Arabella’s twin brother, Mr. Bonaventure “Bonny” Tarleton, has also grown up...romantic. And fully expects Valentine to ride out after Arabella.

Will Sedgwick can’t believe that after months of searching for his oldest friend, Martin Easterbrook is found hiding in an attic like a Gothic nightmare. Intent on nursing Martin back to health, Will kindly kidnaps him and takes him to the countryside to recover, well away from the world. Martin doesn’t much care where he is or even how he got there.

Martin knows he’s a lost cause, one he doesn’t want Will to waste his life on.

England, 1904. Two years ago, Captain Archie Curtis lost his friends, fingers, and future to a terrible military accident. Alone, purposeless, and angry, Curtis is determined to discover if he and his comrades were the victims of fate, or of sabotage. Curtis's search takes him to an isolated, ultra-modern country house, where he meets and instantly clashes with fellow guest Daniel da Silva. Effete, decadent, foreign, and all-too-obviously queer, the sophisticated poet is everything the straightforward British officer fears and distrusts.

Publisher's Summary
A jaded spy and a shell-shocked country doctor team up to solve a murder in postwar England.
James Sommers returned from the war with his nerves in tatters. All he wants is to retreat to the quiet village of his childhood and enjoy the boring, predictable life of a country doctor. The last thing in the world he needs is a handsome stranger who seems to be mixed up with the first violent death the village has seen in years. It certainly doesn't help that this stranger is the first person James has wanted to touch since before the war.
The war may be over for the rest of the world, but Leo Page is still busy doing the dirty work for one of the more disreputable branches of the intelligence service. When his boss orders him to cover up a murder, Leo isn't expecting to be sent to a sleepy village. After a week of helping old ladies wind balls of yarn and flirting with a handsome doctor, Leo is in danger of forgetting what he really is and why he's there. He's in danger of feeling things he has no business feeling. A person who burns his identity after every job can't put down roots.
As he starts to untangle the mess of secrets and lies that lurk behind the lace curtains of even the most peaceful-seeming of villages, Leo realizes that the truths he's about to uncover will affect his future and that of the man he's growing to care about.

Outstand post-War England Mystery
This authentic English mystery, reminiscent of the work of Dame Agatha Christie, is brought to life with an outstanding performance by the very talented Joel Leslie. The mystery was complex, the cast of characters interesting and varied, and the voices so unique I was completely swept away. In fact, I was so caught up in the story and the ambiance of post-War England that I half expected an appearance by Miss Jane Marple.
This mystery stumped me, and that doesn’t happen often. I also grew very close to both MCs as the story progressed and rooted for them to find a measure of peace and, of course, to find each other. My heart broke for James, a country doctor who couldn’t stand the sight of blood. The war took its toll on this young man and by the end of the story, all I wanted was for someone (like Leo) to share his burdens and warm his heart (and his bed).
Leo Page, the other MC, was, in his own way, equally emotionally damaged. Leo is a spy, i.e., he works for the intelligence service and was sent to, ostensibly, solve a murder but, in reality, his job was to cover it up. He doesn’t expect to fall in love, however, and the attraction between he and James grows throughout the story.
Joel Leslie’s voices (and he has many – both male and female) formed a solid base for my enjoyment of this mystery, without a doubt. I felt as if I were sitting in front of an old-fashioned radio broadcast (with better clarity of sound, of course) as I listened to this “show” that had me on pins and needles as Leo and James puzzled the pieces to this outstanding mystery.
Needless to say, I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy a mystery romance, especially one with the flavor of the great mystery authors of the early twentieth century. This was amazing. Those who want extra value entertainment should definitely pick up the audio version.

Intriguing! 💜
This was a great “who done it?” mystery with a twist.
It reminded me a little of the game clue, with multiple suspects and outcomes etc. It was anyone’s guess and everyone had a guess lol.
The characters were fun and creative.
The narration was outstanding. Joel Leslie is certainly one of the most talented voice actors out there!!

