Death Comes to the Fair

Kurland St. Mary Mystery Series, Book 4

By: Catherine Lloyd

Narrated by: Cat Gould

It's harvest time in the village of Kurland St. Mary as Lucy and Robert prepare to wed - but a murderer has taken an unseasonable vow of vengeance....

As Miss Lucy Harrington, daughter of the village rector, and Major Sir Robert Kurland plan their nuptials, the major is beginning to wonder if he'll ever hear wedding bells. He's seen complex military campaigns that involved less strategy, and he's finding Lucy's meddling family maddening.

When the body of Ezekiel Thurrock, the church verger, is discovered crushed by a gargoyle that has fallen from the bell tower, the wedding is delayed. But the evidence suggests this was no accident, and Lucy wonders if bad blood at the village fair had anything to do with the man's mysterious demise, since there was much bitterness over Ezekiel's prizewinning vegetables. As Lucy and Robert uncover longstanding village feuds, the town's dark secrets begin to take their toll, and the couple soon finds they, too, are in grave danger....

Is optional not really optional? Wonderful book.

LOVED IT, listen for yourselves - worth every minute. why must I write 15 words to submit a review?

This is the ONE you've been waiting for.

As always, Catherine Lloyd's talent for dialog is supreme. In Book 4 we are back in Kurland Saint Mary's Village with old friends and and a few "new" neighbors.

Intrigue at its best

When I first started this series I felt it was too slow and almost stopped listening. By the end I was hooked. I was unable to find volume 3 in audible or the public library as an audio so I took a day to read an almost 700 page book… “Death Comes to Kurland Hall” loving the intrigues that Sir Robert and Lucy continually get into. Highly recommend the series

A series that gets better and better!

Catherine Lloyd once more combines geopolitical and historical context with great character development and a fantastic plot. This series has kept me riveted.

Enjoyed

A very twisty mystery that had me guessing but really a lot of red herrings. Narration great
