I have to say I’m seriously inclined to continue reading this series (or, to be exact, listening to it - which might be an important part of my love for this series and these characters, as the narration is outstanding). Good old Dame Christie can rest in peace, because her inspiration keeps things going.
Here our Heathcliff is made to deal with some ghosts and a very much gothic Scottish castle, with the very much expected treasure, curse, dungeons, and couple of dead bodies. All the elements of a jolly good murder mystery.
Our beloved main character also falls in love, which I’m sure will be addressed more in depth in the next installment. And acquires a kitten, because he’s meant to make all the readers love him even more.

Audible version: Ghosts and treasure and dungeons and legends! This one was my favorite so far. Also, I adore Heathcliff, sorry, Lennox! He's such a dork and that makes him a fun character. The little spats he has with Swift make me laugh. I wish I could remember the exact quotes (like when he's talking about Swift he says something like, "He's always so annoyingly particular when it comes to dead bodies." Haha! And Lennox is such a bumbler, making mistakes and forgetting proper procedure, which annoys Swift. I can't wait for the next one. They may not be advancing my intellect any, but they are keeping me entertained in a less than entertaining time!

I've loved this one as much as the other two. Not only is the mystery a fun one and the light humor on point, but there's a little added romance for Lennox which only made me groan and laugh the entire time. So much fun and, again, bravo to the narrator who absolutely brings these stories to life!

This is a perfect cozy(-ish) mystery: atmospheric, spooky, suspenseful, intelligent, full of character and fascinating characters, and just plain good old fun to read.
Highly rereadable, too, because the joy of spending time with these characters in this setting outweighs the reduced suspense of knowing who the murderer is.

I continue to enjoy this series in audio form. The author gives me exactly what I want and need right now. I was happy that Swift was still part of the cast, even though he has retired from police work. The way he and Lennox work together and antagonize each other is great fun. Again the side characters and the setting were more important to me than the actual mystery, although that too was intriguing, with the rich historic background it provided.
