Thank You to Karen & Sam!!!

To Karen Menuhin - the stories improve with every book. Thank you for concentrating and improving the characters and the mysteries!
To Sam Dewhurst-Phillips - Lennox, Swift, and all the other characters are indelibly etched into my memory by the characterizations you give them with your voice and nuanced inflections. Thank you for bringing the Lennox series alive, from main characters all the way down to little Foggy.

It just gets better and better

I have been following this series, and it just gets better and better! The plot was very gripping, full of twists and turns that kept me listening on edge, yet with many funny moments. The characters were very likeable, especially Greg. Narrator Sam Dewhurst-Phillips is the best narrator ever!

Very enjoyable.

I have enjoyed all of the Heathcliff Lennox books. The Tomb of the Chatelaine has all of the charm of the previous books plus a few great twists to the plot.

Another outstanding whodunit from Menuhin

The only thing about it was it was hard to keep track of all the characters and how they were related.
I actually had to go back and write them down as they were introduced to keep from getting confused. As understanding this is key to the plot I suggest doing so if your inclined to forget names as often happens at my age. Once this was done I was thoroughly engrossed in engaged to the very end as usual with all Karen Baugh Menuhin’s books.

Period Mystery

I am very entertained by the characters and the mystery. The narrator's voice is very captivating. I also enjoy the subtle humor.

Another great Heathcliff Lennox saga...

Well written, perfectly narrated. I love this series and can't wait for book 7. For folks who don't like the narrator, make sure u adjust the narration speed in the beginning of the book.
