Rules of Murder

by Julianna Deering Narrated by Simon Vance

Overview

Introducing Drew Farthing. From the tip of his black Homburg hat to the crease in his cheviot trousers, he's the epitome of a stylish 1930s English gentleman. His only problem? The body he just discovered. Drew Farthering loves a good mystery, although he generally expects to find it in the pages of a novel, not on the grounds of his country estate. With the help of beautiful and whip-smart Madeline Parker, a guest from America, Drew proposes to use the lessons he's learned reading his mysteries to solve the crime. Before long, he realizes this is no lark, and no one at Farthering Place is who he or she appears to be -- not the blackmailer, not the adulterer, not the embezzler and not even Drew himself. Trying hard to remain one step ahead of the killer -- and trying harder to impress Madeline -- Drew must decide how far to take this dangerous game.

Editorial Reviews

SEPTEMBER 2013 - AudioFile

This clever country-house mystery is set in 1930s England. Narrator Simon Vance sparkles as the wide range of Brits who attend a grand house party and the visiting American relatives in their midst. Drew Farthering, son of the household, and his lifelong friend Nick Dennison enjoy solving mysteries. But they have mixed emotions when a murder occurs on their doorstep. Vance’s best and liveliest creation is the doddering gent who may be quite different from the person his quavering voice suggests. As the police and the Farthering entourage work to identify the killer, listeners will be treated to details of business and village life in an earlier era. A fun puzzler in the Christie tradition.
