About this listen
The eighth Campbell and Carter mystery from much-loved crime writer Ann Granger is sure to appeal to fans of her Mitchell and Markby mysteries, as well as to fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club series.
When Jerry Harrison receives an unwelcome visitor at his remote Cotswold cottage one winter's night, the last thing he expects is to end up dead. But, next morning, his cleaners find him fatally stabbed and the police have a murder inquiry on their hands.
At first, Inspector Jess Campbell and Superintendent Ian Carter aren't sure of the victim's identity, but it's not long before a neighbour, Eleanor Holder, comes forward with her opinions on the deceased. Jerry Harrison was not a popular man in the village of Weston St Ambrose; his aunt's tragic death led to him inheriting her cottage and many of the locals still see him as an outsider.
With no witnesses coming forward and very little evidence to go on, Jess and Ian must dig deep to find the answers to this baffling case. But not before another villager is attacked and left for dead...

Almost worth the wait
I've had this Ann Granger story on pre order for a few weeks and have another 2 ordered for Feb next year. Ann Granger is my favourite writer of crime stories. No one can describe a scene as she can and have the reader/ listener feel they are right there as the story unfolds. However, I do miss Judith Boyd as narrator. Her timing and delivery is just wonderful. Jilly Bond's reading style and characterisations are just slightly off. I appreciate it can't be easy to take over from another reader who has read so many in the series but I do find Jilly's reading lacks the warmth and sensitivity of the earlier books and many of the characters old and new verge on sounding cartoonish. I wish Jilly would just read the story and leave out ‘acting’ as her reading voice is very pleasant, it’s the characterisations she falls down on, Still an entertaining story nevertheless but not as great without Judith Boyd as narrator.

Death. By reading a dire book would be a better ti
If there were an award for the slowest book ever this would win. I only got part of the way, until the murder confessed with so,little prompting. I could not go any further. So much scene setting of characters who paid no part. Hardly any thing about the police procedures, avenues they were exploring or any. Cohesive explanation of the police reasoning.
It seemed that every minor character in the village had to have their own tedious story. Like they were friends of the author to whom she had promised a part.
Such a shame because I really like the Author in her previous books
