Summary

If the past comes knocking, will you dare to answer?

When Detective Chief Inspector John Shadow is called to Kirkdale Castle to investigate the death of a handsome racehorse trainer during a shooting party, he’s immersed in painful childhood memories. His father had been shot in the line of duty at Kirkdale, but his killer was never apprehended. Shadow suspects the two deaths may be linked and is determined to discover the truth, but dealing with the aristocracy is more complicated than he bargained for and the inhabitants of Kirkdale Castle are as unhelpful as ever.

John Shadow is a man of contradictions. A solitary figure who notices the smallest detail about other people, but endeavours to avoid their company. A lover of good food, but whose fridge is almost always empty. Though he would prefer to work alone, he is assisted by his eager partner Sergeant Jimmy Chang.

Can the men work together through the web of deceit and corruption to find the killer, clear an innocent man’s name, and solve the mystery clouding Shadow’s past?

A Country House Murder Mystery

Having previously listened to A Roman Shadow I was very much looking forward to this release, but I was amazed at just how much I enjoyed it, the story had me rivetted all day. It's full of dubious characters and horsey goings on, fabulous stuff, hugely amusing.

It is, in Jimmy Chang's words, 'a proper country house murder mystery'. I never did guess the killer (s?) and I'm still baffled by one part of the story that I may go back to and listen to over again because I'm sure I must have missed something, or there's a chapter missing perhaps, I'll update if I find out. I did find the ending extremely satisfactory so all in all I recommend this book if you like an amusing cosy mystery.

I was lucky enough to receive my copy free of charge in exchange for my honest review, but I'll happily pay a credit for the next book if and when it's released on audible, which I hope will be soon.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
