Murder in an Italian Castle by Benedict Brown, narrator: George Blagden

Lord Edgington is leaving the shores of England and taking Christopher with him. First stop, Italy to visit and old acquaintance of the lord. They travel all the way there only to see the man killed in front of them. He was definitely a bit of a rotter, okay, a lot of a rotter which leaves any number of suspects including his three heirs. 

An interesting book for a new series though it suffers a bit from a bit of world re-building (if that's a thing).

Death on the Night Train to Verona by Benedict Brown, narrator: George Blagden

Christopher and Lord Edgington are heading to their next step on their European tour. But the train they are taking to Verona is running late. It seems it has been delayed for one person. And what a person! It's the famous film actress. There are several people on the train who are connected to the actress in various ways, which makes it difficult to discern who might have wanted to kill her. Christopher and his grandfather will have few hours to solve the mystery.

There is a thread through the series of the girl that Christipher saw in the first book now being on the train. He is able to speak to her only briefly before they are interrupted by an older man who may be her father.
