The Charity Shop Detective Agency

The Charity Shop Detective Agency Mysteries, Book 1

De: Peter Boland

Narrado por: Zara Ramm

Put the kettle on and discover an utterly charming new cozy murder mystery set in a sleepy English seaside town.

Fiona, Sue, and Daisy, three retired ladies who volunteer at the local charity shop, Dogs Need Nice Homes, can’t believe their favorite customer is dead.

Eighty-six-year-old Sarah Brown was found murdered in her hallway by her delivery man, a domino clutched in her hand—with a name scratched on it.

When another person is found dead with a domino in their hand, and with the police making no progress, the ladies will need to help unmask a serial killer. At least they have Fiona’s scruffy-haired terrier cross to assist them.

With plenty of tea and cake along the way, and despite squabbles with their rivals, the Cats Alliance across the street, the Charity Shop Detective Agency is born.

Fans of The Thursday Murder Club, Janice Hallett, Simon Brett, Ian Moore, and Sarah Yarwood-Lovett will adore this exciting new talent in cozy crime.

Reseñas de la Crítica

‘Witty and knowing.’—Diamond Dagger Award-winner Simon Brett, OBE

Very easy listen

This was an adorable book! It was an easy listen and definitely lived up to its cozy nature. However, just like some of the other reviews say it may have been a little too cozy at some points and a little slow in others. All in all though I thought it was delightful and worth a read!

Charming characters

This is the epitome of the cozy mystery. Quirky characters, lively and funny dialogue, relatable setting. I look forward to the next installment in the series

The humor

I laughed out loud at the scene of Fiona making a sale in the Wicker Shop while the three friends were in the process of breaking and entering in search of clues for the serial killer.

Very fun listen

This kept my attention throughout. LOVED the all-female bond. The humor was great! Zara was a great narrator. I will follow this author & series. Highly recommended!

Great

Loved these characters. Could not figure out the ending, very suspenseful and surprising. Looking for more adventures of these three.

Enjoyable plot...

Old ladies reading to many crime novels.. competing dog and cat charity shops.. funny.. worth the listen..

Surprisingly Wonderful!

I loved this niche book and was surprised by the wonderful humor of the characters. Must read.

The characters where utterly charming.

My husband and I listened to this book on audible. It was a great listen.

Charming Mystery

Fun murder mystery that captures your imagination and carries you away to a quiet English village

Easy listening. Good reader.

Liked the premise and the story. Good reader. But story felt contrived and “ amateur”. Appeared to be written by someone who was spouting lots of expressions from a ‘how to write a book list ‘
