Summary
And it didn't take long for things to start to go wrong. One of the guests claimed she had knowledge that would ruin the others' reputations, but nobody took her seriously enough to take offence.
At least, not until her body was found...

Excellent
I really enjoyed the three books. I wish there were more. An old fashioned great read.

Criminally perfect
The most perfect story, magnificently read and a Chief Inspector who is genius despite not being 'sanguine'. Read or listen to them all, over and over, an absolute joy!

Cornelius Garrett is a superb narrator
I came to these stories as I’m a huge fan of the narration of Cornelius Garrett especially his readings of Georgette Heyer. Frankly I could listen to him read the phone book. However I fell in love with this series. The characters are warm and likeable. The plotting is good and generally they are a great yarn. I particularly enjoyed the characterization of the lugubrious inspector. I’m only sad that that there are only three stories. I’d love to know what happened to Gerry and her family. Most of all though the narration is superb and I’d recommend this actor across his body of work.

True mystery
A slow start to this mystery but a great who done it that keeps you guessing until the end.

P.G. Wodehouse meets Dorothy Sayers. And she loses
If you could sum up The Affair of the Thirty Nine-Cufflinks in three words, what would they be?
Jolly good fun.
What other book might you compare The Affair of the Thirty Nine-Cufflinks to, and why?
Reminds me of Wodehouse's 'Blandings' stories, only with murder. Convoluted and fantastically silly
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Loved any scene involving anyone trying to explain anything to Penny.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Moved me only to laughter
Any additional comments?
Dashing good blarney. Spiffing plot.

Super Entertainment
I have enjoyed the whole series, great entertainment, lots of twists and turns and expertly read. I did guess the culprit this time but that in no way spoiled the entertainment.

Twee but enjoyable
Not my usual gory crime novel but rather a good old fashioned ‘golden age of crime’ book. Although it was written later than Christie etc it does follow the same elements. It also contains nods to some of the GAOC characters like Whimsey and Marple.
We have the country house, the old creaking butler, the scatty lord and a plethora of murder suspects and a locked room murder. It’s easy to solve but enjoyable to listen to. Bought as a BOGOF so well worth the credit.
It’s also really well narrated.
