A BAFFLING MURDER AT THE MIDSUMMER BALL Dizzy Heights, Book 2

Listeners should hold on tight as narrator Simon Mattacks escorts them on a fast-paced journey with the Dizzy Heights jazz band as they play a gig at the elegant Bilverton House, where an upscale crowd partakes in the latest 1920s jiving. Mattacks accelerates the drama as a wild storm traps the band at the British estate, where the host is found dead. His demise is followed by another murder and additional attempts. Seamlessly and without hesitation, Mattacks clearly differentiates character voices. He adds campy humor as Skins, the drummer, and Ellie, his American wife, and bass player, Dunn, begin an investigation that involves searching for secret doors, a new will, and motives. This listen is a rollicking ride as Mattacks reveals how the band hits a high note while conducting a proper murder investigation. B.J.P. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2021]
