One dead body. Multiple identities. In the Cotswolds even the truth is disguised!

Young widow Dotty Sayers is delighted with her new auction house job until she discovers she’s about to lose her home and her chance at a fresh start. Concealing her disappointment, she reluctantly takes part in an autumn parade, but the day’s pageantry is tarnished when an unknown man is found dead.

The police ask Dotty to appraise items from the victim’s home, but rather than learning his name, she uncovers a trail of false identities. When one of them leads to a client, her search for the truth takes a fatal turn.
Can Dotty unmask the killer before she becomes the next victim?

Fake Death, the first book in Victoria Tait's Dotty Sayers Antique Mystery series, is a feel-good whodunnit brimming with Cotswold village charm, antique discoveries, and a cast of eccentric characters. With a courageous amateur sleuth finding her feet, a found family worth fighting for, and an adopted cat called Earl Grey, it's a wonderfully British cozy mystery with heart and humour.

Wholesome

I love this series. It is an easy listen with well rounded characters. Perfect with a hot cuppa and some biscuits.

Computer generated Voice fails to please

The computer generated voice with which this book was read, had the same pitch volume and timber for every character. It became difficult for me to tell the characters apart: who is speaking at this time and who is not. The book may have a fine plot, but it failed to engage me, and I will not order any of the subsequent sequels to the book

A Basic sleuth story

The story was very basic and the characters, especially the main one, were a bit pathetic. The book may have seemed better had a human narrated it. The narration was awful, speaking where there should be a pause, pausing where there shouldn’t be one. Raising the voice slightly when it should be lowered. It made it confusing to listen to, trying to understand who was actually talking and in what context. I won’t listen to another book without human narration.
