About this listen

Don’t miss the brand-new installment in the fantastic Stamford Mysteries series! Perfect for fans of M.C. Beaton and Richard Osman.

Who knew a harmless town fair could be so polarising – or so deadly?

When auctioneer Felicia Grant’s best friend, Stamford Mayor Cassandra Lane, talked her into helping with the town’s annual Georgian Fair, she expected the worst she’d have to endure was the corset. But when the fair’s headline speaker turns up dead in the hook-a-duck pool, and more murders follow in quick succession, she finds herself investigating a serial killer for the second time in less than a year – and this time the stakes are even higher…

Cover illustrated by local Stamford illustrator Katie Cardew. Discover more at katiecardew.com

Disappointed, the story was boring and dragged out was hoping for a twist of excitement but unfortunately it never came

Not as good as the first

I'm left feeling somewhat disappointed. In contrast to the first book this plot felt contrived and a lot of time was wasted on scene setting from the previous story which is frustrating if you've already read that one. Characters appear that have little or no connection with the plot and presumably are included just to divert attention. The sergeant's attitude to the main character goes from one extreme to another. All in all it's just not as good as book 1. Shame.

That difficult second book

I really enjoyed the first of this series and the second lived up to it. These are gentle whodunits with likeable characters. Nice twists in the plot keep up the interest. It moves quite slowly but the backstories are quite entertaining. Definitely not 'gritty', more Agatha Christie or Midsummer Murders. I can't wait for the next one. Excellently read as well.

Another satisfying story
