Summary

Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this new series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry.

In "A Taste of Murder," the third Bunburry book, a local beef farmer is found dead and Betty Thorndike, vegetarian and Bunburry's only Green Party member, is in the frame. Despite what everyone thinks, Betty is absolutely not Alfie McAlister's girlfriend. But Alfie knows what it's like to be wrongly accused, and enlists the help of his fellow amateur detectives, Liz and Marge, to find out who's responsible. There's just one problem about a farm-based investigation - Alfie's scared of cows...

Nathaniel Parker, born in 1962, graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company. His television career began in 1988 when he played Flying Officer 'Flash' Gordon in the LWT mini-series Piece of Cake. He is also the lead in the BBC series Inspector Lynley Mysteries, based on the novels by Elizabeth George. Nathaniel Parker has an extensive list of audio books to his credit, ranging from the classics of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy to more modern writings and children's books.

Short and sweet like Bunburry Fudge

Good story, just isn't long enough to really get your teeth stuck into.
Just as I was getting into the story and waiting for the next chapter. The story abruptly stops and then the main character Alfie is explaining "whodunnit" or in this case "Moo-dunnit".
I've got all three so far and they have to listened too in order as the characters roll across each book.
I find Nathaniel Parkers voice is very soothing and easy to listen too.
I wonder if there will be any more...

Not as good as the predecessors

Starts off promising, with the untimely death of a farmer who won’t be missed, so a seemingly long list of suspects.

The solution however, was abrupt and ad hoc, poorly delivered and therefore quite unsatisfactory! It gets 3 stars because I’m a fan of the series (especially of Oscar), but of this wa book 1 I wouldn’t have moved onto any others in the series.
