Recently divorced and reluctantly retired, Julia Bird has fled London to enjoy idyllic rural life in the Cotswolds.

But who could it be, and who killed them? The police draw a blank, and even the gossip-fest that is the local book club can’t remember anyone going missing in the village.

Publisher's Summary
Meet Flora Steele - bookshop owner, bicycle-rider, daydreamer, and amateur detective!
Sussex, 1955: When bookshop owner Flora Steele goes for a walk along the pier she isn’t expecting to spot a young woman’s body in the stormy waters below. And she’s shocked to discover the victim is someone she knows....
Convinced the death was not an accident, Flora persuades attractive local crime writer Jack Carrington to help her find out what really happened to poor Polly Dakers, a popular young woman with a complicated love life, who’d been at the heart of village life in Abbeymead.
Jack is reluctant to get involved in another murder case at first, but even he can’t deny that Polly’s fall seems fishy. An argument at a party, a missed hairdresser’s appointment, and a red woolen bobble found on the wooden boards where Polly last stood provide a trail of clues....
As they grow closer to solving the puzzling mystery, the unlikely pair stumbles upon several surprising secrets about those closest to Polly. A number of potential suspects begin to emerge. But who really disliked Polly enough to kill her? Was it Raymond, her jilted first love? Harry, her latest beau? Or Evelyn, Harry’s jealous estranged wife?
As the investigation brings them closer to the truth, Flora is intent on unmasking the killer - but will her stealthy sleuthing lead her down a dangerous path?
An utterly delightful cozy crime novel set in the fictional Sussex village of Abbeymead. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin, and Joy Ellis!

Very difficult to listen to
I listened to the first book in this series and had some trouble with the narrator’s voice but the story was fairly interesting so I decided to get this second book. This was a mistake. The narrator’s was so irritating I could not get involved in the story and just wanted it to be over.
I tried to return it but was not allowed to.

Enchanting!
I so enjoyed the first book in this series, that I wanted to continue the adventures with Jack and Flora! The story is well written, and I really like the narration by Charlie Norfolk. I don't appreciate it when the narrators change mid series, as I've developed an association between voice and character, so was very pleased Charlie has remained the narrator -- Charlie IS Flora for me. I'll be continuing on with the series, and will look for other things by this author.

Superb narrator. Enjoyable story, but also frustrating. The guilty person was obvious very early on to the reader, but Flora and Jack were completely oblivious despite gathering significant clues that should have lead them much sooner to the murderer. Still, despite Flora and Jack’s unbelievable ignorance, the lovely writing, character development, and other aspects of the story redeemed it. My affection for the characters and the village grew. I love forward to reading more of their adventures.
