Summary

This is DC Smith's third investigation with the Diver and Diver Associates agency. They have been asked by a member of Norfolk's aristocracy to look into the tragic death of her younger brother, Freddie, the late Lord Thorpe of the title. The inquest verdict was of misadventure, but it isn't long before Smith begins to suspect there has been a serious miscarriage of justice.

An amazing series

This is just such a brilliant series from the story itself to the narration. I just escaped into it and had to keep listening as soon as it appeared on my audible list. This continues to take Smith's journey into a completely different direction with the detective agency and they all work so well together. I am a sucker for dog involvement as well and didnt let me down again.
This could be such a great tv/streaming series as quirky enough with great characters.

Started off listening to this series on audible plus now am buying all the books both for this and the related series - that is what I call a successful series.

Absorbing

Gildart Jackson breathes life into every sentence making every book a stand out listen. I love the characterisation perhaps even more than the storyline. Now what am I meant to do whilst I wait for the next treat?

A great series

I’ve really enjoyed this series, this one in particular was so good, I wanted it to go on for longer. The narrator is extremely good at the different characters, in particular Mr Smith.
