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

Zara Ramm kept me listening

The book is pretty simplistic and the characters are just as expected. I kept waiting for surprise or twist, but it never came. I've listened to Zara Ramm from Jodie Taylor books, so I thought I would give it a try. I did finish the book, but would not recommend it.

Deliciously cozy and clever

This book was a wonderful surprise! It was deliciously cozy, w safe, well - developed, entertaining characters. A surprisingly interesting mystery that is challenging and in places suspenseful. I loved the twist at the end! After reading literally 1000”s of mysteries over the years, a book which keeps me guessing is most welcome! I hope u enjoy it too!

Wonderful story

Excellent plot and well performed by Zara Ramm one of my favourite narrators. First book I’ve listened to by Peter Boland but I’ll be look for others. Love the way he gives us mature ladies the opportunity to show we are tech savvy and still in control of our wits. Looking forward the the next in the series.

Clever, cozy mystery

Excellent narration, recommend to anyone who likes to revel in the everyday pleasures of life, clever word play and classic mystery.

Great story!

Loved this story! Great characters and intriguing mystery. it was also a lot of to listen to.

Enjoyable listen

Was trying new authors and really enjoyed this one. I will definitely be listening to more of his books.

Loved it!

I would have listened to the whole thing straight through if time allowed. Brilliant! The characters, the little quirks, and the details helped keep it light. I finished this one and immediately began The Beach Hut Murders, which I enjoyed just as much. Excited for Death at the Dog Show!

Very fun listen

This was a fun and light listen with cute characters in a great mystery, love the ladies!

Enjoyable

I enjoyed the book. I’ll definitely listen to the next one. There were moments that I found unbelievable. Sort of broke my suspension of disbelief. But it’s still worth the listen if you enjoy a good cozy mystery.

Cosy fun mystery

For anyone in need of a light mystery - no gore, minimal stress, and funny characters. Well written and narrated.
