Heathcliff Lennox #2
The Black Cat Murders
Downton Abbey meets Agatha Christie with a touch of Wodehouse and a dog of distinction.
Who killed Sir Crispin Gibbons? A wedding invitation and news of mischief that could be murder, takes Lennox to The Earl of Bloxford's country estate. He soon finds himself in a world of purloined artworks, forgeries and a priceless Bloxford Beauty. But who are the Bloxford Beauties? And why are they the focal point around which swirls death?
Lennox must confront life-long friends, unscrupulous artists and dealers to finally unravel a plot so complex that even his old adversary, Chief Inspector Swift of Scotland Yard, is perplexed.

A worthy light mystery that’s a taste of Downton Abbey edged with a bit of Wodehouse.
In this series, a youngish gentleman, a former Major in the army and veteran of WWI, has a taste for amateur sleuthing. His unlikely and largely reluctant sidekick thus far is a bona fide homicide detective from Scotland Yard. Both are nicely imperfect as characters and, refreshingly, as amateur and professional detectives.
This installment treats us to plenty of the protagonist’s little dog, Fogg, and a new kitten who often rides around in his pocket when not destroying the arrangement of his desktop. Yes, it’s long on cute in that regard, but only that regard. Cozy isn’t my go-to because of a distaste for much cute. In this case, I gave myself over to glimpses of charming fur balls.
There’s an actual multiple-murder mystery of course, wrapped around the high drama of a grand manor wedding, and a rich young American bridegroom who serves as a secondary sidekick. It’s all somewhat more interesting and entertaining than that sounds. For light reading in the genre, this is a fine series.

A most excellent and well thought out 'country house' murder story, well worthy of taking its place as number two in the 'Lennox' series.
The characters are wonderfully sculpted as are the settings. Everything is redolent with the image of the 1920s from the language and accents to the social structure into which the author cleverly allows the reader an understanding of the transitions this structure is undergoing at that time.
I recommend this thoroughly riveting read but suggest a new reader begin with the first, 'Murder at Melrose Court' and together with me await with impatience the next one, 'The Curse of Braeburn Castle'

Such a marvelous series! The plot was very well contrived; I enjoy the setting, Heathcliff, er I mean Lennox (!), his dog, Mr. Fogg, and the new addition his kitten, Mr. Tubbs. Looking forward to the third book!

Just as fabulous as Murder at Melrose Court, I have fallen in love with Lennox and Mr Fogg, would give this series six stars if I could I love this world created by Karen Menuhin and I want to live in it, or at the very least keep dropping in for a visit

A really interesting read!
This is the 2nd book I've read in this series and it was great. I have a new favorite author. I hope some of the characters reappear in future books. Loved them all!

Major Heathcliff (don't call him that) Lennox finds murder at the wedding of one of his childhood friends. Lady Caroline Bloxford is scheduled to marry the wealthy American Hiram Chisolm in a real bang-up shindig. That is, Hiram's blue-blood mother has decided that it must be fancy with cultural entertainment--so Lennox needs to prepare himself for a full dose of opera. Except the lead baritone is squashed flat by the soprano when a trap door breaks, so maybe there won't be an opera after all. Despite the death being declared an accident by Brigadier Bloxford, Lennox's friend Dr. Cyril Fletcher is convinced there's something fishy about the death. When more deaths follow, it looks like he was right. Lennox teams up with his nemesis from the first book--Inspector Jonathan Swift--to discover whether the murders have to do with opera or a gentleman's club called the Black Cat or with the risque paintings known as the Bloxford Beauties...or maybe all three.
When I finished Lennox's debut in Murder at Melrose Court, I had hoped that in the next installment we would have built on the glimmerings of character that I saw in that novel. I wasn't terribly impressed with Lennox as our amateur sleuth, but I thought there was potential and went into the second novel expecting to like Lennox better. For the first half of the book, I'm afraid that wasn't the case. If anything, I liked him less. If I hadn't committed to this for one of the challenges I do that doesn't allow substitutions, I probably wouldn't have finished it. I also kept reading because I was interested in the plot--I did want to know why the murders had occurred and who had done the evil deeds, but I didn't particularly care if he figured it out. His character isn't exactly bad so much as it is blah. And he is no great shakes at detecting, though things did pick up a bit when he and Inspector Swift make peace and investigate together. I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm probably comparing him with Charles Lennox (a gentleman detective established in 2007 by author Charles Finch) and finding Heathcliff wanting. One point in his favor, when he realized that the pretty young woman that both he and Swift were interested in wasn't a good match for him (their interests are too different), he went out of his way to help Swift move his romance along.
I do love a country house murder, so the setting is perfect. I also enjoyed the characters of Richard Dicks (whose mania for order reminds me of a certain Belgian detective), head footman, and Miss Isabelle Busby (who serves as a kind of Watson to Lennox). I could definitely stand to see more of them--though it's unlikely since they're tied to the area near the Bloxford estate. The motive for the murder is a little unusual and I did enjoy trying to figure out who done it and why. The final wrap-up scene is a bit over-the-top and I find it hard to believe the wedding party just morphed right into a funeral party with such ease. Despite an interesting plot, I can't say that I'm too eager to try a third. However, there are plenty of folks on Goodreads who disagree with me, so your mileage may vary.

