Set in a sprawling gothic mansion in a remote coastal location, somewhere in the British Isles, the elderly recluse Lord Alfred Willoughby is deciding what is to become of his vast fortune after his death. Whilst his head is telling him to leave nothing at all to his wastrel son, Matthew, his heart is speaking differently. After much deliberation, in a last-ditch attempt to try and show to his son the importance of applying himself to a task and staying with it to the end, he devises a series of enigmatic puzzles cunningly concealed within the lines of a poem - the cryptic lines. If he completes the task successfully and solves the puzzles he will inherit the entire estate; but if he fails he will receive nothing. However, from Lord Alfred's Will it emerges that Matthew is not the only interested party. The mysterious old house holds many secrets, and nothing is as it first appears...

Fabulous Story Outstanding Narration By bec/audiothing This is a truly enjoyable story that enthralled me from the very beginning, I just had to listen from beginning to end. The plot is unlike most of the mysteries I read or listen to in that it's not about murder. It's about a most unusual treasure hunt, the clues are provided from beyond the grave, albeit via a reel of film.The setting is an old mansion that wouldn't be out of place in a horror story, full of hidden secrets. There is a faithful butler to attend their every need and a cook who prepares for them meals fit for the fussiest gourmet.The clues they must solve are very cryptic, and the attempts to solve them lead along a convoluted route to some very eerie locations. The story has the feel of an Agatha Christie play and I realised I had no idea of the time period in which the story was set, though I might have missed that bit. The ending is both unexpected and satisfying, I felt I had just listened to a rather wonderful play on the wireless. I highly recommend this intriguing tale.NarratorNarrated by Jake Urry, and what a wonderful job he made of it, his voice conveyed an ominous significance to the words which was just perfect for this book. He maintains a good rhythmn and his voice has a pleasing cadence which helps bring life to story. I had no trouble differentiating between the characters because he bestowed them with distinct voices, he has also mastered the art of conveying the age appropriate voices. Jake also passed my "old lady voice" test, many of us listeners get tired of any female character over 60 being given a high pitched, weak and quavery voice. Darned good job Jake, I'm sure you will do exceedingly well in the audiobook narration business.This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator or publisher in return for an honest review

I only wish it had been longer, with more puzzles to solve and more of those fabulous meals from the talented culinary magician in charge of the kitchen.Lord Willoughby’s son Matthew was required by his father’s will to solve certain puzzles before he could inherit his father’s estate. After more of his father’s instructions were discovered and the search accelerated for clues to solve the riddles, guests at the mansion were waited on hand and foot and treated to the very best meals, snacks and goodies from the wine cellar.The old house was full of dark gloomy corridors, secret doors, walls full of paintings, and a library that seemed endless. The search expanded outside to the surrounding estate, so there was no limit to places where important items could be found. The will imposed a time limit to solve the puzzles, so each deciphered clue involved a race to check it out, which maintained the pace and suspense.The characters were described well and we really got to know the important people in the story. The Kindle edition was well edited and the ending wrapped up details we didn’t even know about! I am happy to recommend this book and look forward to others from this author.
