Murder on the Brighton Express

Cleopatra Fox Mysteries, Book 9

De: C.J. Archer

Narrado por: Marian Hussey

Gossip, scandal and murder collide on the express train to London. Did the journalist fall from the first-class carriage, or was she pushed?

Cleo’s holiday with her family to the seaside resort town of Brighton is everything she hoped it would be…until she receives a blackmail note. The blackmailer demands Cleo help her or a story revealing Cleo’s investigating will appear in the newspaper. With her uncle warning her to keep her detecting activities private, Cleo agrees to meet the blackmailer when they return to London. But when the woman is seen getting on the train but not off, Cleo grows concerned.

She enlists the help of the hotel staff to search for the body along the railway line. Finding it confirms her suspicions and leads her to discover that her blackmailer was a gossip columnist. What scandal had the victim uncovered that led to her death? And which fellow passenger had a secret worth killing for?

With Harry Armitage’s assistance, Cleo attempts to track down the murderer. Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on the hotel staff to host a society wedding that will be featured in the social pages for all the right reasons.

95% great

The recording wasn't edited well and there were a few times were it skipped, the words were garbled, and once when a different novel in a different voice was announced in the middle of a sentence.

Other than that it was a good story and the narrator did a great jon.

Always keeps me on my toes!

I love the story line of these books!! I am always left on the edge of my seat. The characters are very interesting and the narrator did an amazing job as always! Can’t wait for the next book!

Solid series

The narrator is fantastic and I love the way “minor” characters have developed over time.

Another Great Mystery

Wonderful narration and an interesting cast of characters! Waiting for the next one will seem like an eternity! You can’t help but want to be along for the adventure with Cleo and Harry!

Always a delight!

I adore everything CJ Archer writes and equally adore Marian Hussey.

Cleo and Harry’s slow burn romance is killing me. I can’t wait till June!

Alway am happy to see a new book from this series

C. J. Archer has a hit with the Cleopatra Fox Mysteries. I love each book and look forward to the next book. Marian Hussey does a perfect narration for these books. It will not disappoint.

Kept me guessing

Thank you for another fabulous installment. Can’t wait for June! Marian Hussey and CJ Archer are a match made in heaven.

favorite narrator

the story line lost the banter; however the narrator made it work nicely. will still wait for the next book.

Lovely mysteries

This, like the others before, was a delightful listen. Didn’t suspect d culprit till Harry and Cleo’s revelation. The supporting characters and Mayfair Hotel’s role in the stories adds breadth to the tales. Also, the narrator is so good, I’d rather listen to the audiobooks than read the story—and I’m someone that would rather read than listen.

Another winner

Cleopatra Fox is a breath of fresh air. If you’re looking for a break from the typical reads, this is it. The mysteries are so well done and the characters are impeccably developed. Each book ends with a satisfying crime being solved. I’m so glad this series isn’t over yet.
