Truth Will Out

Merrychurch Mysteries, Book 1

De: K C Wells

Narrado por: Seb Yarrick

Jonathon de Mountford’s visit to Merrychurch village to stay with his uncle Dominic gets off to a bad start when Dominic fails to appear at the railway station. But when Jonathon finds him dead in his study, apparently as the result of a fall, everything changes. For one thing, Jonathon is the next in line to inherit the manor house. For another, he’s not so sure it was an accident, and with the help of Mike Tattersall, the owner of the village pub, Jonathon sets out to prove his theory - if he can concentrate long enough without getting distracted by the handsome Mike.

They discover an increasingly long list of people who had reason to want Dominic dead. And when events take an unexpected turn, the amateur sleuths are left bewildered. It doesn’t help that the police inspector brought in to solve the case is the last person Mike wants to see, especially when they are told to keep their noses out of police business.

Okay mystery...

If you are looking for a gay “romance” with nothing more than a few kisses and an easy murder mystery, this is the book for you. The story was fine. The “connection” between the characters was not really explored beyond a few thoughts here and there, then they are together.

Competent writing, very good narration

The story is an entertaining cosy, even though I figured out the mystery. It was worth the time and money!

Tedious story, good narration

This story was so tedious and repetitive that I nearly gave up completely. Eventually, I skipped a handful of chapters and pick back up at the second to last chapter and discovered I had missed almost nothing of importance. I really can’t recommend this book even though the premise was good and the narration was pretty good, too. Ultimately, the book was a massive disappointment.

Love the mystery and narration!

I have read many kinds of books from this author, but this is the first mystery I have read by her. It was excellent. The narration was new to me too, but I thought it was great. Definitely can't wait for the next book in this series.

Enjoyed it!

This was a good story. The murder/mystery held my attention – so many potential murderers to choose from ; then there’s Mike, ex DI-turned-pub owner and the younger Jonathon – a world renowned photojournalist. Their romance unfolds over the course of the story, but is not the main focus; the melding of the mystery and romance made it an interesting story.

Seb Yarrick is really good here - he has a good range for English accents – from Mike’s slight country burr to the more polished accent for Jonathon (and all the others in between). He has distinct voices for the characters, so I always knew who was talking.
He definitely made this an easy, enjoyable listen, one I would listen to again.
