Publisher's summary

A centuries-old skeleton is discovered in a lonely Scottish Castle. It wears a crown and hides a curse. Swift, the detective friend of Major Heathcliff Lennox, now lives at Braeburn Castle, and it was he who uncovered the skeleton. As ghosts are heard and treasure-seekers appear, the murders begin. Lennox must go to Braeburn and investigate as Halloween draws near.

When is Book 4 coming out?

I've listened to all 3 books very close together and now I'm so upset that they are done. I need 3 or 10 more books to come right away! Probably my favorites in a very long time. Definitely My Cup of Tea"!

Absolutely brilliant series

This series is very well written. Lots of plot twists and turns and humour through out. The narrator is perfect for the stories, he does all of the voices so well. I can’t wait until the the next book in series is released by audible.

Excellent narration!

In the mood for a Halloween story & this fit the bill. The narrator was sheer ear candy, a male voice to remember! Will likely find the next in this series. I enjoyed the lack of gore ( mostly) as well as foul language & sex, hoping to find more like this.

Well Executed

I greatly enjoyed this little cozy mystery. It sits firmly within the conventions of its genre. Ms Menuhin breaks no new ground. But it is very well executed, and the narrator is a true joy! I was able to guess the murderer well before the end, but not as the result of clever deducing. I've long noticed that the most likely suspect in any mystery of this type is a character who is not one of the series' regulars and who serves no real purpose in the plot. I hope I haven't given away too much.

Cozy murder mystery

These stories are delightful. They tend to get a tedious at times but the humor and narration are good diversions from the story line. Recommend starting with book one of the series for all references to make sense. Recommend this book and plan to continue with the series.

A great series so far

The main character Lennox is delightful and amusing. The narrator's performance is perfect for Lennox
