This is a well-written and fun cosy mystery! It is a quick read, but that doesn’t detract from the depth of the story or the characters. Kat and Sir Harry are a great couple and I love how they bounce off one another, each helping to solve the mystery. The lorry heists bring the thrill and from the first chapter I was intrigued. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series! Thank you to @red_dog_press for my giveaway prize!

I like listening to this series as narrated by Nathaniel Parker, but I would not read them because they are so easy, too easy, to guess. The moment the culprit was introduced in this one, it was so evident. I like the setting and learning a little about radio in the 20s, I didn’t remember they started that early.

Mydworth's Excelsior Radio company is world famous for its expensive radios so when the lorries are being hijacked and robbed its time for Harry and Kat to investigate!
I do love the Mydworth mystery books. The writing is simple, the story is easy to follow, sometimes predictable yet not in a bad day, the characters are loveable and due to the length of the novels being very short you don't get wound up or mislead by a thousand detours. It's simple writing for a simple mystery and I love it!
I am not a historical fiction fan but these books are just fab!

A nice trip to the past where radio only recently became popular and the new models are very expensive - and worth to steal.
Sir Harry and Kat are approached by a woman, her husband has been fired after his lorry was hijacked more than once on his delivery route. Someone in the company must have been involved - but who and why?
And most importantly - where's the cargo?
Enjoyable, cosy read, perfect for an evening after a long or stressful day.
