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.

This continues to be one of my (maybe THE most) favorite audible series ever. The stories are mostly pretty simple and are a fun who-dunnit and why, but what makes it so great is all of the wonderful characters brought to life by an outstanding performance from Sam Dewhurst-Phillips! I tried to really make this one last because I’ve been getting to know Lennox and Swift and the other regulars over the last 4 books, so I wanted to linger in their world for a while. Thank you to the author and the narrator for making this series absolutely enjoyable in every way.

Menhuin and Dewhurst-Phillips do it again!
