About this listen
Every year Lady Repton opens up her grand estate to host 'Cherringfest' - the Cotswold's favourite music festival. And this year will be special, featuring not just the return of the legendary and infamous metal rock band, Lizard... but also the home debut of the young and wildly successful new group, Unlost. But what should be a summer weekend of fantastic music, food and fun for all, turns frightening when murder is threatened, and one performer is nearly killed. Soon Jack and Sarah are in a race against time, trying to untangle a web of jealousy, egos and revenge before this Cherringfest ends in a deadly climax...
Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.
Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.
The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of 'DCI John Barnaby' in Midsomer Murders and 'Jim Riley' in The Life of Riley. He is also known for his film roles in The Nativity, Sorted and Son of Rambow. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as 'Norman Birkett' on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

Another brilliant Cherringham addition

Neil Dudgeon is an excellent narrator ; the voices of each character remains the same not only through one story but as they appear throughout others .
Listening to these stories brings you into this Cherringham world in a cosy intimate way a relaxing escape.
Another excellent Cherringham mystery !

The only let down for me was Neil Dudgeon's performance.
Now, I love Neil. He's great in Midsomer and has a long history of very good roles on TV (including the Mrs Bradley Mysteries).
But as an audiobook performer, he leaves a lot to be desired.
His main issue is that he seems to be either incapable or unwilling to do any of the voices differently. Everyone from the main characters to the side ones sound the same - even the ladies.
At times, Neil affects a hilariously lame and half-hearted American accent for one of the leads, but it comes and goes, sometimes midsentence.
It's a serious issue, since you really have to pay attention to know who is speaking and when. It also means that none of the characters really come alive. It's all done in one voice, like a exceptionally bored dad reading his child a story
This is especially disheartening when you realise that The Mydworth Mysteries, a series of cozy crime novels by the same authors, is narrated so exceptionally well by Nathaniel Parker. Parker does everything Neil doesn't, giving life to the characters, distinct voices, and reading everything with an air of fun that the story deserves.
I do so hope Dudgeon either improves or they get someone else to do the next one in this series. Or maybe he and Parker can have a sit down and Neil can take notes on how to perform an audiobook well.
Great Mystery with Sub-par Performance
