The Snows of Weston Moor

A 1920s Christmas Mystery (Lord Edgington Investigates..., Book 8)

By: Benedict Brown

Narrated by: George Blagden

A grand party in a snowbound mansion, a dead body beside the Christmas tree, and a master detective on hand to crack the case.

England, 1926. Lord Edgington and his loyal assistant embark on a Christmas holiday only for a blizzard to block their path. Forced to seek shelter, they find a remote manor where a group of famous actors are celebrating the season. But the luxurious house at Weston Moor is not the sanctuary it seems. One of its inhabitants hides a dark past and, when an intruder spoils the party, the first body falls.

Past scandals, a stolen fortune, and hidden secrets come to light as the clock ticks closer to Christmas day and the body count rises. But will the incognito sleuth, his hapless grandson, and their well-fed golden retriever be able to catch the killer before it’s time for Christmas dinner?

A warm and witty golden-age whodunit featuring a unique cast of characters, a cunning conclusion and plenty of Christmas cheer. “The Snows of Weston Moor” is a festive mix of Agatha Christie's “The Sittaford Mystery” and “Hercule Poirot’s Christmas” with a dash of Downton Abbey thrown in.

This is a spoiler-free entry in the bestselling “Lord Edgington Investigates” series. It can be listened to as a standalone novel and does not give away any secrets from the previous books.

Overall good fun

I’m still a little confused at the resolution. How was it that a killer got off Scott free and with a load of stolen jewels?

Loved it!

The Snows of Weston Moor was another great Lord Edgington book that leaves you guessing until the end. There is a lot of humor, which is a must in the mysteries I listen to. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the next book.

What a treat

I love these stories. I save to listen to them for when I’m feeling a bit low. What an awesome prescription for me. I love Chrissy. Thank you Benedict Brown, you are a fabulous storyteller and I wish you all happiness.

The first excellent quality of the writing

I enjoyed it all and very much wish that the rest of the series was on Audible!

Entertaining spin on Murder in a Snowbound Manner

Love Lord Edgington and Chrisy. This edition gives us murder with no where to run, no help available, and of course the police can't travel the roads.
