Synopsis

A grand house in the country, three rival sisters, and a dead man in the garden… It sounds like a case for Lord Edgington. On a trip to meet a family of well-known authors in the English countryside, Lord Edgington of Cranley Hall (along with his well-meaning grandson and their very loyal golden retriever) is faced with the puzzling case of an elderly man thrown from a window, a life-long rivalry and a death foretold in mystery writer’s novel. Will the famous sleuth be able to solve the mystery before it's time for tea? A Novel Way to Kill is a novella-length mystery from the “Lord Edgington Investigates…” series of 1920s whodunits. It is a standalone story and can be read at any point in the series but comes between the seventh and eighth novels chronologically. The Lord Edgington Investigates... audiobooks are narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows, Vikings, Versailles, and the Oscar-winning film of Les Miserables.

About Benedict Brown

I’m a Welsh-Irish-Englishman originally from South London but now living in Burgos, a beautiful city in the north of Spain, with my French-Spanish wife and our young daughter. Writing has always been my passion. It was my favourite half-an-hour a week at primary school, and I started on my first, truly abysmal book as a teenager. So it wasn’t a difficult decision to study literature at university which led to an MA in Creative Writing. I grew up in a crime-fiction-mad family and had made a few clumsy attempts at writing one over the years before coming up with the idea for my contemporary whodunits "The Izzy Palmer Mysteries". My second series, the 1920s-set "Lord Edgington Investigates...", has been a great success, with each of the books becoming a bestseller. If you'd like to tell me what you think about my detectives, my writing or the world at large, I’d love to hear from you, so feel free to get in touch at www.benedictbrown.net where you can also download my free mystery novellas and join my readers' club.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Kathy

This is a pleasant, short read to satisfy fans of the Lord Edgington series, but I would not recommend it to a newbie of the series. Better for a new reader to start at the beginning. Kindle Unlimited......more

Goodreads review by Chautona

I think I read this last month, but since I don't know when... Here we go. I really enjoyed this one. I loved the interaction with the sisters etc. The mystery was fun, and while I don't think it was a 5-star read for me, I rounded up. #BecauseWhyNot? Christopher's character growth is becoming better......more
