About this audiobook

A mystery with the fascinating Mitford sisters at its heart, Jessica Fellowes's The Mitford Vanishing is the fifth installment in the Mitford Murders series, inspired by a real-life murder in a story full of intrigue...

“Downton Abbey meets Agatha Christie in this witty and twisty mystery.” —In Touch Weekly on The Mitford Murders

1937. War with Germany is dawning, and a civil war already raging in Spain. Split across political lines, the six Mitford sisters are more divided than ever. Meanwhile their former maid Louisa Cannon is now a private detective, working with her policeman husband Guy Sullivan.

Louisa and Guy are surprised when a call comes in from novelist Nancy Mitford requesting that they look into the disappearance of her Communist sister Jessica in Spain. But one case leads to another as they are also asked to investigate the mysterious vanishing of a soldier.

As the two cases come together, Louisa and Guy discover that every marriage has its secrets—but some are more deadly than others. Suddenly home feels a long way away...

In 1937 during the raging civil war in Spain one of the famous Mitford girls goes missing. The Mitford family engages their former maid turned detective Louisa Cannon and her husband Guy to find their daughter Jessica. They travel to France to try and find the missing girl, in the meantime they are engaged on another case of a missing woman perhaps headed to Spain. Are the two cases related? Now they are hunting for two missing women and an elusive man that may hold information to the cases. A good job of detective work. An English historical mystery. I enjoyed the clothing descriptions and the different places and people along the way. It was a good mystery, perhaps a bit long, but a good story even so. I did enjoy the audio book and the narration was great. Thanks to Jessica Fellowes for writing the story and doing a great job of narrating it, Macmillan Audio for publishing it and for NetGalley for making it available to me.
