Murder at St Anne's

A Yorkshire Murder Mystery, Book 7

By: J. R. Ellis

Narrated by: Michael Page

Winter, snow, murder—and a centuries-dead suspect.

In the chilly depths of a Yorkshire winter, a well-liked rector is found bludgeoned to death in her own church. With no sign of a murder weapon, local superstition quickly pins the blame on the ghost of a medieval monk believed to haunt the building...

Well accustomed to unusual murder investigations, DCI Jim Oldroyd takes on the case, along with his assistant, Sergeant Andy Carter, but they are hampered at every turn by the deepening snow and the threat of the supernatural. Even as possible motives and opportunities begin to reveal themselves, Oldroyd struggles to find a better suspect than the hooded phantom.

Has Oldroyd really found himself in the midst of a Gothic ghost story, or is there a very real killer at large? Spectre or otherwise, it soon becomes apparent that the murderer is not yet finished. And, for Oldroyd, it’s about to become personal...

okay

The book was generally okay. but I could have done without the preaching about misogyny and homophobia at the end. That's not what I was looking for in a book. not interested.

Totally Satisfying Read

I was drawn right into the mystery. It was good all the way through. I wanted to know the ending but didn’t want it to come to an end!

Great

I enjoyed it. Love the characters, and the away the story developed. It wasn’t who I thought

meh

I don’t read murder mystery fiction to learn about God. Neither am I interested in hearing the author banging on and on about people’s sexual preferences and whether or not they should be accepted by society. It’s not that these things aren’t important to me, it’s just that this is not the proper platform. This book is a Murder Mystery and would’ve been a wonderful murder mystery if not for the blathering about God and sexual preferences for hours. It almost feels as if the author is trying to prove to the world that he / she is not a homophobe. (Michael Page does an outstanding job as narrator!)

Excellent Read and Audible in all ways!

Bravo! I love everything about this book and the audible narration. From start to finish. The mystery and the social issues were wonderfully portrayed. I enjoy JR Ellis' Yorkshire mysteries. I've read every one and they are all very good. But, to me, this one is even better than the previous ones. I've said it before and will say it again, Please DONT STOP WRITING this series.
