    About this audiobook

    An impossible murder behind a locked door. Can DCI Oldroyd find the key to the mystery?

    Lord Redmire’s gambling habit has placed him in serious debt. Determined to salvage his fortune by putting Redmire Hall on the map, the aristocrat performs an impossible locked-door illusion on live TV. But as the cameras roll, his spectacular trick goes fatally wrong…

    Special guest DCI Jim Oldroyd has a front-row seat, but in all his years with the West Riding Police he’s never witnessed anything like this. He sees Redmire disappear—and then reappear, dead, with a knife in his back.

    As Oldroyd and DS Stephanie Johnson soon discover, nearly everyone at the event had a reason to resent the eccentric lord. But how did the murderer get into the locked room—or out, for that matter?

    When the only other person who knew the secret behind the illusion is brutally silenced, the case begins to look unsolvable. Because as Oldroyd and Johnson know, it’s not just a question of who did it and why—but how?

      Ingenious plot but too many characters to keep straight - not helped by the wearisome performance in which 9 of 10 males were voiced in a heavy, breathy, throaty manner, spoken much more slowly than anyone would IRL. The dialogue was expository, repetitive, just like a TV series where you have to be reminded of each character's trait. It's significant that this book doesn't pass the Bechdel test- while all the women were named, never did they speak together about anything aside from the "womanizer" by whom the majority were all subjugated. In fact only the investigator's daughter intervenes for a few short minutes in a nice relationship which is not about female sexual victimization (no, it's her dad who is victimized, unrealistically, by her mother). I wonder when writers (and their creative writing clubs) will be able to see past such roles. 3 stars for the mystery, 2 for the delivery. The slowed speech and interminable length were well handled by speeding the replay to 1.2x... first time I have bothered to use this.

      Wow! Great plot and red herrings. Don’t miss this one.
