There’s a literary niche for all tastes including those who think that either Agatha Christie wasn’t funny enough or that PG Wodehouse didn’t feature anywhere near as many baffling murders as he could have. The Case of the Canterfell Codicil is a classic, cozy, locked-room mystery written in the style of an homage to PG Wodehouse. The result, for those familiar with Wodehouse or Jerome K Jerome and Agatha Christie or Dorothy L Sayers, is either an inexcusable offence to several beloved canons, or a hilarious, fast-paced, manor house murder mystery.

In The Case of the Canterfell Codicil, Wodehousian gadabout and clubman Anty Boisjoly takes on his first case when his old Oxford chum and coxswain is facing the gallows, accused of the murder of his wealthy uncle. Not one but two locked-room mysteries later, Boisjoly’s pitting his wits and witticisms against a subversive butler, a senile footman, a single-minded detective inspector, an irascible goat, and the eccentric conventions of the pastoral Sussex countryside to untangle a multilayered mystery of secret bequests, ancient writs, love triangles, revenge, and a teasing twist in the final paragraph.

Delightful as a whiff of Shalimar

As suggested by the publisher’s description, this was Woodhousian in tone with the complexity of Christie at her best. The dialogue is snappy and witty in that dry manner made famous by Oscar Wilde. I’ll definitely be reading/listening to the rest of the series.

Great fun and engaging mystery

The writing is witty and mystery is quite novel. I loved listening to it. Solve a puzzle and have a lot of laughs, what's not to like!

Quite funny and the mystery is plenty mysterious

I didn’t expect anything special from this book and so very happy to have been mistaken!
It is smart, it is funny, it is the cat’s pajamas!

I sincerely enjoyed the wit in the book and it was well written. The narrator wasn’t a great choice. These days it’s not difficult to find a narrator/voice actor who puts some effort into character definition. This man doesn’t do any of that. He reads well. In the market for audiobooks these days that’s not enough. I enjoy at least an attempt at voice characteristics to delineate characters. Otherwise, great author. Fun story! Incredibly laugh out loud lines that I’ll remember for a long time!

Funny but poorly narrated

A new cosy mystery series set in the golden age. Reminds me slightly of Lord Peter Wimsey . Im
looking forward to the next one

loved it

No humor here, just a ho hum house murder mystery with no humor and no suspense. Characters are sketches not fully realized people and therefore forgettable. I recommend Clara Bensons Series instead

Read Freddy Pilkington-Soames series instead

Without a doubt, this is my favorite series and sincerely hope dad the intrepid author will give us all more!

I’ve listened again and again

Should one need to laugh out loud, this book is prescribed wholeheartedly! The performance is excellent, from beginning to end! (Also, hard to guess the perp!)

English Manor House Hilarity

This silly and very well-written tale is perfect for lifting the mood of anyone feeling low or just ordinarily imperfect. Being crazy about Wodehouse and others who know how to put the English language to its best use and also others who enchant readers with mysteries set amidst the verdant English countryside, I may have lost the thread of reason at times, but there may have been no reason to lose? Everyone was named Evelyn. Everyone was more or less related, with the possible exception of the goat. And everyone had a motive for murder. Lovely set up. Most enjoyable. I look forward to the others.

What a romp!
