About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Dark secrets, an unexplained death and an old country house lie at the heart of Georgette Heyer's classic murder mystery.

The Priory may look ramshackle in appearance, but Peter, Margaret and Celia are totally charmed by their newly inherited country house.

But there's more to The Priory than meets the eye.

Left empty for years, hardly a single person has set foot inside, and down in the village, the locals whisper of a ghostly figure that roams the halls....

When a murder is committed, the new owners start to fear the rumours are true - but is their new home really haunted, or is someone trying to scare them away?

Fun snd elegantly written

The story is dated and slightly far-fetched, but it is engaging and entertaining
What makes this worth listening to? Is The peerless performance of Matt Addis
He is a reader who brought to life JI, Stewarts wonderful inspector Appleby over many books
He is now repeating his exceptional reading skills in those Georgette Heyer books
I anticipate hearing them all with pleasure
