About this listen
A 1920s Easter Murder Mystery in the depths of rural Yorkshire A scoundrel lies dying, he makes his confession; his sins were despicable, and he wants to atone for his wasted life. He bequeaths an invaluable gift to Monks Hood Abbey, an ancient monastery set in a lonely corner of the Yorkshire moors. But sin throws a long shadow and corruption crawls in its shade.
Strangers come forward and lay claim to the monks' inheritance. The Abbot calls on Major Heathcliff Lennox and ex-Chief Inspector Swift to ask for their help. They must go to Yorkshire to unravel the mayhem – but then there's mystery, and murder, and another adventure begins.
Major Heathcliff Lennox, ex-WW1 war pilot, six feet 3 inches, unruly dark blond hair, age around 30 - named after the hero of Wuthering Heights by his romantically minded mother - much to his great annoyance.
The Monks Hood Murders is the fifth book in the Lennox series.

Outstanding Series
I love Lennox and his escapades and always look forward to the next one. Great characters, Greggs is a firm favorite and of course, the dog Mr Fogg and Tubs the cat. Wonderfully written with lots of laughs, suspense and romance. Superb narration by Sam Dewhurst Phillips you forget there is only one person narrating. Outstanding series.

Another excellent take in the series but I’m worried as I’m coming to the end too soon!
I started listening to this series to give me something to do on long car journeys. I came across them by accident and thought they’d be a pleasant way to pass the time. Fast forward a couple of months and I’m listening at every available opportunity, which is great except that I’m running out of books!
The narration is outstanding. I spend my time wondering how the narrator records them as they’re so well done, switching from character to character and accent to accent. As these are not his native accents it’s even more impressive.
The writing is also excellent and I’ve seen it develop and grow with each book. Lennox is so hard not to love and the end of this one was quite emotional. All the regular characters are an absolute treat and I particularly enjoy the ongoing revelations about Greggs’ personal life, which adds just the right counter to the subject matter, which is obviously murder.
If you enjoy an Agatha Christie and a bit of Downton Abbey, you’ll probably really enjoy these.
I’m going to have to wait 2 weeks before I can listen to the next one but I’ll enjoy really looking forward to it.

Really good series
This is an extremely good series of stories. The characters are very likeable and rounded, humans and animals alike. I have enjoyed it tremendously and will definitely carry on with the rest of the series as it appears. Narrator Is also fun to listen too.

Intriguing characters
Brilliant narration makes this story a great listen - full of fascinating characters who come alive via the narrator. The addition of the loved dog & cat add a humorous touch. As do the amorous dalliances of the valet.

Worth the wait
Been waiting for the audio version for a while. This series manages to walk a tightrope between the melancholy of the aftermath of the 1st world war and light heartedness. As well as murder mystery, the characters become more fully fleshed out with time. Sam Dewhurst-Phillips appears to effortlessly inhabit all the characters and the book is a delight.
