Summary
Northumberland, 1809: A beautiful young heiress disappears from her locked bedchamber at Linn Hagh. The local constables are baffled and the townsfolk cry "witchcraft".
The heiress' uncle summons help from Detective Lavender and his assistant, Constable Woods, who face one of their most challenging cases: The servants and local gypsies aren't talking, Helen's siblings are uncooperative, and the sullen local farmers are about to take the law into their own hands.
Lavender and Woods find themselves trapped in the middle of a simmering feud as they uncover a world of family secrets, intrigue and deception in their search for the missing heiress.
Taut, wry, and delightful, The Heiress of Linn Hagh is a rollicking tale featuring Lavender and Woods—a double act worthy of Holmes and Watson.

Writers about this period tend to concentrate on the rookeries of the great cities, it was pleasant to find this novel set in the North Country.

Easy listening
Slightly annoying narration, being from Northumberland myself I found the accent odd!! Easy enough to listen to although at times my mind wondered off

not the best but not the worst
A light fluffy detective novel, compelling enough to make me want to finish it but not good enough to make me want to buy the next book.

Enjoyable old-style detective fiction
Set in the Regency period and in the early years of the Bow Street police force this is a rollicking good yarn of good policemen pitted against dastardly relatives trying to get hold a young heiresses fortune. It's a gripping story that kept me listening helped by the bravura performance of the narrator.

Good story - dubious accents
Really enjoyed the story and the narration - apart from the Northumbrian accents were very very bad. So bad that when some characters spoke, my first thought was how bad the accent was.
The pace was great and the narration was too, aside from the accents of all the Northerners! I think the actual book must have the speech written as a Geordie would speak, so when it is narrated it is just an Southern English voice saying Geordie words!
I will definitely listen to the next book.

A bit if a disappointing story line
I read the reviews and was looking forward to a rip roaring story but I’d guessed the plot very quickly. It was well read and I’ll most probably look for another story in this series to see if it’s any better. It’s worth a listen though… But in my opinion not as good as the five star reviews given… but each to their own… I’ve given 5 star reviews to some books that others have given 1… it is a predictable story line though 🥲
