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.

A great story

Really enjoyed this book and the narrator bought all the characters to life - she was excellent.

Says a lot about the author.

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

Easy listening

Easy going and a cosy English murder. However I wasn’t expecting the end which came quickly

Excellent mystery novel

I really enjoyed the story and was rooting for the characters. A great start to a series of stories.

Interesting storyline in 90s village

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.

Second Time Around

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.

A deliciously twisted tale

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

Enjoyed it overall

Well written, and well narrated. The story a good murder mystery. What I didn't like and didn't understand was why the characters seemed unnecessarily sharp and unpleasant to each other!! (With the exception of Mrs Locke - the only pleasant and polite person in the story!!)
