Sinopsis

A string of jewel heists cause chaos in the English countryside for an amateur sleuth in this classic murder mystery by the author of the Department Z series. 
 
Major Patrick Dawlish and his wife, Felicity, have traded London for a large country house in Surrey to enjoy some quiet—and fruit farming. However, that won’t stop Superintendent Trivett of Scotland Yard from asking Dawlish for help with his latest case . . .  
 
A gang of jewel thieves has both the Yard and the Home Office nervous. Trivett’s only lead is one of Dawlish’s neighbors. Sir Brian Alderney and his wife are popular pillars of the community, but the source of their wealth is uncertain. All Dawlish needs to do is get to know his neighbors and keep an eye on them. 
 
But after one wild night, things take a gruesome turn. Suddenly Dawlish has bigger questions to answer like who is the dead man hanging from his window? And who put him there?

    The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

    The term “sour grapes” is often used in reference to an instance in which someone adopts an attitude to something because they can’t equal it themselves. That was certainly the case when a 20th century critic wrote a derogatory article in the New York Magazine, stating:  
    “Who cares Who Killed Roger Ackroyd?”—Edmund Wilson 
    He added: “Wasteful of time and degrading to the intellect.” 
    We learn that Wilson was long since misguided when he said he had outgrown detective stories by the time he was twelve-years-old. His comment was degraded by publisher, editor, and critic, Howard Haycraft. He called this story: 
    “One of the most influential crime novels ever written.” 
    In Great Britain, in 2013, the Crime Writer’s Association listed it as the best crime novel ever, just one of the many accolades accorded Agatha Christie, the bestselling author in history. Her works have always achieved vast audiences, ignoring any criticism. Some critics consider this to be the masterpiece of all the stand-alone novels written by Christie. 
    As you listen with us, you will inevitably agree that there is an innovative ending with a highly unusual twist. You can now hear that for yourself.

    Youngest sister Grace Fairfield is the family rebel. Fun-loving, clever, and creative, she elevates rebelliousness to an art form, often resulting in chaos in Dark Hollow. When Grace is assigned her first Hex Support case at a haunted amusement park, she’s thrilled to revisit her beloved stomping grounds from college. Unfortunately, the case involves an employee found dead on an expensive new rollercoaster that's supposed to bring in enough revenue to prevent the park’s closure. Grace needs to act fast: if she can solve the case by Halloween, there's still a chance the new rollercoaster can open in time to save the park from bankruptcy. There is, however, one teensy complication in the form of Luke Brookstone, an old flame who worked at the park with her during college breaks. Even more distracting: he's human and knows nothing about the magical world. Despite their chemistry, Grace knows that a relationship with a human would be met with nothing but disapproval by her witchy ancestors. Then again, when was Grace Fairfield ever one to fall in line? The clock is ticking on the fate of the amusement park, as well as Grace's reunion with Luke. Can she stop the killer in time to save her beloved park, or will it all go downhill from here?
