The Mystery of Mistletoe Hall

A 1920s Mystery (Lord Edgington Investigates..., Book 4)

By: Benedict Brown

Narrated by: George Blagden

Eight strangers are trapped in a deserted manor house as the snow falls, the body count rises and the Christmas tree still needs decorating.

England, 1925. When Lord Edgington receives an invitation to spend the Christmas holiday with an old colleague from the police, he expects fine food, good conversation and the warmth of a roaring fire. But on arriving at Mistletoe Hall with his family, they discover the house deserted and no explanation for where their host or his servants could be.

As more guests appear, the master detective begins to question what could connect the disparate group of newcomers. A teacher, a comedian, a thief, a sportsman, a singer, a policeman and a racing driver will all have their roles to play when a killer crashes the party. Cut off from the outside world by the worsening weather, and with bodies piling up, Lord Edgington must rely on his wits, his years of experience, and the help of his bumbling grandson Christopher in order to solve The Mystery of Mistletoe Hall.

With hints of “And Then There Were None” and “The Sittaford Mystery”, the fourth Lord Edgington Investigates… novel is a spoiler-free, standalone whodunit with a wicked resolution all of its own. Filled with warmth, humour, a fiendishly twisting plot, an adorable canine sidekick and plenty of Yuletide spirit, “The Mystery of Mistletoe Hall” is an Agatha-Christie-style Christmas cracker that will baffle and charm you in equal measure.

Narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows Vikings and Versailles and the Oscar-winning film Les Miserables.

A fun Christmas cozy

A fun Christmas cozy mystery with all the snow and atmosphere and festive decorations and holiday food that a Christmas cozy should have. This is my first of the series and I like the grandson/grandfather duo enough to read more. I’ll also be starting my mom and mom-in-law on these as they’re clean, fun, and funny with nothing graphic.

GREAT FAMILY MYSTERY TEAM

Grandpa and young grandson make a charming murder solving team. I'm moving through the series quite rapidly. Even a bit of romance for young Chrissy.

5 star as always

I almost want to rate these 5 star even before I listen to them. At the end the author gives behind the scenes review of where the story takes place and gives further insights to that area and to that era. William Warrick did an excellent job narrating as usual.

Loved it and can’t wait for the next book

Kept me guessing to the end. The narrator did a good job on the different voices.

LISTEN IN ORDER! Good cozy mystery!

It is around Christmas time that I listened to this book so I think that made it even more enjoyable since there’s a lot of snow and it’s Christmas in the story! This was an interesting murder mystery with characters appearing from previous books. There is a shocking reveal at the end of this story! Again, be sure to listen past the end of the story for interesting historical facts that the author used in creating the story.
