About this listen

 When Meredith Mitchell agreed to stay with her actress cousin, Eve, in the run up to Eve's daughter's wedding, she anticipated a degree of drama. But she can hardly have expected it to include murder, blackmail, and unrequited love. Or to involve a certain Chief Inspector Markby, a middle-aged divorcee.

As material witness to the only case of murder the Cotswold village of Westerfield has ever seen, Meredith soon becomes involved in the case and with helping Chief Inspector Markby. Meredith is a career diplomat and soon needs her considerable skills when steering a path between her duty to the police and loyalty to her cousin's family.

Really enjoyed this story and the characters. Narration was great. I will certainly be listening to more Mitchell and Markby mysteries. If I have any any minor criticism, I felt the last chapter was too long winded and slow.

A good story marred by one major flaw. The characters seems to be forever sullen, grumpy and generally emotionally immature.

Rather Miss Marple. Murders in a quaint village set in the early 90s….well a pint of milk was 31p. Had to look that up. Well read and you could picture the characters. Looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Interesting storyline in 90s village

Yes, I am on my second journey through this collection. First time I read the books, now I am listening to them. Great that you get much more of the storyline with an audio book.

Second Time Around

The characters become more and more vivid as the plot twists and unpeeled the layers of truth and lies.

A deliciously twisted tale
