A Rather Dastardly Death

The Mr. Quayle Mysteries, Book 2

By: Anthony Slayton

Narrated by: Rafe Beckley

A holiday on the French Riviera turns deadly when Lord Unsworth’s old flame is found murdered in this second installment of the “entertaining” Mr. Quayle Mysteries. (Kirkus Reviews)

“One murder was quite enough for this family!” Lady Constance declared. “Two starts to look like carelessness! And what happens when it’s three? Or four?”

France, 1926. In the wake of murder and tragedy, Lord Unsworth and his family flee to the French Riviera in a desperate attempt to escape the ensuing scandal and find a few months of peace and solitude. But their hopes are soon dashed when Fanny joins a community of writers, artists, and anarchists, and Arthur unwittingly becomes entangled in a plot to catch an elusive international jewel thief.

And when Lord Unsworth’s old flame, Lady Rosaline Barrett De Marchi, is found dead in suspicious circumstances, the efficient Mr. Quayle finds himself once again called upon to save the family from ruin....

A Rather Dastardly Death is the second novel in the Mr. Quayle Mystery series.

great second book

I liked the first book a little bit more, but I hope there would be additional murder books in this series!!

Mystery Maven

I enjoy this author and with that in mind, I found this story to complicated. Too many lines to understand and follow, and although it was nicely narrated, I found the mystery weave was difficult to understand. I kept going, and repeating sections occasionally, out of respect for this author, knowing it would all come to light eventually. So I recommend this book and look forward to other stories/characters he has written.

Excellent

I can’t wait for the next book to be available through audible. Great novels, a new favorite for me!

Great story.

Love the characters and never saw the ending coming. Mr quail and Fanny should team up.

Twists and turns 

Great twists and turns during the last sections of the book! Loved this installment of the series.
