One of the popular Richard Jury series. In the later books, I burned out on Jury and his buddy Melrose Plant, but this is one of the earlier books, and is interesting to listen to.

FAVORITE audiobook ever - Tim Curry is just the best reader of audiobooks (especially books where it helps to have the English accents add to the flavor of the story) He does great, unique and hilarious voices for this story. If you haven't read her books, she does British murder mysteries with some great characters that provide huge dose of comic relief. I listened to this book years ago on a trip and have been hooked on her Richard Jury series ever since. Also made me want to hunt down any more Tim Curry audiobook recordings (he's recording the Lemony Snickett series lately, in case you're searching)
