Country House Murder

I was kept guessing until the great reveal. That rarely happens. I did not care for the narrator, as she added a k to words with an -ing suffix, and her male voices were shrill. I will purchase the next book in the series, a comfy, cozy read.

A bit slow

Entertaining enough to listen to during housework, but a bit repetitive, cliched, tedious, with an overemphasis on period etiquette & speech patterns instead of character development.

Good to put someone asleep

Too bland, not my type of narrator, guess I like more humor and faster pace.

meh

Murder Most English is bland and predictable. I returned it and won't get another book in this series.

Not worth my time

The story was ok, not great just ok, but the narrator was not. Won’t get anymore in the series.
