Summary
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 exceptional adventure for Lennox and Swift
With Karen Menuhin's storytelling combined with Sam Dewhurst-Phillips vocals you know you're in for a treat. Sam once again brings the characters to life with Lennox and Swift answering a call for help that sends them travelling to Yorkshire.
As deaths occur, past deeds and hidden secrets are unearthed, Lennox and Swift arrive at the truth once more to bring the guilty to justice.

As good as ever
If you are still listening by book number 4, you don’t need my verdict.
Lovely performance, that really enhances the overall feel of the book. I love the characters, and enjoy the peeling back of the layers of their histories and relationships. For me the final reveal is not that important, it just means another book is nearly over.
Can’t wait for the next one!

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.

Brilliant
I got hooked on these mysteries.Lennox is an interesting character and the plot is good. I never guessed the ending into the very end. I have read quite a few books where it was evident from the start who the culprit was. Can't wait for the next book!
