I listened to Unnatural Ends on audio and was absolutely engrossed in it! It tells the story of Lord Linwood, who is murdered, and his three adopted children are called to his estate for the reading of the will. Unbeknown to them, there is a clause in Lord Linwood's will that states that should his death be caused by an unnatural end, the person to inherit his estate will be the person who solves the murder.
In their search, Roger, Alan and Caroline unearth a whole heap of history that they had not bargained for. Growing up, their father had been a tyrant, and it was in his nature to be mean and cruel - but quite to what extent they hadn't realised until they go digging.
This book is dark, there's all sorts going on, and for that I really, really liked it! I try to listen to a couple of audiobooks a month and I do often find my mind wanders, but this one kept me really interested! If you're a fan of historical crime fiction, I can very much recommend.
