Resumen del Editor

Jack's a retired ex-cop from New York, seeking the simple life in Cherringham. Sarah's a Web designer who's moved back to the village find herself. But their lives are anything but quiet as the two team up to solve Cherringham's criminal mysteries.

This compilation contains episodes 10 - 12:

• A Deadly Confession,
• Blade in the Water,
• Death on a Summer Night.

Here local priest Father Byrne meets his unexpected demise. Jack and Sarah investigate - who could harm the beloved Father? And what secrets did he take to the grave? The Cherringham Regatta is shaken when vandalism of boots turns into bloody murder. And when a murder suspect is freed from prison after 25 years, it's apparent someone in Cherringham wants him to continue serving his sentence - to death. But Jack and Sarah start to question... did he commit the crime in the first place?

Cherringham is a series à la Charles Dickens, with a new mystery thriller released each month. Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick listen for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa. For fans of Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple series", Lilian Jackson Braun's "The Cat Who series", Caroline Graham's "Midsomer Murders", and the American TV series "Murder She Wrote", starring Angela Lansbury.

Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid 90's, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and - most recently - the successful crime fiction series Cherringham.

The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of "DCI John Barnaby" in "Midsomer Murders" and "Jim Riley" in "The Life of Riley".

A Wonderful Crime Series

The plots are well done and the narration paced just right. Any mystery buff’s love.

Great stories with a wonderful reader.

The more I listen to these stories, the more I enjoy them. The circumstances in each story are always so different so they are never boring and the reader is wonderful as well.

Cherringham series

Would you consider the audio edition of Cherringham - A Cosy Crime Series Compilation (Cherringham 10 - 12) to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version

What other book might you compare Cherringham - A Cosy Crime Series Compilation (Cherringham 10 - 12) to and why?

Cherringham 1 - 3, 4 - 6, and 7 - 9. This is a fantastic series and the narration is very well done, top notch.

Have you listened to any of Neil Dudgeon’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Over time I have seen Mr. Dudgeon act in a few things, The most recent was Midsomer Murder. I have enjoyed his performance in everything that I've seen him in including his role as chauffeur to Diana Rigg in the Mrs. Bradley Mystery series.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If I could have I would have listened non-stop but at the same time I like to listen a piece at a time so as to savor it longer.

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to the next in the series.

Great stories

Well read fantastic stories that take many turns. Really enjoy this series and will be getting the next set.

Fun mysteries

Short and great little mysteries when one doesn't have the time for a long book . Great stories, wonderful performance . I just love them between jobs and sports.

Never fails to deliver

This series is consistently wonderful. It's a cozy mystery without the cheesy romance or recipes. The two main characters solve crimes and aren't in a romantic relationship which is really refreshing. The characters are real, likable & interesting. If you enjoy Agatha Christie you will enjoy this series

Perfect stories and a perfect narrator..

A DEADLY CONFESSION

Okay, I have very little to say about this one. It was about a priest who was a thief, a womanizer, a gambler, an embezzler,and caused a woman to commit suicide, so he got what he deserved. I was, however, surprised at who the killer was.

BLADE IN THE WATER

So, this was about Martin Kent, who disappeared from his yacht and there was blood found on-board so everyone thinks he’s been murdered. It’s up to Jack and Sarah to figure out what really happened. There was a Regatta and Skull races and parties on all the boats and barrages. It was a lot of fun this time.

DEATH ON A SUMMER NIGHT

This was about a murder that was committed 25 years ago and a town and the law rushing to judgement and sending the wrong man to jail. That was very sad.

BUT Jack and Sarah made it right. Tim had come back to Cherringham after he paid his 25 years and the town wasn’t real crazy about having him back. They made his life miserable, even setting his house on fire.

There’s no romance in any of these books and no swearing.

As to the narration: Love, love, love Neil Dudgeon. He’s totally awesome so don’t pay any attention to the five 1 & 2 star reviews. ND’s reading is simply wonderful. His voices are incredible, as is his emotions when he reads.

Enjoy !

I love the Cherringham series. Short entertaining books. Both Brit and Yank references. Great expressive British voice from Neil Dudgeon (Barnaby from Midsomer Murders). Quite enjoyable!

My favorite so far

Love listening to these stories on my commute and as a cozy wind down at the end of the day. The narrator is fabulous and the quality of the writing seems to be improving as the series progresses.

keeps me coming back

interesting characters. I like the idea that he's American in another country. well written and good readers.