3.5 stars. Much better than the first book in the series although Heathcliff Lennox is stlll a weak link as an amateur detective. This time at least the supporting characters were more interesting, but the killer was a less-than-satisfying option. It was more of more of a 'I-don't-want-to-offend-people' choice. Nice that the author made the Inspector more human but Jonathan Swift as a name?

3 1/2 stars. A fun 1920s cozy told from the pov of the hapless Lennox who has a little bit more smarts than people give him credit for. Humorous series. The explanation at the end gets too convoluted but otherwise a good story.

Such a fun listening experience! Wonderful main character & narrator! First rate!
August 2, 2021
3.5 stars. The characters and style were pretty much exactly what I remembered from the first book, and as an added bonus, the murderer came as a surprise to me (but made perfect sense once revealed). There's some interesting implication and subtext about British aristocracy, some I think beyond what the author even consciously intended, but enjoyable for those who like a bit to mentally chew on even after a lighter read.
The main reason for dropping my rating to 3.5 stars, compared to the 4 I gave the first book, is much heavier implications of adult content. While descriptions are vague, much of the plot centers around nearly-nude paintings. A 1920s version of a drag bar also features in the story. Other content is very comparable to the first one, with death and light descriptions of blood and such. I would be more cautious about how young of a teen I suggested this one to, compared to the first book.
Original DNF review:
Temporary DNF, as I do want to continue with this series, I just don't seem to be in a mood to properly enjoy it right now.

He is a reluctant detective and even more reluctant cat owner but a little black kitten will worm it's way into his heart as he tries to solve the mystery of the murdered Opera singer and others

An enjoyable old-fashioned cosy mystery with 3 bodies, and the revealing of the culprit in a meeting of all the main characters in the last chapter. Light 3-star entertainment, brilliantly narrated for the audiobook by Sam Dewhurst-Phillips.

In the films they say never work with kids and animals, well this obviously goes for books too as it was the animals who stole the show.

Happy day when I found this book inside of a Little Free Library. I never heard of the book, or the author, however as the title was “The Black Cat Murders” and I have a black cat (hi Lincoln!) who is most likely plotting my murder as I type this, I picked up the book. Good enough reason for me.
I then discovered the protagonist was a male. I rarely read male leads, not by design. It’s just the genres I choose are *usually* female. Especially cozy mysteries. The ones I choose the females are single, slightly older, and have a kitty cat.
Well, Lennox is that in a sense, except he’s a dude, so…
I was truly pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this book! Total lough out loud moments too!
I love Lennox’s interaction with Dicks, the servant. So funny!!!
I adore the camaraderie of Lennox, Fogg and Mr. Tubbs. (Lennox’s dog and cat respectively). Lennox may *need* a woman in his life at some point but I believe he (and I) are quite happy with this cute little trio! In fact, Lennox referred to the three of them as his little family! Aww! Adorable!
So, the author…she truly has a gift! For real! I adore her style of writing. Just so easy to read, so descriptive, never ever boring. There were several passages I had to re-read as I loved them so much. Example: “Mist was rising over the meadows as I wandered the grassy pathways down to the brook. There was nothing to be heard other than birdsong in the hedgerows and the low of cattle in the distance.” Gorgeous, right? Naturally Lennox was accompanied in this leisurely stroll with the misters Fogg and Tubbs. There was a house filled with humans, but he chose his little family to share his evening with.
I cracked up at several of Lennox’s terms of endearment. He uses these pretty much every page. They all begin with old. Such as: “old stick”, “old chap” and “old thing”. It does not matter if you are young or old or male or female. You care getting one of these affectionate utterances.
Did I mention this was a cozy mystery? It was. Lennox solved the murder, as is the case with every cozy mystery I suppose. Even though I love that genre that is not the main reason I loved this book so much. It was a phenomenal study of characters. There as such a cornucopia of personalities in this book. I wanted to know everybody, even the baddies (of which there were several).
I don’t normally cry at the end of cozy mysteries but I have to admit this one got me. I ugly cried. No shame. Well played Karen Baugh Menuhin, well played.
P.S. I should mention this is a series. At the time of writing this review there are 9 books. I only read this, which is #2. I was not in the least bit lost. After reading this however I need to get books number .5 and 1 and all the books after. It was that good!

