Publisher's summary

Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry.

The Cotswolds village of Bunburry is not only picturesque but also historic, about to mark its 500th anniversary. Self-made millionaire and amateur sleuth Alfie McAlister is dreading the celebrations, having been coopted to make a speech from an outsider's perspective, despite having lived in the village for more than four years. But Dorothy from the post office has worse concerns. She suspects the mayor of the neighbouring town of Rimingford is using the celebrations for dodgy dealings. It's exactly the sort of situation to be investigated by the Bunburry Triangle: Alfie and his elderly friends Liz and Marge. But Dorothy decides she's going to uncover the truth without any help. This could prove a dangerous mistake...

Nathaniel Parker, born in 1962, graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company. His television career began in 1988 when he played Flying Officer 'Flash' Gordon in the LWT mini-series Piece of Cake. He is also the lead in the BBC series The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, based on the novels by Elizabeth George. Nathaniel Parker has an extensive list of audio books to his credit, ranging from the classics of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy to more modern writings and children's books.

My favorite series

Love this series and narrator so much, I can hardly wait for the next story to be released. I’m sure I I’ve listened to each at least three time and never get tired of hearing how Nathaniel Parker brings each character to life.

To short, but I love it.

I truly enjoy all of the Bunberry series. Just wish they were longer. Can’t wait for the next one.

Love the Bunbury stories.

Always fun to escape and imagine living in a. English village with eccentric characters. All the characters are like old friends and acquaintances we get to catch up with.
