What to expect
Perfect blue skies, a soft summer breeze and a view to die for!
Lord Edgington of Cranley Hall has some living to do. The next item to cross off on his list of grand ambitions is a serene balloon flight above his palatial estate. But, after a man falls to his death, the pleasant pursuit is interrupted, and the esteemed detective suspects foul play.
With the help of his hapless grandson, their loyal golden retriever and a couple of parachutes, Lord Edgington must solve the murder before the meddlesome police arrive to take control of the case. But, when all of the suspects seem like such nice chaps, it's awfully difficult to spot a killer.
An Agatha-Christie-style novella with a dash of Downton Abbey thrown in, "Death from High Places" is a spoiler-free 1920s whodunit which immediately follows "Murder at the Spring Ball", the first novel in the bestselling "Lord Edgington Investigates..." series of mysteries.
Narrated by the actor George Blagden, from the TV shows Vikings and Versailles, and the Oscar-winning film Les Miserables. Please note that this is a two-and-a-half-hour novella, not a full-length audiobook.
