Publisher's Summary:
Locals claim it is haunted and refuse to put a single toe past the front door, but to siblings Peter, Celia, and Margaret, the Priory is nothing more than a rundown estate inherited from their late uncle, and the perfect setting for a much-needed holiday.
But when a murder victim is discovered in the drafty Priory halls, the once unconcerned trio begins to fear that the ghostly rumours are true and they are not alone after all! With a killer on the loose, will they find themselves the next victims of a supernatural predator, or will they uncover a far more corporeal culprit?

Members Reviews:
Entertaining mystery from the great Georgette
Any additional comments?
Unlike some other reviewers, I think the narrator did a very fine job. I enjoyed her reading, characterizations, and she has a lovely voice. Having read the book already, I knew the plot, but nevertheless I was kept engaged by the wonderful dialogue.Thank goodness Heyer's mysteries are being made available in unabridged audiobooks!
A Fun Story!
The story was incredibly fun with ancient houses, secret passages, and interesting characters. Ulli Birve did a fine job with the narration. After I listened to Why Shoot a Butler, I was reluctant to listen to Ulli Birve narrarate another Georgette Heyer novel. But the last two novels I have listened to with Birve as narrator have been very good.
Narration is almost laughable
Cute story. Too bad a better narrator cannot be found. One just has to remember that what sounds like a girl is supposed to be a man.
Footsteps
The story moves very slowly but stay with it until the end it is worth it. Someone is trying to make the new owners of the priory sell or leave the property by scarring them off.
Thrilling
I love using audible to accompany my read while I drive, work out, cook. The reader has a good voice for the book.
