MIST

Ageing millionaire Bhaskar Fernandez has invited his relatives to the remote, and possibly haunted, Greybrooke Manor, high up in the misty Nilgiris.

MOUNTAINS

He knows his guests expect to gain from his death, so he writes two conflicting wills. Which one of them comes into force will depend on how he dies.

MURDER

Fernandez also invites Harith Athreya, a seasoned investigator, to watch what unfolds.

When a landslide leaves the estate temporarily isolated, and a body is discovered, Athreya finds that death is not the only thing that the mist conceals. . .

Your next cosy crime fix – perfect for fans of Golden Age crime, Knives Out and Lucy Foley

Story is okay. Narration not so much. Simple nouns like people and city names are mispronounced

Narration not great

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I hate to say this but the narration is particularly poor. Almost atrocious I almost felt like double checking this wasn't a text-to-speech translator running, difficult to imagine how this got signed off by Audible...

Story is average, a decent first effort for an amateur. Interesting plot but weak and underdeveloped characters, too many cliches and coincidences, and after a point you stop caring about the how of the whodunnit...

Terrible narration to an average storh
