    • "This book features a novel within a novel. There's a Christie-like mystery, with a country house murder and a stuffy detective, set in the 1950s. But then there's a shift to present day, and you remember that what you've been listening to is the highly-anticipated novel of a publishing house's most successful author. However the author's been murdered and the last chapters are missing. It's very clever and tremendous fun."
