Summary
Murder, Mystery and a dog of distinction
Book 8 in the Heathcliff Lennox series.
Major Heathcliff Lennox is called in, along with ex Detective Inspector Swift, to help the police investigate a macabre death. The dead man is Lord De Ruyter, a man inextricably linked to the notorious Birdcage Murders.
Nothing is as it appears, witnesses to De Ruyter's murder are not the strangers they purport to be, everyone present had a reason to be there and it all relates to the Birdcage Murders.
Major Heathcliff Lennox—ex WW1 war pilot, 6' 3", tousled dark blond hair, age around 30—named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother—much to his great annoyance.

Another Winner
Another great story from Ms Menuhin and a superlative piece of narration from Sam Dewhurst Phillips. Looking forward to books 9 and 10.

Great Story
Really enjoyed the story, especially the end! This was unexpected. Occasionally I was unsure whether Swift or Lennox was speaking, I would have preferred quite different voices for the two characters.

The Birdcage Murders
Another stonkingly good whodunit from Karen Baugh Menuhin, I loved the narration by Sam Dewhurst-Phillips.

Perfect
Another excellent episode in the series. This one finds Lennox and gang in a London gentleman’s club. Cleverly written with suspense and lots of humour. Absolutely love this series and the narration is phenomenal.

Another good listen but not as good as previous
I have listened to all the Lennox books several times, such is the enjoyment I get from them. The narration is always excellent and I feel like I know the characters well now.
This was good but not my favourite story, although that’s entirely personal preference. I didn’t think the story flowed as well as others and lacked something I couldn’t put my finger on. I didn’t think the characters were very interesting and seemed very similar to each other so I often felt a little confused. The ending where all was revealed was a bit nonsensical and I found myself getting frustrated! Being ex police probably doesn’t help.
I probably wouldn’t choose to listen to this again, which says a lot for me but I’d still recommend that anyone who likes the series listens to it.

Kennox and Swift - better and better
This is my favourite series, I hate it when I finish a book, the stories and plots are great, the writing, the characters wonderful including the pets, and the narrator is unbelievably believable, perfect and funny.

Another Lennox lovely book
I just love this book series - it has the usual humour, love the pet capers and the butler. It is always rotten when it’s finished! Hopefully there will be more. Sam Dewhurst-Phillips is brilliant as the narrator.
