Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers
After seven years of silence, Guy Markenmore returns to his family home at Markenmore Court. Knowing his father Sir Anthony to be close to death, he is anxious to reassure his younger siblings that he will not make any claim to the family money even if he can't help inheriting the old man's title. Sir Anthony dies later that evening, but the question of the inheritance becomes academic when Guy is murdered whilst crossing the downs. It is now up to detective Blick to track down the person responsible for Sir Anthony’s death. - summary by Sharon Kilmer (9 hr 19 min)

Great reading by Richard and Sharon Killmer of The Markenmore Mystery. I enjoyed the book because it is fast-paced and convoluted enough to keep my interest going all the time! The readers, as usual, were wonderful. Richard is sadly missed. He had, as others have said, a velvety voice and wonderful cadence. I have heard many of his recordings more than once and always enjoy them anew. And, Sharon. who also has a very very lovely voice, I have heard some of her books over and over again. 'When a Man Marries' is a favorite, lots of good humor in it. I hope, Sharon, that you might do some recordings again. In any case, even if you don't you and Richard will always have my gratitude for your unselfish work of so much value. Many thhanks.

I wouldn’t put this at the top of JS Fletcher, but as always, it was an enjoyable story. I don’t know why Fletcher doesn’t have a bigger name in old mystery because I have yet to come across one I didn’t enjoy! Great characters and mystery!
Clueless Detectives

The readers are good but the book, not so much. In the French translation of the this book the title is "Le chien de markenmore" very apt since without the dog the detective never would have solved the mystery.
Gillian
Great story so many twists and turns. Kept me guessing to the end.

Didn’t like the sound of women’s voice.
I didn't spot the murderer in this story! Wonderful reading!
