About This Book

They had explored every avenue, and it seemed that murder was their only salvation.Reggie and Midge, genteel husband and wife who live in what was the family's more or less stately home, are now the reluctant managers of Chortlesby Manor Hotel, an English country inn of no particular distinction. But even this transformation will not solve their financial problems. The possibility of succor comes instead in a transatlantic phone call from Midge's old classmate, Victoria, who is arranging "mystery tours" of the English countryside for American visitors and wants to use Chortlesby Manor as one of the locales of her staged murders.From the beginning, the mystery tour project is heading for disaster.

Dissension, complaints, and shows of temperament abound. These are upstaged, however, by a snowstorm of paralyzing amplitude, which in turn is upstaged when a real murder takes front and center.As a killer stalks this group of amateur sleuths on holiday, solving murders is no longer fun and games. Too many guests are checking out early from this eerie old English mansion.

They're not settling their bills--or leaving enough useful clues.

Perhaps a few too many characters to remember each clearly, but their names are quite clever and there are some unusual plot twists.

A mystery in the style of the 1930s

House party in an old manor house with a bus load of Americans paying for a murder mystery weekend. They get a real murder and then some as they try to unravel the faked murders that are part of the murder mystery weekend. Lots of humor along with a fun and engrossing plot that keeps you guessing until the end.

Semi-Interesting but Rather Shallow

I'd really give this a 2.5 if possible. The storyline had so much potential but failed to rise above mediocrity. The characters were more caricatures, one sides over-the-top or uninteresting. The true murder was shallow with absolutely no reasoning. Those murdered were so inane no one would miss them anyway. Their deaths were meaningless to the storyline. It's as though the author remembered half way through the book it was supposed to be a murder mystery and threw in a couple of victims no one cared about. The idea of a murder weekend celebrating the 1930's mystery novels where participants began being knocked off and the isolated manor is cutoff from the world due to a blinding snow storm could have been so much fun. However, here, the fake murders were more interesting than the the real ones, but not by much. You may like it, but not for my reading pleasure.

This was a surprise book to read. It was a good mystery with some interesting characters and details I was not expecting. Nothing like a blizzard, telephone wires cut, and a real murder during a murder mystery weekend in an English country house. There were also a few chuckles throughout as well. If you would like a nice mystery read, this is it.

Usually I’m good at paying attention to audio books on my drive to and from work but I just can’t get into this one.

This is a murder/comedy. Some zanie characters. It's a little hard at first to get the characters strait, but quite enjoyable. It's set in 1935 and they even have books & newspapers of the era to keep with the scene.

Great Read
