De: Helena Dixon

Narrado por: Karen Cass

Completely addictive British cozy crime mystery

A bright blue sky, a glamorous boating party, an English manor house on the Cornish cliffs… and surely not another murder! Get Kitty Underhay on the case!

Cornwall, 1937. Kitty Underhay has been called to investigate some fishy goings-on in the beautiful coastal village of St Mawes. The body of Lady Cordelia Hedges’ beloved father was found floating in the sea, and shortly afterwards Cordelia herself was almost killed…

Determined to piece together the puzzle, Kitty spends her first evening in the Cornish bay at one of Cordelia’s lavish parties. But she’s not just soaking up the idyllic surroundings with her husband Matt, she’s at the party to get to know those closest to their host. The sleuthing duo quickly realise they’re in unchartered waters and this could be their toughest case yet.

Later that evening, a scream wakes Kitty in the middle of the night: Lady Cordelia is sitting bolt upright in bed, swearing someone has been in her room. As Bertie the dog retrieves a knife from behind the curtain, Kitty’s list of suspects grows: could the murderer be Cordelia’s suspicious stepsister, her spoiled future mother-in-law, or someone even closer to home…?

Then a house guest eats a poisoned chocolate from a box addressed to Cordelia and dies. This latest tragedy helps Kitty to make progress in her investigations at last. But is Kitty floundering? Will she be able to solve this case before someone else gets hurt, or will Kitty end up in a watery grave?

Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Lee Strauss will adore this utterly charming murder mystery. The perfect treat for cozy crime fans!

Love this series!

The series of mysteries with Matt and Kitty are so entertaining! I always finish one and count on soon starting the next one!

definitely one of the stronger plots of the series

It did end with a bit of a sad story, but it was one of the better more complex plots of the series

Best one!

Best book in the series! Worth the credit for sure. Plot kept twisting and I found myself really eager to know what happened.

Excellent

Great twists! I didn't guess the culprit and was surprised by the ending. Looking forward to the next installment

Enjoyable easy read

I enjoyed this book, actually this whole series. It has some romance, some mystery and is entertaining without being stressful.

Disliked this one

I have enjoyed all of these books until this one. I didn’t like the characters, they were unsympathetic in spite of the author’s attempt to make them “understandable.” I disliked the ending and it wasn’t believable given the build up. Listen to all the other books but skip this one.
