Summary
Welcome to Oldminster, a quaint little town where there’s always a mystery to be solved.
Frank Renfield, Baron of Renfield Hall, will stop at nothing to save himself from ruin. Even if that means marrying his daughter off to a rich American. Unfortunately for him, she is already in love with a penniless nobody named Alan Lavender—to the glee of Alan’s greedy uncle Guy. He’s been nosing into the Renfields’ murky past, and he says he’s uncovered a secret. Something so shocking it casts a shadow over Frank’s entire legacy.
Tensions run high at the hall, until Guy Lavender turns up dead. A convenient coincidence for Frank? Detectives French and Edwards are on the case. But in a town full of secrets, the truth can be hard to find. And Guy’s won’t be the only body to fall before their work is done … Who will be next to die under the Renfields’ roof?

Didn’t like the characters
Narrator didn’t work for me. Found voices slow and unrealistic. Characters seemed a bit two dimensional and not very relatable to. Plot was generally okay but I wouldn’t look for this author or narrator again

Odd narration
The story was interesting but it was a bit like having a story read to you by Siri! I put it on 1.2x speed, which made the voice a bit more animated and normal.
Story was ok

Quaint, But up my Street
I like the ethos of this novel.
The narrator also has a quaint way of reading. But I quite like it,
Quite nice hearing 'Chichester' so much, as I live here.

An Invitation to Murder - the story seemed to be okay but I stopped listening a third of the way through as ....
I found the narration so stilted it really grated - like listening to an automated voice. I see the rest of the author's books are also narrated by the same person so I'll be avoiding them

Invitation to Murder, an awful narrator!!
What would’ve been a good storyline was thoroughly spoilt by this narrator, a very flat & uneventful reading quality, Audiobooks should review before people listen or buy.

Dire
The dialogue was abominable - two people who know the same information to bring details into the story. The plot very weak and narration terrible

Twists and turns galore
What a tale! So many twists and turns and red herrings well worth a listen. Lots of shady characters too.
