A Swarm of Butterflies

Nell Ward, Book 6

By: Sarah Yarwood-Lovett

Narrated by: Kristin Atherton

When Finchmere's first summer fete turns fatal, Nell has more than just a killer to net...

Since their YouTube channel, Following Finchmere, has taken flight, showcasing Dr Nell Ward's sustainability transformation at her family's Finchmere estate, it's her partner and colleague, Rav, who's become the star.

Amongst Rav's fan mail and gifts, Nell makes the chilling discovery that one person's obsession with him has metamorphosed into a deadly threat.

Just as Finchmere flings open its gates to welcome swarms of visitors to their idyllic summer fete - celebrating rewilding, artisan produce and local crafts - Nell realises the disguised peril has already wormed its way into the heart of Finchmere itself, and the path of destruction soon leads to murder.

Another excellent story

Great evolution of the characters. This was another well-crafted mystery beautifully narrated. Please keep these coming.

The Nature of Murder

This is a wonderful continuation of the Nell Ward Series. The author brilliantly weaves nature into her murder mysteries making connections between species and man. I couldn’t stop listening to this story because there were many cliffhangers as well as so many characters who could’ve done it. Can’t wait for the next story

Fast paced story

I have enjoyed the entire series. This may be my second favorite book. My most favorite is the first one. the author's skill at telling the story has increased over the books. I hope she continues to write mysteries with her ecologist lens.
