Synopsis

A majestic road trip across England filled with stunning landscapes, incredible sights, and the odd dead body along the way. Lord Edgington and his grandson (along with a surprising number of servants) are going on a summer holiday. Setting off in their convoy of luxury cars, there are wonders to behold and mysteries to uncover. But when they arrive at the Lake District for a reunion with old friends, a tragedy from decades earlier hangs over the dilapidated Chandos Grove estate. After a member of the party is murdered, it will take the legendary investigator's every last wit to catch the killer and solve a mystery that has haunted him for fifty years. Death on a Summer's Day is another funny and fast-moving 1920s murder mystery full of quirky characters and twisting plots. An Agatha Christie-style whodunit featuring a dash of Downton Abbey and a detective duo with heart and humor, the third book in the Lord Edgington Investigates… series will charm and surprise you from the very first minute. Narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows Vikings and Versailles and the Oscar-winning film Les Misérables.

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.

I didn't like this one as much as the prior books in the series. It did have at the center a "cold case" feature from when the grandfather was a young man.......more

Ahhh... Christopher comes into his own in this one. No, he's not suddenly a brilliant detective, but he's getting a bit of self-confidence rather than just personal irritation as well as had a "heroic" moment amongst his usual bumbles as well. I also love that Lord Edgington was kind of a jerk in th......more

Goodreads review by Susan

1925. Lord Edgington returns to Chandos Grove to finally solve a 57 year old murder, accompanied by his grandson Christopher. But they are faced by another murder. An entertaining and well-written historical mystery with its likeable main characters. Another good addition to this enjoyable series......more
