Alfie McAlister has retreated from London to the peace and quiet of the country to recover from a personal tragedy. But an accidental death - which may have been no accident - reveals that the heart of England is far from the tranquil backwater he imagined.

Love!!!!!
I couldn’t possibly love this series more than I do. Well, that’s a lie. I’d love them more if they were longer. Such great stories, and clean as well. I hope Ms. Marchmont (don’t know if that is correct or not) will someday make them longer. And Nathaniel Parker does such a wonderful job at narration! You will love these books I’m sure. You will surely fall in love with the characters.

Hurray! Bunburry is back!
I was afraid that the Bunburry series was never going to return, and that the excellent Nathaniel Parker was condemned to waste his talents reading the feeble Mydworth Mysteries. Unlike Mydworth and the stodgy Cherringham, Bunburry is inhabited by people who are vivid, quirky, sometimes outrageous and often funny. But there is also a serious side to the story-line, in which many of the villagers are trying to help - sometimes unobtrusively, sometimes clumsily - the central character gradually come to terms with unpleasant events which happened before the story starts..... And as a bonus there is the hero's friend, a latter-day Oscar Wilde, witty, kind and rich (richer than the real Oscar ever managed to be).

Excellent, as always.
Alfie is back in Bunbury investigating another mystery which threatens Liz and Marge’s fudge making business. The story is excellent, as always. Thankfully, the irritating Betty has not returned and there is the possibility of romance with Emma. I hope so in the coming two other stories. A word of advice if you have Audible membership and use credits- these are shortish stories and it’s better value to buy with a card. That is something I stupidly took a while to realise!
