A Fatal Mistake

Ryder and Loveday, Book 2

De: Faith Martin

Narrado por: Stephanie Racine

Don’t miss Faith Martin’s fiendishly clever new novel, Murder by Candlelight, set in the 1920s and described as ‘the perfect village mystery’ by J.M. Hall

‘Fiendishly clever… A thoroughly absorbing, gripping read’. Clare Chase

Oxford, 1960. In the glorious sunshine of Oxford, on a day when everyone should be celebrating, tragedy strikes when a university student is found floating in the river, dead.

Probationary WPC Trudy Loveday finds herself paired with coroner Clement Ryder to investigate and it soon becomes clear that this case is not going to be easy.

The witnesses all refuse to give a straight answer, each new lead sends them in a new direction and tales of other missing youngsters add further mystery to the investigation.

One thing is certain though, something doesn’t seem quite right about the university’s most popular student….

A gripping, twisty cozy crime novel that you won't be able to stop thinking about. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Richard Osman and M.C. Beaton.

‘Absolutely loved it… The characters were some of the best I’ve read in a long time.’ Angela Marsons, no. 1 bestselling author of the Kim Stone series

Fun…clean read, no swearing or sex

The reader is awesome! And the author is brilliant! I hope she writes more quickly. I’m running out of her books. So glad I found her books.

A good continuation of the series

Trudy and her Coroner mentor make an interesting pair. I liked this book more than I did the first book. I’m so glad I continued with the series.

The narrator, Henrietta Meire, is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Wonderful series!

Love the main characters and the interesting plots. Excellent writing. Can’t wait for the next one

Good new series without sex, swearing and violence

I have pre-ordered the next in this series. Looking forward to seeing the direction the two central characters take. The premise is fresh and entertaining.

Solid Read

Second in series. Enjoyed it. Not too cozy. Plausible ending. Will continue to listen to series. No intertwining love story to distract from the mystery.

Got what he deserved

loved it. good story line. liked the way the new officer was presented and her growth within the story.

Feel good but not simplistic

This is the second book in the series I listened to and already got the third. The characters are likable, the crime is believable, the twists are logical and the end satisfying!

Super

It's hard to believe but this installment is actually better than the first one. I loved the mystery, the characters, and I loved the narrator. She did a superb job of really getting the listener into the story.

a tad wordy

little wordy but that is what our coroner is all about. lovely how he leads Trudy to think out the problems. her superior Jennings is never going to learn he has a great policewoman but as long as Ryder does then who cares.

Intense plot, fantastic narration

An intense plot that kept me gripping and guessing. While it does at times dragged on the story telling, the overall plot was good. Narration was very good. The narrator was able to bring each character to life, so good till I wanted to hit the dislikeable boy for Trudy for the way he talked and taunted her.
