Lennox must go and investigate, although he's not too keen on exotic locations, and his old retainer Greggs is distinctly averse to the very idea.

Book 2
As always great narrator Sam Dewhurst-Philips.
I thought this book was very good if a little too long. i found myself falling asleep sometimes and having to rewind.
if you love cosy mysteries this certainly fits the bill.
Maybe too many interesting characters to follow so found it hard to keep track at times. However I loved book 1 . Maybe I started reading book 2 too soon after that. I am now heading to book 3 with enthusiasm.

Second in the Series did not disappoint!
The first in this Heathcliff Lennox series was brilliant. The dialogue was delightful. The development of characters & plot was so enjoyable. I really hoped the second in the series would live up to the enjoyment of the first. And The Black Cat Murders was just as wonderful! Karen Menuhin paints such a colorful picture story with evocative prose. Sam Dewhurst-Phillips breathes life in to each character in such a way I wish he would read more of the audio books in my library! Each nuanced tone, accent, cadence is so believable! I enjoyed this completely and am a bit sad the story came to an end. Highly recommend this audio book!
