Resumen del Editor

A bundle of audiobooks Murder in The Manor (Book One) and Death and a Dog (Book Two), in Fiona Grace’s Lacey Doyle cozy mystery series. This bundle offers audiobooks one and two in one convenient file.

In Murder in The Manor (Book One), Lacey Doyle, 39 years old and freshly divorced, needs a drastic change. She needs to quit her job, leave her horrendous boss and New York City, and walk away from the fast life. Making good on her childhood promise to herself, she decides to walk away from it all, and to relive a beloved childhood vacation in the quaint English seaside town of Wilfordshire. Wilfordshire is exactly as Lacey remembers it, with its ageless architecture, cobblestone streets, and with nature at its doorstep. Lacey doesn’t want to go back home - and spontaneously, she decides to stay, and to give her childhood dream a try: She will open her own antique shop. Lacey finally feels that her life is taking a step in the right direction - until her new star customer turns up dead. As the newcomer in town, all eyes are on Lacey, and it’s up to her to clear her own name.

In Death and a Dog (Book Two), spring is in the air. With last month’s murder mystery behind Lacey, a new best friend in her English shepherd, and a budding relationship with the chef across the street, it seems like everything’s finally settling into place. Lacey is so excited for her first major auction, especially when a valuable, mystery artifact enters her catalogue. All seems to go without a hitch, until two mysterious bidders arrive from out of town - and one of them winds up dead. With the small village plunged into chaos, and with the reputation of her business at stake, can Lacey and her trusty dog partner solve the crime and restore her name?

Book Three in the series - Crime in the Cafe - is also available!

Lovely story. Narrator too breathy.

I enjoyed the story very much. The narrator on the other hand is too breathy and not great with the different characters. The main character is a New York woman. Her voice should be stronger and more succinct.

Nice story but too many mistakes

Both of these stories were enjoyable but there are multiple editing mistakes like repeated words and phrases plus mispronounced words.

Keeps you guessing

Really good stories. I wish both narrator's had attempted an American accent for Lacey.

Well, I really like a protagonist who is not silly

I really dislike a protagonist who makes stupider mistakes than I personally would. A book that makes me feel smart just for reading (or listen) to it is a blessing. This one just made me feel stupid for continuing the read.

Disappointed.

Vapid, not too bright heroine. Difficult to care about any of the characters or situation. Unlikely timeline and motivation. Narration tedious. I don’t intend to listen to the second installment.

Not my cup of tea

I usually like cozy mysteries, but this one doesn't cut it! Too many things that don't add up. The narration of the second book was ok, but the first one was awful. I don't know if the reader was an American trying to put on an English accent or the other way around; in any case I don't think it worked.
