About this listen

January 1954. Mists cover the hills around Selchester. Someone at the research facility known as the Atomic is leaking secrets to Soviet Russia, and when nuclear scientist Bruno Rothesay goes missing, the British Intelligence Services are convinced he's the mole. Hugo Hawksworth isn't so sure. Then a body turns up, and Hugo's instincts are proven correct. But if Rothesay wasn't selling secrets to the Soviets, who is?

As Hugo digs deeper into buried connections and unlikely coincidences, he knows there's more to this case than his London superiors believe. But following his instincts will pit him against the Establishment - and tangle him once again in the poisonous legacy of the late Lord Selchester.

As he closes in on the truth, Hugo finds himself confronted by an adversary who will stop at nothing, in a case that will prove the most personal of his career.

With a touch of Downton Abbey, a whisper of Agatha Christie and a nod to John Le Carré, A Matter Of Loyalty is the third and final book in this delightfully classic and witty murder-mystery series.

Fabulous finalé

Last book in the series of Elizabeth Edmondson’s Very English Mystery has an excellent finish, all pertinent points were checked off, so there are no stones were left unturned.
This was an enjoyable series with containing a mystery that stretched nicely across time, people and acts.
Elizabeth Edmondson with Anselm Audley cleaned up nicely,
thank you for being Anselm Audley, and to the family of Elizabeth Edmondson, much appreciated. :-)

Sad to see the end

Great story continuing on from the previous ones in the series, the characters and story are very real and relatable. Sad that the series won’t be continued since Elizabeth Edmondson has passed but I have enjoyed all of her that I have purchased.

Slow

This is the third in this series (and I believe last), and it just felt clunky. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen, but unfortunately, it didn’t happen. Such a shame, as I really enjoyed the first two.
