About this listen
DI Hillary Greene is called out to attend a suspicious death at Three Oaks Farm in the picturesque village of Steeple Barton.
The large farmhouse is filled with music and revellers, but when she steps into the farm’s cowshed, Hillary finds a dead bride. Dressed in a sumptuous white wedding gown, the young, beautiful redhead has clearly been strangled. But not everything is what it seems, and the victim turns out to be at the centre of a web of jealousy and intrigue in the close-knit village. Many of the villagers have a motive for murdering her, but they’re not giving up their secrets easily.
Can Hillary discover the real reason for this brutal crime and cope with the spiralling revelations about her dead ex-husband?

A little slow
Narrator’s voice has a tendency to put me to sleep. Quite like the main characters

Good story, rushed narration
I liked these books a lot in print so was looking forward to them being brought to life, so to speak. However, the narration is strange, quite good at differentiating characters but somehow seems rushed and seems to trivialise the story- needs to be more measured

Average
The reader has a nice voice but a really annoying way of never pausing. Some weird pronunciation, too, of quite common words. The story is quite listenable-to but rather lacklustre and, somehow, you don't build any empathy for or dislike of any of the characters. I didn't manage to finish it and I don't really care what happens to Hillary.

Good story
I've been enjoying other books in this series. I thought that this was really good too. I liked the narrator's voice, and her reading most of the time, however it was jarring when she pronounced well-known terms letter by letter instead of the way we used to hearing them. Why don't the publishers provide narrators with with pronunciation of words which are not totally common or obvious? e.g. SOCO is normally read as 'sockoh' and Magdalene in Oxford as 'Mordlin'

Competent but dull
Good to listen to while gardening or, perhaps, sleeping. The narrator plods doggedly onwards, sometimes seeming dangerously close to running out of puff before the end of the sentence, and not paying too much attention to the pronunciation of difficult words. A leaden book with a well-matched narrator.

Easy to listen to but......
The story holds the attention quite well. The narrator needs a lot of lessons in pronunciation, as several words are completely misread. Gemma Dawson s voice is pleasant enough but she is not quite able to carry off the timbre of male speech.

Let down by the narrator
Quite good story marred by an annoying narrator whose pronunciation jarred in spots. Disappointing as the series has potential.

Sounded like a news report
This is the first book that I have read by Faith Martin. The story was OK, I don't feel like we got to know the characters but this could be due to the fact that the narrator sounded like a newsreader. I was relieved when it was finished.
