Summary
London, 1924: When Alfie Barrington is stabbed to death outside his club, suspicion quickly falls on his widow, the lovely Sarah - and on her former beau, Enoch Hale. The American journalist has an alibi, but he doesn't know her name and Scotland Yard can't find her.
Determined to solve this case without the help of his friend Sherlock Holmes, Hale launches and investigation that brings him into contact with Leonard and Virginia Woolf, bohemian writers and publishers; P.G. Wodehouse, creator of Jeeves and Bertie Wooster; Howard Carter, discoverer of King Tuts tomb; and one of the greatest mystery writers of all time.
A second murder sparks journalistic speculation of a curse related to Alfie's time in Egypt as a competitor of Carter and his patron, Lord Carnarvon. Hale doesn't buy that, but he doesn't come up with a better solution until it is almost too late. And in the end, it is once again Sherlock Holmes who puts it all together.
This exciting historical mystery concludes the Enoch Hale - Sherlock Holmes trilogy that began with The Amateur Executioner and continued with The Poisoned Penman.

Love the narration of Michael Langan , who brings the action and drama to your ears. Perfect
1924. Alfie Barrington is stabbed to death with an unusual Egyptian dagger outside of his club. lady Sarah Barrington is married to Alfie and Enoch Hale’s ex-girlfriend. Making her a suspect in the case and Enoch Hale!
Hale investigates to prove that he and Lady Sarah are not guilty. But their renewing friendship makes them seem even guiltier.

A great murder mystery
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, with its convoluted plots and plethora of well-kown names. In fact pretty much every literary great from 1920's England both factual and fictional make an appearance in this book! The plot did get rather confusing at times, due to the large number of characters, and as I have mentioned before in reviews, it is not easy to 'flip back through the pages' to check on who various characters are with an audiobook. But I guess that's something we have to live with. All in all an excellent listen, with a surprising twist at the end. The narration was first class with many different excellent accents.
