enjoyable series
In the second book of this series, Tommy and Evelyn must solve the murder of one of their guests who has come for the village fete. This book deals with a more serious issue than the first one, Tommy's struggles with his memories of the war, and through this we get a better understanding of his character. As in the first book, Tommy and Evelyn work together to solve the mystery. The story is well written and the characters really come to life. The narrator does a good job of differentiating between all the characters and is enjoyable to listen to. I look forward to reading (or listening to) the next entry in this series.

English Cozy
This is the second book in the series with Tommy & Evelyn Christie as the local sleuths. Evelyn is prepared to host the Village Fete when a member of Parliament is found dead on her husband's land. Evelyn and her husband work to solve the murder. I enjoy this series very much, not only because the setting takes place in the 1920's in an English manor home, but also because of the genuine love and caring that the author portrays between Tommy and Evelyn. I recommend this series to others who enjoy cozy mysteries. Alex Lee's narration is great as her performance adds to the entertainment of the story. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

Disappointed
The writing is very cluttered and the story is unoriginal. One or two characters are appealing but not at all believable. The narration is very annoying. I cannot stand the breathless high pitch voices of some of the female characters. I will return this book if possible.