I really discovered this series on a whim because the first instalment was on sale on Audible one day, but wow has it paid off in spades. I usually don't pay much attention to the marketing blurb but the one for the Heathcliff Lennox mysteries describes it as a mix of Downton Abbey, Agatha Christie with a dash of P. G. Wodehouse, and it is actually remarkably accurate.
While an opera troupe is performing privately for an aristocratic family, a black cat shrieks, startling the two main singers on stage. They later fall through a stage trapdoor which gives way beneath them, leading to the death of one. Major Lennox arrives on the scene with his trusty canine companion, Mr Fogg, to attend the wedding of his childhood friend Lady Caroline Bloxford, daughter of the house in question, and is so caught up in a series of murders along with Inspector Jonathan Swift.
Being a great fan of the 1920s-1940s era of cosy mysteries, I've also tried many contemporarily written cosy mysteries but none of them have really made a huge impression on me - except this series. The humour is on point and not overdone, the writing is engaging and avoids the pitfalls of trying too hard to sound like Christie, the characters are engaging and relatable, and the mysteries are just a whole lot of fun but also complex and intricate at the same time.
I'm bummed that we only have 5 Heathcliff Lennox mysteries to devour, and really hope that I'll be seeing more from Menuhin, seeing as the latest one was only just published in Aug 2020. This series is highly recommended for fans of cosy mysteries, Agatha Christie, and especially so if you enjoy a touch of Wodehouse-esque humour.

A worthy successor to the first Lennox mystery. I do hope that he gets over his shyness and can deal with the ladies in the stories a lot better!
And without giving away any of the plot, I also hope that he will continue to have a foil for his sleuthing; a detective always needs someone that serves as his opposite, as it were. That little sense of friction has helped to make these books very entertaining. I hope the author has something in mind to continue that connection.
Looking forward to the next one.

I've thoroughly enjoyed these books, "The Black Cat Murders" is a worthy follow-up to Ms. Menuhin's first Heathcliff Lennox (but don't call him Heathcliff!) novel. I'm especially fond of the classic "get everybody gathered together in one room" denouement at the end, very reminiscent of the best of the 20s and 30s detective series, most notably Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot I believe. I'll be waiting for the third installment!

I've been finding it a bit of a challenge to audio-read and then gift this book with a favourable rating while we're in lockdown (Covid-19 driven), so note my review with that in mind.
I enjoyed the first book so much more, I think the mystery in this one - which had a cross-dressing club and painting x-rated paintings of a family’s women - just wasn't as interesting and I don't feel inclined to pursue this series any further.

An entertaining follow-up to the highly enjoyable Book 1 from the Heathcliff Lennox mysteries. This one has a bit more human drama and emotional wrangling thrown in compared to the first one. The narrator did a superb job in getting the various accents right and made an overall entertaining listening experience!

For a book featuring a drag club, there was a disappointing lack of drag.

Easily just became one of my favorite cozy mystery series! Major Lennox is just as comically snarky as ever in this second installment.

See on nii hea sari ning audioraamatud on vaimustavad. Ma lugesin ja kuulasin samaaegselt ja see oli lihtsalt imeline kogemus. Tohutult muhedalt kirja pandud ning Sam Dewhurst-Phillips on geenius. Üks parimaid audioraamatute esitajaid üldse. Mõrvaviis oli äärmiselt veider, aga lugu oli huvitav ning Lennox sai endale kassipoja. Mõned ajastule omased asjad ärritasid ning selle tõttu ma ei andnud sellele kõrgeimat hinnangut, aga soovitan ikkagi, sest Lennox ja Swift koos juhtumit uurimas on lugemist väärt.

Cozy murder mystery and as usual, I had no idea who dun it. I did liked seeing the battle weary H build a sweet family with his animals and solve the murders during a country house gathering.

I really enjoy the writing, setting, characters and plot in this series of murder mysteries. These books are an easy read.

Another misadventure for Lennox. Genre but pleasant.
