The Tale of the Tenpenny Tontine

The Anty Boisjoly Mysteries, Book 3

De: PJ Fitzsimmons

Narrado por: Tim Bruce

Anty Boisjoly is back to fill the gap that overlaps between Ruth Rendell and P. G. Wodehouse, and where Jerome K. Jerome meets Dorothy L. Sayers.

The Tale of the Tenpenny Tontine is another mystifying manor-house stumper for Wodehousian bon-vivant and problem-solver Anty Boisjoly, when his clubmate asks him to determine who died first after a duel is fought in a locked room. The untold riches of the Tenpenny Tontine are in the balance, but the stakes only get higher when Anty determines that, duel or not, this was a case of murder.

More fun with Anty and Vickers!

I think each book gets better. I don’t know how PJ does it, because the first was excellent. I read the books before they were available on Audible. They were so much fun that I didn’t hesitate to get the Audible as well. Excellent narration, too.

So much fun!

These books are so delightful! The writing is hilariously witty, and the performance is excellent. The endings are a little convoluted, but that doesn't really matter. The stories are sweetly wrapped up, and the journey is so worthwhile!

Another fantastic book in the series!

I thoroughly enjoy this series and book 3 is not exception. How clever was Anty ( or the author actually). Like the first 2 books, this was full of mysteries. Whodunit, how, why? I like that the loose ends were all tied up nicely, and everyone got the solution they needed to their problems, including the dog!

The narrator was spot on too! He really brought this book and characters to life. Bring on book 4!

So clever and amusing!

The pace is great and Anty is a hoot! Thoroughly enjoyed, as usual. The stories are always layered and hold surprising endings. An absolute blast to listen to, as Tim Bruce is the perfect narrator for this series. Love it!

Most excellent monologue and imagery

Fitz Simmons is like no other writer in commentary on the most mundane of daily life occurrences. An intelligent and thoroughly entertaining read/listen with the perfect narrator… like immersing oneself in Mary Poppin’s chalk pavement picture.

Thank you for all the fun

I love this series. These stories hold my interest and exposing who did it at the end is always revealing.

love the series

Witty, clever, and fun. The narration is excellent as well. Hope this is a nice, long series.

J' Adore!

Thrilled to bits with the characters, story and narration. So witty sometimes, I laugh aloud. Then think, 'It's a murder.' Then remind myself, it is a story! Fabulous capture of the whole language, and feel of London at the time of the gentleman runabout; one imagines. Thank you P.J. for creating a character P.G. Wodehouse would attempt to sue you over. But, not before shaking your hand in salute of the genuine glory of its originality yet leaning, quite close, brilliance. Do go start at Book 1. Know and love this super fun series.

Another triumph!

I so enjoy this series! The names get a little hard to follow in this one, but the characters are well developed and Anty Boisjoly is as delightful as ever. A fun mystery.

One of my new favorite authors

I laughed out loud A LOT. The writing is quick, clever and hilarious. The narrator is fabulous, too.
