A 1920s Easter Murder Mystery in the depths of rural Yorkshire A scoundrel lies dying, he makes his confession; his sins were despicable, and he wants to atone for his wasted life. He bequeaths an invaluable gift to Monks Hood Abbey, an ancient monastery set in a lonely corner of the Yorkshire moors. But sin throws a long shadow and corruption crawls in its shade.

Strangers come forward and lay claim to the monks' inheritance. The Abbot calls on Major Heathcliff Lennox and ex-Chief Inspector Swift to ask for their help. They must go to Yorkshire to unravel the mayhem – but then there's mystery, and murder, and another adventure begins.

Major Heathcliff Lennox, ex-WW1 war pilot, six feet 3 inches, unruly dark blond hair, age around 30 - named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother - much to his great annoyance.

The Monks Hood Murders is the fifth book in the Lennox series.

If you enjoy good clean mysteries, I highly recommend the Heathcliff Lennox books by Karen Menuhin. These are such good entertaining books. I read them in the order they were published and recommend that approach even though they can be stand alone books. I hope there are more to come.

The story moved along quickly as Lennox and Swift investigate the murders and track down the codex. Fascinating story that unfolds. Enjoyed every minute. Love the narration, also.

Best of the Series

Another installment in the Lennox series, just as fun as the previous ones. The mystery is interesting enough and the characters are appealing. The best part is the narration, I am in love with Sam Dewhurst-Phillips’ voice. And he nicely channels all the characters’ voices. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Terrific listen

I have written a review about one of the books already and I usually write one per series. But this keeps getting better and better. Karen B Menuhin reminds me of Lousie Penny in her style... Once you start listening you simply can not stop. I think I will go back and re-listen to all of them. Yes each book is that good. I have not forgotten about Sam Dewhurst Phillips. He brings life to all the characters, his tone and his command is impeccable. Wish it was 17 hours long and not just 7...

Excellent...well worth ever penny
