Melissa Craig is absolutely delighted with her new life in an old crumbling cottage, spending her days pruning the primroses and getting to know Binkie, the ginger cat next door. She only wishes she had made the move to the countryside sooner. But when a knock at the door brings news of a shocking discovery, she suddenly finds herself thrown in to the middle of a baffling mystery: the bones of a young woman have been found in the woods just behind her new home. Perhaps the little village of Upper Bembury is not as idyllic as it first seemed? Strange phone calls in the night convince Melissa that the police are barking up completely the wrong tree, so she can’t resist doing a little digging of her own. From the bingo hall to the beauty salon and beyond, her search ruffles a few feathers and uncovers many of the village’s most scandalous secrets, but gets her no closer to finding the culprit.

Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

Beatrix is breaking from overbearing. Parents, doing what she loves.
What does Virginia Leishman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Oh my a third dimension of charm
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes found the clock rang 3 am and had to force myself to sleep

Beatrix Potter comes to life.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I enjoyed reading Beatrix Potter's stories to my son when he was young. This is a grown up version along the lines of a traditional English cozy mystery. I loved the way the author brought Beatrix and her animal friends to life. Incorporating the life of Ms. Potter kept me wanting to listen longer. I really didn't want the story to end.
Any additional comments?
I'm so glad to know there are more books in the series and as soon as I am through writing this review I will be ordering book 2.

Not my cup of tea...the animals talk?
I didn't even get through the first chapter. This isn't what I expected. My mistake for not reading the description more carefully. I like a good English village mystery with a local sleuth, but my initial impression is that this is like a childrens book with talking animals. I am more inclined toward Louise Penney, Arnaud Gamache series (set in a Canadian village), or period mysteries by Georgette Heyer, Tasha Alexander, or Deanna Rayybourn. I will return.

A cosy village story, sterotypical characters
This is a tranquil read. The characters are totally stock, nothing unfamiliar with the exception of imaginary conversations between characters. There is some mild criminality and essentially no violence if you give a pass to the horribly constrained and desperate lives of women in Victorian England. Given that the heroine is Beatrix Potter, this somewhat annoying feature only cost the story one star. As an introduction to a series, it is a bit underwhelming, but I am going to give it a second chance to heat up by listening to the second novel.

Fabulous!
What did you love best about The Tale of Hill Top Farm?
I'm a cozy mystery lover & Beatrix Potter admirer so this series I couldn't pass up. This series focuses on the making of Beatrix, her independence and her new life away from her parents as a single woman on her own in the country. Those things all very risqué for the times. Susan Wittig-Albert includes the animals that made up Beatrix's life and found their ways into her classic children's stories. Of course this is a fun novelization not a biographical portrayal but enjoyable and quite fun!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Beatrix of course is going to be everyone's favorite! If you enjoy Rita Mae Brown's Sneaky Pie books or her foxhunting series the animal character's are quite similar in this series
Have you listened to any of Virginia Leishman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Virginia did a fabulous job. Many entertaining voices as she acts out the narration and her own lovely English accent adds a great deal to the story
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The book is relaxing as most cozy mysteries are, never any bad language or uncomfortable situations. The simple lunch in the field of bread & cheese was the best scene, the author has a talent for making it feel as if you've just taken a journey to the lake district
