About this listen

Set amidst the picturesque Cotswolds, Hamnett Hall Hotel is known for its elegance, charm, and the annual spectacle of its Halloween Ball—a night of glamour and revelry. But this year's celebration takes a dark turn when Mrs. Olivia Fortesque collapses mid-waltz, her heart giving out at the stroke of midnight. Her untimely death sparks whispers of foul play, as Olivia had yet to finalize her will, leaving a fortune in limbo and potential heirs vying for a share.

With rumors of murder swirling, Detective Inspector McKay arrives from Oxford to investigate. But it's the shrewd Miss Busby and the ever-determined Mrs. Adeline Fanshawe who may hold the key to unraveling the truth, as they delve into the secrets hidden within the stately walls of Hamnett Hall.

A genteel mystery unfolds, where nothing is quite as it seems.

Elegant is the word, from beginning to end, it had a really cosy feeling. Loved every minute of it, and have no clue what the reviewer giving one star was listening to..

Great little mystery

Cosy, like hot cocoa on an autumn evening. I also enjoy the succinct descriptions of Cotswold stone houses and countryside peppered throughout. Chilling twist you won’t see coming.

Super sleuthing!
