Murder on the Brighton Express

Cleopatra Fox Mysteries, Book 9

De: C.J. Archer

Narrado por: Marian Hussey

Gossip, scandal and murder collide on the express train to London. Did the journalist fall from the first-class carriage, or was she pushed?

Cleo’s holiday with her family to the seaside resort town of Brighton is everything she hoped it would be…until she receives a blackmail note. The blackmailer demands Cleo help her or a story revealing Cleo’s investigating will appear in the newspaper. With her uncle warning her to keep her detecting activities private, Cleo agrees to meet the blackmailer when they return to London. But when the woman is seen getting on the train but not off, Cleo grows concerned.

She enlists the help of the hotel staff to search for the body along the railway line. Finding it confirms her suspicions and leads her to discover that her blackmailer was a gossip columnist. What scandal had the victim uncovered that led to her death? And which fellow passenger had a secret worth killing for?

With Harry Armitage’s assistance, Cleo attempts to track down the murderer. Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on the hotel staff to host a society wedding that will be featured in the social pages for all the right reasons.

Always keeps me on my toes!

I love the story line of these books!! I am always left on the edge of my seat. The characters are very interesting and the narrator did an amazing job as always! Can’t wait for the next book!

95% great

The recording wasn't edited well and there were a few times were it skipped, the words were garbled, and once when a different novel in a different voice was announced in the middle of a sentence.

Other than that it was a good story and the narrator did a great jon.

Another Great Mystery

Wonderful narration and an interesting cast of characters! Waiting for the next one will seem like an eternity! You can’t help but want to be along for the adventure with Cleo and Harry!

Always a delight!

I adore everything CJ Archer writes and equally adore Marian Hussey.

Cleo and Harry’s slow burn romance is killing me. I can’t wait till June!

Lovely mysteries

This, like the others before, was a delightful listen. Didn’t suspect d culprit till Harry and Cleo’s revelation. The supporting characters and Mayfair Hotel’s role in the stories adds breadth to the tales. Also, the narrator is so good, I’d rather listen to the audiobooks than read the story—and I’m someone that would rather read than listen.

Another wonderful story

I love this series. I hope CJ continues to write these books. I’ve tried to listen to the other collections she has put out and they do not compare to the Cleo series.

Tech Errors

While I love every one of these books in the Cleopatra Fox Series, and I also love the narrator, the reason this audible is not getting a full 5 stars, is due to the number of errors in the recording. There were numerous occurances of narration being repeated, or random audio interrupting the narration or skipping parts completely. Whomever was supposed to edit this audio recording did a terrible job.

Love every Cleopatra Fox mystery!

Great story line as always, plenty of twists and turns! Keep trying Harry, Cleo is weakening! Love this narrator!

Fun next installment

This was a fun next installment in the Cleopatra Fox Mysteries. I’ve really enjoyed this series to date. They are solid murder mysteries with all the twists and turns one would expect to keep you guessing. Also, the narrator is fantastic and has really created a wonderful group of characters. I hope they continue to work on all the future books!

Love this series, recording error in chapter 10 though

Story was great including the narration. In chapter 10, someone else’s voice is heard speaking for a few seconds. I listened to it a couple times to be sure. Can’t wait for the next book and to see where things eventually go with Cleo and Harry.
