Über diesen Titel
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.

So why only four stars if it sounds like a very well rounded series of books? Well I have three major annoyances growing with every book. I have to try really hard to get over them, for the love of the characters and for continuing in the series and it's beautiful story. - so maybe a warning is in order. If you read further you may not be able to "unhear" them.
1. The only emotional expression for men, whether excitement or distress seems to be "running their Fingers through their hair". Everytime I hear that sentence i physically flinch. And that is quite a few times in every book. it even makes me growl in frustration sometimes when listening with my headphones on. which gives me funny looks from my wife.
2. Who on god's green earth decided to have that stupid dog bark every time it gets mentioned. It's so annoying that I now dislike the character of the dog within the story. - sadly! I usually like dogs.
3. Why is every glass of liquor a "snifter". Yes, having found a funny old word you like can be challenging sometimes. One tends to overuse it. But there have to be other, funny, oldtimey words.
So there you have it, don't say I didn't warn you. I will go now and run the fingers through my hair to calm myself down.
Looking forward to the next book. all in all a really solid 4.5 stars.
Great books, funny, well read. solid 4.5 but...