I loved it and want more!
At times like these I wonder why I don’t read more historical romances. There’s something about the pacing that’s very comforting and soothing. It’s a nice change from the fast paced stories and lives of today. Even though Hither, Page is set post WWII with all that it entails, listening to this book felt almost like a mini-vacation – and one I’d happily go back to.
James is haunted by his time as a doctor in the war. Patching up one soldier after the next. His mind is fried and he wants nothing more than the pace and quiet a small town has to offer. That is until a dead body is discovered and Leo Page comes to town, turning his life upside down in the process.
Leo is anything from what he seems. Part of a secret organisation he’s travelled the world on one mission or another. Being a spy is all he knows, being alone is all he knows. With no place or family to call his own, he really is the perfect spy. And really, loved ones and roots are only obstacles and dangerous in his line of work. That is until he arrives in this quiet village, where things weren’t always what they seemed – and some things were.
I loved the pacing and setting of this book. The quiet, and not so quiet, sense of place. From the moment I started listening it really grabbed me, even before the characters and plot did. Though it wasn’t long until both Leo and James captivated me on their very own. I loved this book beginning to end and I can’t wait to see what will happen next.
James and Leo were perfect for each other, in that they were what the other needed; a home and peace, understanding. I don’t imagine being gay in that time was ever easy, but they really had something worth fighting for. They knew the value of it, at least in time.
The mystery part was engaging, with plenty pf clues and suspects. It had this Agatha Christie vibe to it, this gentler feeling, with no real sense of urgency or danger. It was more like “let’s figure this out, one step at a time”. I loved it, I want more.
I quite enjoyed listening to Joel Leslie narrating a historical romance again. It’s a good fit for him. He captured and gave the listener this sense of place and transported you back to post war England. He made you walk beside James treating the villagers, his exasperation when his ordinations were ignored, how the sight of blood transported him back to the battlefields. But also plotting and planning with Leo when his mind spun out of control with all the possibilities, looking at the invisible threads. But more than that I loved how he made you feel the connection between James and Leo.
Hither, Page was captivating beginning to end, and I just hope that we’ll see much more of this duo in the future - or past.

Great British mystery, Fantastic performance
I discovered the book by searching for works by this narrator. I’m not usually a fan of historicals but since I love Joel Leslie’s work I decided to give it a try. Glad I did. The story is great with crisp, clever writing. The mystery is in the best tradition of Dame Agatha Christie. The main characters draw you in and you root for them. Leslie’s performance is, as usual, outstanding. His narration adds so much to the story and I particularly enjoy when I am using whispersync as I have his voices in my head when I reading as opposed to listening. Great book and performance. Highly recommend.

Cozy Perfection!
Cat Sebastian has created a marvelous addition to the cozy mystery genre - tradition with a twist. Veterans of World War 2 suffering its after effects, two men falling in love, family secrets. It is a pleasure listening to such a well written book with characters having depth and genuine emotion. Good narrator.

Great murder mystery!
Leo Page is an international man of mystery, plopped down in a small English village right after WWII. In the village he finds murder, mystery, and quirky townsfolk. But most of all he finds peace and love with the village doctor, James. This is a fun story and I wanted it to go on forever! Once again, Joel Leslie performs as a one-man band, I forgot at one point that this was single narration because Joel does such an amazing job bringing all the voices to life.

Just what I needed
This book/listen hit all the right spots for me. I was honestly surprised at how well the author blended mystery and romance. It is very well done. The story is entertaining and the all of the characters are beautifully written. Especially Leo and James.
The narrator is phenomenal. This is the first book I've read by Joel Leslie and I am not disappointed. I love when I find a book that has a narrator that can truly bring it to life.
5/5 all around. I read this book twice and still want to read it again.

I think I must be getting old and soft. This book features a Dr and a Spy falling in love as they solve a couple of murders. And it really is in that order. Ordinarily I’d have given up but this has characters that are sweet under all their psychotic tendencies and a pair of batty old women to die for!

The narration by Joel Leslie only added to the ambiance.

Great production and narration
Great narration but the plot did not keep my interest, too drawn out.
I will listen to Joel again but think twice about another Cat Sebastian novel.

Great story and fabulous narration
I read the book when it came out, and loved it, so couldn't wait to listen to the audio version. Joel Leslie does SUCH a good job with all (and I mean all) the character voices, as well as the story-telling and emotion. It's a lovely tale, and the narration is spot on.

Nice story
I enjoyed the characters and the crime solving, but missed romance and emotions. Well narrated.
