The Corner Shop in Cockleberry Bay

De: Nicola May

Narrado por: Penny Scott Andews

Rosa Larkin is down on her luck in London, so when she inherits a near-derelict corner shop in a quaint Devon village, her first thought is to sell it for cash and sort out her life. But nothing is straightforward about this legacy. While the identity of her benefactor remains a mystery, he - or she - has left one important legal proviso: that the shop cannot be sold, only passed on to somebody who really deserves it.

Rosa makes up her mind to give it a go: to put everything she has into getting the shop up and running again in the small seaside community of Cockleberry Bay. But can she do it all on her own? And if not, who will help her succeed - and who among the following will work secretly to see her fail?

There is a handsome rugby player, a sexy plumber, a charlatan reporter and a selection of meddling locals. Add in a hit-and-run incident and the disappearance of a valuable engraved necklace, and what you get is a journey of self-discovery and unpredictable events. With surprising and heartfelt results, Rosa, accompanied at all times by her sausage dog Hot, will slowly unravel the shadowy secrets of the inheritance and also bring her own long-hidden heritage into the light.

Nice story

Good narration but sometimes hard to know which character she was speaking in. Enjoyable story though. Would recommend.

The characters and relationship development

I didn’t like the main character at first but came to love her as the story developed

Love this series!

One of my favorite series. But like other reviews I don’t love the narration. It’s sometimes hard to decipher who speaking. And the tone feels awkward and almost like it’s a bunch of old people in the story line. It’s just off.

Pauses.

The pauses between the chapters are a tad too long. It made me feel like the audio had stopped when it suddenly starts up again!🤨

Enjoy 😉

I really enjoy :) good read 📚 .. it was such good read on storm day ... Can't wait read next ok me
