MURDER AND THE GOLDEN GOBLET

The unique detecting duo of ex-cop Peter Marsh, who is now in a wheelchair, and his feisty daughter, Georgia, is on the trail of a case. But is it merely legend, or is it real? Narrator Gordon Griffin is terrific whether he quotes ancient text or portrays a fascinating variety of characters. Is King Arthur's golden goblet truly buried in Kent? The quest takes Peter and Georgia into the life of the late Lance Venyon and the world of art forgery. Along the way, they come to question whether Venyon's seemingly accidental death may have been murder. Griffin's delivery enlivens tales of King Arthur, Sir Gawain, and Dover Castle, as well as the world of 1950s’ Paris art forgery. Art buffs and mystery fans will enjoy.
