A Body at a Boarding School: A 1920s Mystery

Written by Benedict Brown

Narrated by George Blagden

Something is rotten at the Oakton Academy for Distinguished Young Gentlemen.

With rumors of fighting, cheating, and all-night parties - and that’s just the teachers - the headmaster is losing control of the school.

When a body is discovered, bludgeoned to death with a monkey statue on the last day of term, renowned detective Lord Edgington and his bumbling grandson Christopher are on hand to search for the killer. But with such a range of despicable suspects - again, that's just the teachers - plotting prefects, and maniacal students to choose from, will the discordant duo be up to the challenge?

The second book in the Lord Edgington Investigates mystery series has all the intrigue, humor, and twists of its best-selling predecessor, Murder at the Spring Ball.

A Body at a Boarding School is a 1920s-style whodunnit in a wonderfully wicked setting with a cast of curious characters to enjoy. Discover whether the great Lord Edgington can catch the killer and be home in time for afternoon tea.

Narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows Vikings, Versailles, and the Oscar-winning film Les Misérables.

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.

[Christy Knott · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Great little cozy mystery! I love the grandfather and grandson relationship and that Marmalade chooses to be a decent human.
