About this listen

In the little hamlet of Wyvern’s Cross, where good manners, tennis and tea are pivotal to the functioning of society, little Dr Bickleigh has a rather large problem: he needs to erase his insufferable wife. His meetings with Ivy are becoming tiresome, and although his burning passion for Gwynyfryd Rattery does not play out as imagined in the toolshed, there is now the infinitely superior Madeleine Cranmere to be worshipped… Resourceful but impulsive, Dr Bickleigh is consumed with the image of his goal. Wickedly funny and playfully frank, this is the best-known novel of Anthony Berkeley (aka Francis Iles), one of crime fiction’s greatest innovators. With David Timson doing the telling, it has never been better.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The narration was excellent - a wonderful performance - although some of the women’s voices were irritating - mostly quite slow and a bit pantomime which was a shame but didn’t stop me enjoying the story.

Delicious tale of murderous English village life
