A manor house full of secrets, a recluse who fears for his life, and four warring heirs out to claim their inheritance. There's murder afoot in the country this summer.

England, 1926. When Lord Edgington receives a letter from Hugo Templeton-Swift, a famously rich magnate 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 extraordinary estate 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 the mysterious manor 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.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’m a Welsh-Irish-Englishman originally from South London but now living with my French-Spanish wife and decidedly European infant daughter in Burgos, a beautiful city in the north of Spain.

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 family and had made a few clumsy attempts at writing one over the years before coming up with the idea for my detective Izzy Palmer. My second series, the 1920s set "Lord Edgington Investigates...", has been a great success with each of the books becoming bestsellers.

If you feel like telling 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 free Lord Edgington and Izzy Palmer mystery novellas!

intriguing plot with the team we know and love, and great new characters, all of whom are suspects!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 June 2022

I have read all the Edgington books and have enjoyed them all, but I have to say that I think this is the best to date. The characters are really developing as the series goes on and each book has new people and a new plot line and mystery to try and work out. This plot starts with a letter to Lord Edgington from a rich man who thinks he is being poisoned, which then sends Edgington, his daughter and grandson off to the Manor House to find out who is the potential poisoner. Obviously murder ensues and the detective team have to find what is going on with everyone at Riverside Keep, where everything is not at all what it seems. The plot is clever and surprising, with lots of clues along the way, although I still didn't work it out! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and was torn between trying to read faster to find out the end and read more slowly to make it last longer. A good fast paced mystery with lots of fun.

Another great Lord Edgington mystery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2022

I loved this addition to the series of Lord Edgington novels. Chrissy is maturing well in these books and I love his sense of humour. His mother, who has appeared briefly in previous books, takes a greater part in this one which I welcome as she is a great character. As always, I didn't get the solution, which has a good twist at the end, but I read the books for sheer enjoyment and don't worry too much about solving the mystery. If you haven't read Benedict Brown's books yet, I highly recommend them.

Every book you write is a true testament to what a brilliant writer you are.
One to truly rival the great Agatha Christie herself.
I honestly don’t know why I try to guess who the killer is as I never get it right 😂

Easy reading light and amusing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2022

I think this is a good read for young and old. It may be a murder mystery but set in the 1920's it is reminiscent of a Christie but with a lot of humour as seen through the eyes of a bumbling teenager.

Really well drawn and likeable characters. Another complicated plot - and it's not only Christopher who can't spot all the clues!! Hopefully there will be some more in the series sooner or later.

Yet another excellent adventure for Lord Edgington and his nephew Christopher. The story is fast paced and full of wonderful historic detail, which really makes you feel that you are part of that time. Characters are well drawn, the mystery intriguing and the conclusion extremely satisfying!

An excellent murder mystery. Full of surprises with an interesting cast of people who could quite easily be the murderer. Also humorous! I did not figure out who the murderer was until almost the last page!
