Set in a sprawling Gothic mansion in a remote coastal location, somewhere in the British Isles, the elderly recluse Lord Alfred Willoughby is deciding what is to become of his vast fortune after his death.
Whilst his head is telling him to leave nothing at all to his wastrel son, Matthew, his heart is speaking differently.
After much deliberation, in a last-ditch attempt to try and show to his son the importance of applying himself to a task and staying with it to the end, he devises a series of enigmatic puzzles cunningly concealed within the lines of a poem - the cryptic lines.
If he completes the task successfully and solves the puzzles, he will inherit the entire estate, but if he fails, he will receive nothing.
However, from Lord Alfred's will, it emerges that Matthew is not the only interested party. The mysterious old house holds many secrets, and nothing is as it first appears....
The audio version, read by Jake Urry, has now been re-recorded at an even higher quality, bringing this atmospheric tale to vivid life like never before!

Kid friendly, probably more suited to 8 years and up. While a bit on the gothic end of things, this isn’t crazy morbid by any stretch. I love that you were able to sit and try to figure everything out along with the characters and the final twist will absolutely shock you. Truly a must if you enjoy mysteries and competitions!

I love that almost the whole book is a literary scavenger hunt, and that all the secondary characters are not only important to the plot, but also quite mysterious. You know there are more to them that we know :)
I most certainly will be reading/listening more from this author.
The narration by Jake Urry was good.
A very good story!

I loved this book right from the beginning. Here you have a creepy old mansion with hundreds of rooms and the heir apparent has to actually has to work for his millions! The ending, to which I am NOT going to tell you, surprised even me! What started out, to me as a ho hum gothic mystery,ended up as a really good mystery. The narrator, Jake Urry did a fantastic job , not only with the character voices but with the whole atmosphere of the story.
I received this audiobook free from the author in exchange for a honest review.

It was a dark and stormy night when the tale begins and it continues in a manner reminiscent of Henry James. There is an elderly very wealthy man with one wastrel son so the man repeatedly calls his solicitor to the mansion, only this time he dies while burning the most recent will and makes a cryptic statement. There's a video will and it gives a bequest to the faithful butler and leaves the great bulk to whichever of the other two (son or solicitor) finds the hidden item. From then on the suspense tightens as the men decide to work together and follow the sequential clues. The end absolutely blindsided me!
Jake Urry is the astounding voice actor who has the right tone at the right time and gives nothing away.
Absolutely diabolical!
