About the Book



Murder, Mystery and a dog of distinction

Book 8 in the Heathcliff Lennox series



Book Synopsis



Murder, Mystery and a dog of distinction


Major Heathcliff Lennox is called in, along with ex Detective Inspector Swift, to help the police investigate a macabre death. The dead man is Lord De Ruyter, a man inextricably linked to the notorious Birdcage Murders.

Nothing is as it appears, witnesses to De Ruyter's murder are not the strangers they purport to be, everyone present had a reason to be there and it all relates to the Birdcage Murders.

Book 8 in the Heathcliff Lennox series.

Major Heathcliff Lennox - ex WW1 war pilot, 6feet 3inch, tousled dark blond hair, age around 30 - named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother - much to his great annoyance.



Review Quotes




I was captivated by this series after reading the first book. It has everything I enjoy in a mystery--intrigue, dasdardly deeds, and a cast of characters I'd like to know. Lenox, a comely man with class plus a penchant for his little dog and cat is irresistible. His exploits combine with a heady dose of upperclass atmosphere during my favorite time of all--Britain between the wars. Delve into to it and you'll soon be hooked.


I enjoy the main character, Lennox, and his butler, his dog and his cat as well as his compatriot in solving the murders. Karen's writing is packed with well written details and observations of life that give so much depth to the plot that it raises the level of reading one comes to expect in all books. I enjoy her books as well as I do another favourite, a renowned author that I read. I look forward impatiently to her next book each time I finish one as I now look forward to book 9 Wreath of Red Roses. I recommend this book to all who enjoy the the English murder mystery. Good reading!


Wonderful characterisation of both people and small animals makes this series a compulsive read for anyone nostalgic, or hankering after the morals and values of a long gone postwar age. It has a lovely feel for the class distinctions and naivetes of the time juxtaposed with sometimes very understandable wickednesses. Complete with butler, endearing little dog and cat. Just perfect.
