POISON AT PENSHAW HALL Milverton, Book 2

Philip Battley narrates this witty mystery set in New Zealand in the zany manner it deserves. Listeners meet Addison Harper, an endearing, sometimes bumbling amateur sleuth who's just arrived in town to claim his inheritance of a house and a cat. The sculpture competition for the Terrific Town Award, which is marred by two deaths from a mysterious cocktail, is described with great spirit. While investigating, Addison meets well-rendered distillers, busybodies, know-it-alls, and, most delightfully, septuagenarian Mabel Zhou, who bosses him mercilessly. Listeners will roar with laughter as Addison stumbles upon clues and awkwardly flirts with hunky Sergeant Jake in the name of crime solving. The quirky personalities and accents are enhanced through audio, ensuring a pleasurable listen. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2025]
