Dead in Devon

By: Stephanie Austin

Narrated by: Lisa Coleman

Juno Browne is a self-appointed domestic goddess. From cleaning to dog-walking to caring for the elderly, she flits around the picturesque village of Ashburton in her trusty van ready to turn her hand to anything. Despite warnings to the contrary, she ventures into the shady world of antiques dealing when she takes on a new client, Old Nick, who has a reputation for conducting business by the back door.

When Juno prevents two menacing thugs from giving Nick a beating, it’s clear one of his deals has gone horribly wrong - and it isn’t long before Nick is found dead. As the police search for answers starts to stall, Juno begins her own investigation. But when one of her suspects is killed and Juno is herself the subject of unwanted attention, she must piece the puzzle together before she becomes the next victim.

A psychological puzzle indeed!

You’ve read the description, so you know the basic plot; no spoilers here. Book 1 in the Juno Brown series is expertly narrated by Lisa Coleman. “Death in Devon” had captivated me and I had high expectations; I was not disappointed. Coleman’s presentation is always a delight, with her engaging vocal tones and inflections, bringing the characters to true life. I’ve accumulated quite the vast library of her audiobooks and for good reason. (I often search Audible by narrator and have been rewarded, discovering quite a collection of hidden gems. This is my first experience with Stephanie Austin’s writing, and I was impressed by her skilful weaving of an intricate murderous tale with zig-zags and a suspicious cast of characters. {{{Honey, meet the neighbors!}}} Highly recommended and worth a credit. Epic, I say!
