Wonderful

Another well written murder story in the Agatha Christie manner. It is wonderfully believable and has the suspense to keep you listening to the end. Love to find out how it all fits together. Never guessed the culprit. Most enjoyable to find another author that I love and a reader that holds your interest and allows you to hear it as if it was being told to you as a story with all the nuances one would normally use your self.

Nothing original about it

Unimaginable, formulaic, uninspired. Adequately written, far from masterful. I’m surprised it has so many good reviews. I must be the weird one, then.

Great story

Loved it. Each character was brought to life in an original way, and the story itself was entertaining. I’ll definitely look for more from this author and narrator.

Enjoyable & gripping

Another riveting murder mystery by Frances Evesham, well read by Charlotte Strevens, with interesting & multi-layered characters.

Worth the listen

This is a nicely done, very English cozy mystery. I really liked the characters and story.

confusing

Couldn't finish and I tried. The book never made sense to me from beging. stayed confused about if they were talking about future, past or present

Excellent book!

Excellent book! Her series of murder mysteries are stronger, overall, but I love the plot solution!

very simple

This book was very predictable and not much of a storyline. The narration was good. not much to say otherwise.

Enjoyable

This was a very relaxing listen. A countryside murder mystery - formulaic, but if you enjoy the genre you’ll enjoy this.

Okay

I rather liked the book. The story lacked something at the beginning. However, it kept improving. The performance was good.
