Murder Among the Roses

Maybridge Murder Mysteries, Book 1

De: Liz Fielding

Narrado por: Deirdra Whelan

In the peaceful village of Maybridge, you wouldn't expect to find a dead body in the rose garden. And certainly not two.

Abby Finch is horrified to discover the bones of a baby long-since buried under a rose bush in the garden of her soon-to-be ex-husband Howard's family home.

She immediately calls the police but she can't get hold of Howard. He's off on a jolly with the very pregnant soon-to-be new Mrs. Finch.

Abby will do whatever it takes to keep things cordial for the sake of her three children. But when Howard learns the press have found out, he's livid. He accuses Abby of sabotaging his fledgling political campaign.

And then, just two days later, Abby finds Howard himself. Lying dead in the very same rose garden. Throat slashed with her own garden spade.

Now Abby is the prime suspect. Somebody in this quiet village is hiding a dark secret. And Abby will have to dig deep to uncover the truth.

Fans of Faith Martin, Jane Adams, Frances Evesham, M. C. Beaton, Clare Chase, or Jeanne M. Dams will love this addictive cozy mystery!

Secrets, Lies, and a Perfectly Satisfying Ending

Murder Among the Roses was an absolute joy to listen to. The story weaves together multiple storylines with rich, imaginative characters that kept me completely hooked. Between the murder, the mystery, long-held secrets, and some truly heartbreaking moments, there’s always something unfolding that pulls you in.

I ended up listening to the entire book in one day—I just couldn’t stop. The ending was perfectly done, tying everything together in a way that felt both satisfying and true to the story. The murder is solved, mysteries are unraveled, rivalries come to a head, and secrets are both revealed and kept.

I actually clapped when it ended.

Kudos to Liz Fielding for such a beautifully crafted story, and to Deirdra Whelan for bringing it to life so wonderfully.

Highly recommend—I can’t wait to start the next book in the series.

This was free so I had no expectations. I was captured right away and couldn’t stop listening. The story is long and winding and each bend in the narrative took me further into this family and their tragedies and victories. Good book.
