About this audiobook
THE MANOR HOUSE MURDER MYSTERY AS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT
'What's better than a good crime novel? I'll tell you - a spoof crime novel, by the absurdly funny and clever Fergus Craig'
MIRANDA HART
'We all need more laughs like this'
AISLING BEA
Detective Roger LeCarre. Scourge of crime. Guardian of Exeter. Amateur squash player. And now, party guest at Powderham, the manor house owned by mysterious billionaire tech genius Eli Quartz.
It is a small and unconventional gathering: the Bishop, a fading radio star, a desperate aristocrat, the aging butler and his absurdly beautiful daughter - and Detective Roger LeCarre. Then a snowstorm blows in and the group realise they are trapped.
And when, completely against expectations for this kind of situation, someone winds up dead, it's obvious who must solve the crime. Obvious, but for the fact the murder weapon was in Detective Roger LeCarre's hand, and the body was at his feet...
Murder at Crime Manor was shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction on 4 October, 2023.

One of those pieces of art which completely change your life, up there with the Kit Kat Chunky bar and BBC Snooker theme tune.
