Murder at the Manor

A Northwest Cozy Mystery (Northwest Cozy Mystery Series, Book 12)

De: Dianne Harman

Narrado por: Charlie Glaize

Cecil Boatwright-Jones was the epitome of a crotchety old man
So crotchety he was murdered
After all, when you’re worth millions
And you won’t spend a dime
On your run-down English manor, Little Dockery
Or your family
Or anything else
Maybe murder is the answer
But it’s never acceptable

DeeDee and Jake wish they’d never left Seattle to accept a case in the village of Finchingfield, England. What started out as a wonderful excuse to spend some time in Europe quickly becomes a nightmare. Staying in a manor that has over one hundred rooms and a lot of secrets doesn’t make for pleasant dreams.

When everyone hates a man, finding people with a motive is not a problem. What is a problem is too many suspects with very good reasons to commit murder. DeeDee and Jake have another problem. If they don’t find the murderer, there’s a good chance they’ll be the next victims.

This is the 12th book in the Northwest Cozy Mystery Series by a two-time USA Today best-selling author.

A Narrative Disaster

I have read all of the books in this series and have mostly enjoyed them. I have been hoping that the author would begin doing audiobooks.

Alas! This is one if the worst narrations I have heard in my many ventures into the world of audiobooks. The English accents are terrible.

I have have come to adore Dee Dee and Jake, having followed them through their romance and marriage. This representation of Dee Dee and Jake's voices is nothing close to how I imagined them.

I liked the story. I sincerely hope that the author gives audiobooks another try, but please use a different narrator.

So many want Cecil dead.

Murder at the Manor is Book 12 in the Northwest Cozy Mystery. Dianne Harman has written an enjoyable cozy. Charlie Glaize gives an outstanding performance and brings the characters to life. Dee Dee and Jack have gone to England to solve the murder. So many had a reason to kill Cecil. The story is fast paced and exciting. I received an arc for free in exchange for my honest voluntary review.

Narration wonderful

I loved the narration of this book. The performance really helped make the story wonderful. Great job.

Well-written and developed a joy to read/listen to

Murder at the Manor: A Northwest Cozy Mystery (Northwest Cozy Mystery Series Book 12), my sixteenth read/listen from author Dianne Harman and my third read in her Northwest Cozy Mystery Series. Well-written and developed, a joy to read/listen to. I received an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Charlie Glaize's narration adds to an excellent book's enjoyment. I look forward to reading more in this series & from this author, in fact I just put Murder on Bainbridge Island: A Northwest Cozy Mystery (Northwest Cozy Mystery Series Book 1) on my TBR list.
