About this listen
Julia Bird’s picturesque Cotswolds life is everything she’d dreamed of. Until, that is, she discovers a dead body in the library....
Julia Bird had imagined the quiet of rural life would be soothing after years in the city, but she finds she can’t just sit still. Determined to throw herself into village activities, she joins the library just in time to attend a talk by celebrated local author Vincent Andrews.
Charming, devilishly handsome, and talented, Vincent teases the crowd with a reading from his forthcoming novel. Set in a village bearing strange similarities to Berrywick, with characters the audience start to recognize, Vincent hints of dark secrets to be revealed, to gasps of outrage from the room. The meeting ends in uproar, and, just hours later, Vincent’s dead body is discovered behind the bookshelves....
As one of the last people to see him alive, Julia feels morally bound to help the police investigate. With her trusty Labrador, Jake, at her side, she decides to do her own sleuthing and quickly discovers that Vincent’s personal life is messy, his finances are in disarray, and his book sales are declining. But most of all, remembering her neighbors' faces at the book reading, Julia wonders if one of them could have lost the plot enough to kill....
As Julia interrogates the suspects, she walks straight into another scene of murder and mayhem and realizes Vincent’s manuscript is now missing. There’s someone out there who’s deadly serious about keeping their secrets unpublished. Will Julia be able to stop them, before anyone else gets hurt?
Brilliantly twisty, this completely thrilling cozy mystery is perfect for fans of M.C. Beaton, Helena Marchmont, and Clare Chase.

Kept me guessing
I was inthralled by this story and all the different twists and turns as to who done it.
I liked the familiar friendly village characters popping up again and although I find Julia a bit annoying because she’s a know it all, it just enhances the story.
I recommend this story and am looking forward to the next in the series.

Well thought out cosy mystery
I really enjoyed the first book in this cosy mystery series and the second book didn’t let me down. I found the writing style easy and comfortable, drawing me in and wanting more. We return to our village setting and some familiar characters, which are all well written and we see their personalities developing. We learn more about our main character Julia Bird and her growing relationship with the village Doctor. The plot was really good and full of suspense, plenty of twists and turns. A cosy read and looking forward to continuing the series.

Excellent narrator
Pretty enjoyable, I do think one murder should be enough in this sort of tale, things can get too complicated.

Enjoyable cosy detective series!
This ticked all the cosy detective novel boxes for me, & followed on nicely from book 1 in the series. Some of the plot threads were a little predictable, & I sometimes felt irritated at Julia gushing on about something I had sussed out pages ago, but it didn't spoil my enjoyment. Lucy Scott has a lovely narration style- relaxing & amusing!
