and witty. It is excellently performed. And this goes for all PJF’s books in this series on Audible. I hope the next two books I belive already to be written, is published in Audible very, very soon. Thank you to writer P J Fitzsimmons and star narrator Tim Bruce.
