Summary

When mystery novelist Hazel Martin receives a secretive letter from an old friend who suspects her relatives have murderous intentions, she packs her bags and heads to the country.

Tampered medications, symptoms of poisoning, and suspicious accidents all add up to attempted murder, and it's up to Hazel and her Siamese cat, Dickens, to sniff out the clues. But with a house full of relatives who all have motives, will Hazel be able to unmask the culprit before things turn deadly?

USA Today best-selling author Leighann Dobbs brings back the spirit of the golden age of mysteries in this classic whodunit set in the 1920s.

This was a very easy listening experience. The author, characters and narrator were very good.

Nice and Easy

Good story no explicit murder descriptions. Easy and enjoyable listening. would listen to another one in the series. Books like this are godsend too on very long motorway drives.

Worth a listen but not a Kindle credit

Written by an American and though some changes have been made to make it comprehensible to a reader/listener in the UK (constable for officer) the American terminology is irritating especially as the narrator has a post English accent and the book is set in England. Apart from that, it’s an easy read and passes an afternoon.

Good story spoilt by the American language

Good story but I soon realised it was written by an American author who obviously does not know much about England especially in the the early 1900's . If they want to publish in England they shoukd use an English editor to avoid using words like "gotten" constantly irritating and whoever is an "estate heweller" or an "Estate auction" presumably a place to buy estate's 🤔😂 " figure it out" and other annoying Americanised English words and expressions.

Relaxing and entertaining novel

Good characterisation and enough twists to keep one entertained.
I would line to read the rest of the series but will hope they come into the same selection as they are too short to spend a whole credit on ... hence the 4 stars

Nice only because it was free, won’t spend a credit on the next one

Overall the book is pleasant and easy, suitable to keep you company if you spend many hours driving like I do.

The plot is typical of other period cozy crimes, but rather predictable.

The narrator is good, but the cat… honestly the cat was so irritating for me (and I’m a cat lover!), it ruined the listening.

Story spoilt by incorrect details.

There are no blue jays in England and water comes out of a tap not a faucet.
These errors highlighted that the author is American and spoiled the otherwise good story.

Wonderfully fun characters and story

Great performance and story - a great listen. Endearing, interesting characters and plot. A lovely fly on the wall experience of a 1930’s house party - loved it
