Summary

A Matter of Murder is the seventh Cotswold village crime novel in Ann Granger's Campbell and Carter series. Sure to appeal to fans of Midsomer Murders and M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin mysteries.

Two years ago, Miff Ferguson chose to opt out of the rat race. Since then he's been living rough and happily so. That is until now. For, as the first signs of winter approach, everything changes. While looking for shelter, Miff stumbles across the dead body of a young woman inside a dilapidated warehouse. Quickly realising he's not alone, and what's worse he's been spotted, Miff becomes embroiled in a game of cat and mouse with a killer that forces him to abandon his life on the streets and take refuge with his aunt and uncle in the village of Weston St Ambrose. But, despite his best efforts to lie low, trouble seems to follow him, and when another dead body is discovered at a local farm, it's clear Miff is not free from danger.

With the clock ticking, Inspector Jess Campbell and Superintendent Ian Carter must join forces once again with the team of police at Bamford to piece together the puzzle before another innocent life is lost....

The best of the Campbell & Carter Mysteries

This is a very enjoyable and amusing crime novel, introducing some great characters, as well as keeping the old favourites. Inspector Trevor Barker is an absolute hoot, as is Harmony, head of the infamous Button family (residents of Weston St Ambrose). A cosy English village murder mystery with a difference. I have read all of Ann Granger's Mitchell & Markby books and her subsequent Campbell & Carter ones, and listened to all those available on Audible, and this is one of the most entertaining.

Bring back Judith Boyd

I only bought this because I like the Ann Granger books. it's not the best of her stories and it is certainly not improved by this awfull narrator who seems to think she's reading a bedtime story to children. Dreadful! Com e back Judith Boyd

Not as good as earlier stories

This was a bit of a disappointment. Not sure it works mixing Mitchell and Markby with Campbell and Carter.

Narrator's accents were grating too. Earlier books in the series were narrated by Judith Boyd and she made a better job of it.
I will persevere with the series in the hope the next one will be better.
