January 1954. Mists cover the hills around Selchester. Someone at the research facility known as the Atomic is leaking secrets to Soviet Russia, and when nuclear scientist Bruno Rothesay goes missing, the British Intelligence Services are convinced he's the mole. Hugo Hawksworth isn't so sure. Then a body turns up, and Hugo's instincts are proven correct. But if Rothesay wasn't selling secrets to the Soviets, who is?As Hugo digs deeper into buried connections and unlikely coincidences, he knows there's more to this case than his London superiors believe. But following his instincts will pit him against the Establishment--and tangle him once again in the poisonous legacy of the late Lord Selchester.As he closes in on the truth, Hugo finds himself confronted by an adversary who will stop at nothing, in a case that will prove the most personal of his career.With a touch of Downton Abbey, a whisper of Agatha Christie and a nod to John Le Carre, A Matter Of Loyalty is the third and final book in this delightfully classic and witty murder-mystery series.… (altro)

Edmondson died before completing the first full draft of this third installment of Hawksworth's doings and her son took over, in what is clearly an act of love, finishing. He did a wonderful job. This time, at another nearby "secret" facility, this one exploring atomic ins and outs *(theoretical) an eminent physicist disappears and is thought to have defected. Or has he? Hugh must find out!! There are other questions to be answered too. Will Hugh break up with the terrible Valerie? Will Georgia get to stay at the castle? Will Hugh figure out who he has fallen in love with? Michael Page was the reader again, did a nice job. ***1/2 ( )

A Matter of Loyalty - Edmundson
Audio performance by Michael Page
3 stars

This is the final book of a post WW2 English village mystery. It’s a posthumus book, completed by the author’s daughter after her death. I enjoyed the three books of this series, although there was nothing outstanding in the writing. The setting and characters were fun, and Michael Page gave an entertaining performance. But, I’ve already forgotten the much of the weak plot and the solution to the mystery. It’s a bit sad that there won’t be anymore visits with the characters in Selchester, but I’m sure I can find another English village with a regular supply of bodies when I want some easy listening.
