About this audiobook
Northumberland, 1809: A beautiful young heiress disappears from her locked bedchamber at Linn Hagh.
The local constables are baffled and the townsfolk cry ‘witchcraft’.
The heiress’s uncle summons help from Detective Lavender and his assistant, Constable Woods, who face one of their most challenging cases: The servants and local gypsies aren’t talking; Helen’s siblings are uncooperative; and the sullen local farmers are about to take the law into their own hands.
Lavender and Woods find themselves trapped in the middle of a simmering feud as they uncover a world of family secrets, intrigue and deception in their search for the missing heiress.
Taut, wry and delightful, The Heiress of Linn Hagh is a rollicking tale featuring Lavender and Woods—a double act worthy of Holmes and Watson.
Revised edition: This edition of The Heiress of Linn Hagh includes editorial revisions.

Reviews for The Heiress of Linn Hagh
90 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It’s always good to read another book about characters you are familiar with Stephen Lavender, constable Woods.I found the book quite addictive and found I couldn’t stop reading it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Outstanding narrator and engaging storyline with a few unexpected twists. Will definitely listen to the next in the series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Kept you on the edge of your seat. Narrator was great
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good mystery with some plot twists. The "romance" of Lavender and his salacious thoughts towards Magdelana are a distraction, and not particularly well written. Skip this nonsense and the story is great. Looking forward to the next book, with a finger on the fast forward button
