Summary

An utterly addictive cozy mystery novel

French cheese, fine wine, and...a mystifying murder?

A delightful afternoon stroll turns to disaster when the guests of an artists’ retreat in the French mountains spot the body of a man at the bottom of a cliff. Amongst them is Melissa Craig, who, binoculars at the ready, suddenly finds herself at the center of a very puzzling mystery. Was it an accident, or was he pushed?

Her suspicions are confirmed when another body is found days later in almost the exact same spot. It can’t be a coincidence; someone in this idyllic French village is up to no good, and it’s up to her to find out who.

Between the eccentric locals and mischievous guests, Melissa finds herself with no shortage of potential suspects: Was it the surly handyman with a dark past or perhaps, the short-sighted widow with an excellent golf swing? But the real question is: How close to the edge will Melissa have to tread to find the culprit?

An absolutely gripping murder mystery you’ll feel compelled to listen to in one sitting. Perfect for anyone who loves Agatha Christie, P.D. James, or Faith Martin.

This book was previously published as Over the Edge.

Love Betty Rowlands

I have read/listened to quite a few Betty Rowland stories. I was a little disappointed in this one, not sure why. Perhaps because it wasn’t set in England? It didn’t flow as well and it took me a while to finish, I started other stories and went back to this one several times, just to get to the end. So sorry to be negative, it won’t stop me reading more of her books, it was for me, a bit of a hiccup.

Poor narration

The story itself is good but I do find that the narrator uses voices that are unrealistic and irritating which is determining whether or not I download any others in the series.

Very pleasant light reading/listening

I’ve enjoyed Betty Rowlands first three books in this series.
The characters are well described and interesting and the plot drew me in.
In general, the narration is good, but there is an irritating (to me) tendency to give characters a silly coy voice when they are conversing - particularly questions. It’s distracting to the point of annoying.
