This program includes a bonus interview with the author.

Set amid the legendary Mitford household, The Mitford Murders is a thrilling golden age-style mystery audiobook, based on a real unsolved murder, by Jessica Fellowes, author of the New York Times best-selling Downton Abbey books.

It's 1920, and Louisa Cannon dreams of escaping her life of poverty in London.

Louisa's salvation is a position within the Mitford household at Asthall Manor, in the Oxfordshire countryside. There she will become nursemaid, chaperone, and confidante to the Mitford sisters, especially 16-year-old Nancy, an acerbic, bright young woman in love with stories. But then a nurse - Florence Nightingale Shore, goddaughter of her famous namesake - is killed on a train in broad daylight, and Louisa and Nancy find themselves entangled in the crimes of a murderer who will do anything to hide their secret....

Based on an unsolved crime and written by Jessica Fellowes, author of the New York Times best-selling Downton Abbey companion books, The Mitford Murders is the perfect new audio obsession for fans of classic murder mysteries.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A real murder, a real family, and a brand new crime fiction heroine are woven together to make a fascinating, and highly enjoyable, read. I loved it." (Julian Fellowes, creator and writer of Downton Abbey and Belgravia)

"The pleasures of this English murder mystery, set in 1920, are many. Rachel Atkins's crisp performance is just right, moving the pace along without rushing and channeling everyone from nasal aristocrat to working-class copper." (AudioFile)

Loved it!!

Can’t wait to continue the series. It made me want to know more about the Milford’s too!

Very Enjoyable

The plot was interesting and the narration enjoyable. A very enjoyable way to spend a few afternoons relaxing. I recommend this book.

A bit convoluted, but still compelling

Good characters, but plot was a bit twisted. A very good book that makes me look forward to others in the series.

Best read of the year so far

The story is woven around the lives of real people in an extraordinary way. I enjoyed the book immensely and look forward to the next title in the series. The narration was very well suited to the time and place. I highly recommend this book.

Wonderful read

I didn't want to put it down! Action and adventure around every corner. I found myself holding my breath many times. I was surprised to find out how historically accurate it was.
