Murder at Hambledon Hall

Cleopatra Fox Mysteries, Book 10

By: C. J. Archer

Narrated by: Marian Hussey

The genteel tranquility of a country house party is shattered when the gamekeeper is shot. Was his death the result of his recent indiscretions, or long-buried secrets?

The weekend was supposed to be an enjoyable time with her family at the neo-Gothic manor of Lord and Lady Kershaw, but when the gamekeeper is murdered, Cleo can’t rest until the killer is caught. As a witness herself, she’s frustrated with the incompetence of the local police who lay the blame on a man who conveniently disappeared. When she realizes their ineptitude is a result of Lord Kershaw’s influence, she focuses her investigation on the earl and his family, against the wishes of her uncle.

The arrival of her suspects at the Mayfair Hotel allows Cleo to continue the investigation after the country house party ends, but what she discovers unnerves her. The gamekeeper’s reputation for seducing young women has left a trail of broken hearts, from the lowest maid to the highest lady. But could there be another reason for his murder?

Meanwhile, the hotel staff have secrets of their own to hide. As loyalties are tested on several fronts, Cleo needs her friends more than ever if she is to unravel the mysteries, both old and new.

Cleo is a hero!

this series has all the right elements and the reader is extraordinary -voices areao distinct. Plus Cleo is my hero and it's exciting that she might be getting some love action soon...

Finally, they kissed, and it is moving forward.I have been waiting for this for many books and I look forward to the next one.

As I said, I love that the book finally got them together.And that they are loving each other and planning the future and are still going to be detectives.

One of favorites

Cj Archer has such a way with mysteries and being able to keep you engaged throughout…..also…finally! IYKYK

Finally!!

So happy that Cleo and Harry’s relationship has moved forward. I was getting so tired of the back and forth re: their feelings for each other. Also enjoyed the story and the realization who murdered the gamekeeper.

Soooo good.

Have been waiting for another Cleo and Harry investigation and it doesn’t disappoint. Exactly what I hoped for and impatiently waiting for the finale.
