Summary
A majestic road trip across England filled with stunning landscapes, incredible sights, and the odd dead body along the way. Lord Edgington and his grandson (along with a surprising number of servants) are going on a summer holiday. Setting off in their convoy of luxury cars, there are wonders to behold and mysteries to uncover. But when they arrive at the Lake District for a reunion with old friends, a tragedy from decades earlier hangs over the dilapidated Chandos Grove estate. After a member of the party is murdered, it will take the legendary investigator's every last wit to catch the killer and solve a mystery that has haunted him for fifty years.

Death on a Summer's Day is another funny and fast-moving 1920s murder mystery full of quirky characters and twisting plots. An Agatha Christie-style whodunit featuring a dash of Downton Abbey and a detective duo with heart and humor, the third book in the Lord Edgington Investigates… series will charm and surprise you from the very first minute.

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

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It’s easy to get into and the narrator is very good at being a young teenager and an old man at the same time. It’s not going to scare you or test your deduction skills but you still have good characters and a decent story to listen to. He hasn’t made the boy too daft or too clever. Worth getting.
