Resumen del Editor

It's winter in Cherringham, and petty thief Charlie Topper's life is in danger. Desperate, he reaches out to Jack and Sarah for help: last summer - during a robbery - he witnessed a cold-blooded murder, and now he fears the killer is after him. Can Jack and Sarah solve this very cold case - before the desperate murderer comes for them too?

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 read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.

Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, 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 the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.

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. He is also known for his film roles in The Nativity, Sorted and Son of Rambow. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as "Norman Birkett" on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

Terrific series..

Jack and Sarah are at it again. Trying to figure out who killed a man and the case had grown cold. And besides the killer there were so many people who were guilty of something else. It was very odd this time.

No romance and no swearing to speak of.

As for the narration: I've loved Neil Dudgeon in every one of the 40 books I've listened to. Especially Jack's voice.

Another Fabulous Mystery

This is another fabulous addition to a wonderful and always interesting mystery series. From Neil's American accent, to each character, I delight in each story. I would say that this is my favorite episode so far but I haven't heard the next one yet.

Another great “Who Done It”

I am never disappointed with the Cheringham books and look forward to every new story. The books are a great length. I am never on a hurry to get to the end and relish my daily walk so I can listen to the story! Neil Dudgeon is a wonderful narrator.

As always a great mystery!

Another intriguing tale of murder and intrigue by a great author, and a superb narrator.

Love the series!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series, especially how Jack and Sarah interact and complement each other’s abilities, experiences, and skills. However, I do have one issue with the series. I realize the episodes are “shorts,” which means there is limited room for the personal development of the characters. Nonetheless, there should be time to allow Jack and Sarah to move their relationship beyond friends. They are perfect for each other. It’s not realistic that neither would go on to develop a new romantic relationship with someone after the loss of their respective spouses. If neither dates anyone else for years (over a decade at this point?), then it makes sense they are really attracted to each other. So please take a little time in the story for the relationship to develop. It could be included as part of the wrap-up at the end of an episode perhaps, without taking too much time from the investigative part. The details could happen “off-line,” so to speak, between episodes. Then, the change could be referenced briefly in the next story. If such a development occurs in the next few episodes, then please ignore these comments. If not, then consider?

I wish these were longer!

Loved this story, Neil Dudgeon is superb as narrator. I'm going to listen to the whole series over again!

Better than some of the last few editions

This is an improvement on the formula that was getting a little tiresome. Good story, decent plot, will buy the next in the series.

my review

Not the best I've read but certainly entertaining...kept my interest . Hope others enjoy it.

A keeper

One of the better in an excellent series. A well developed cliffhanger. Well done lads.

Wonderful as usual!

I will never get enough out of Cherringham. Such terrific stories and such wonderful characters. And the great Neil Dudgeon to top it all off. I mean, does it get any better?
