The Curious Case of the Templeton Swifts: A 1920s Mystery

Written by Benedict Brown

Narrated by George Blagden

#### A wealthy recluse who’s afraid for his life, a beautiful new bride with a murky past, and three angry heirs out to protect their inheritance. There's something not quite right about the Templeton-Swifts. ####   #### #### England, Summer 1926. When Lord Edgington receives a letter from Hugo Templeton-Swift, a famously rich old man who believes he’s being poisoned, the renowned detective fetches his assistant, his golden retriever, and a full staff of servants and heads off to the countryside to investigate. But when the bodies start falling in the enigmatic manor of Riverside Keep, anyone could be guilty. ####   #### Though all fingers point to Hugo’s much younger wife, his three estranged children have their own reasons for wanting their father out of the picture, and even the servants are acting suspiciously. With the aid of his loyal grandson, Lord Edgington must pick through a house filled with secrets in order to catch the killer and solve “The Curious Case of the Templeton-Swifts”. ####   #### Dive into the pacy, puzzling and particularly warm-hearted new entry in the bestselling series of 1920s whodunits. The sixth “Lord Edgington Investigates…” novel is sure to have you holding your sides and scratching your head, as you race to spot the culprit before the beloved detectives can get their man. ####   #### The audiobooks in this series are narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows, Vikings, Versailles, and the Oscar-winning film of Les Miserables. ####

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.
