From the authors of the best-selling series Cherringham.

When young Ben Carter is found murdered in an alleyway one snowy night in Mydworth, all the evidence points to his best pal, Oliver. And though Oliver swears he is innocent, judge and jury are quick to convict the young man. But at the eleventh hour, Harry and Kat become involved, and aren't convinced. With just days left before Oliver is to hang for the crime, they investigate. With the clock ticking can they find the real culprit in time... to save a life?

Nathaniel Parker + Harry + Kit = Cozy Mystery Hit

Narrator Nathaniel Parker always brings life, humor and authenticity to audiobooks. His range of characters is breathtaking.

The Mydworth Mysteries series is top drawer cozy mystery entertainment and this book is one of the best.

The story moves quickly through plenty of twists and turns. Harry and Kit are delightful, resourceful sleuths who bring espionage skills to each investigation.

I love sharing author Neil Richards’ historical references to the stories’ post-WWI world with my husband who is a Brit. We particularly appreciate the Alvis.

Looking forward to the next mystery in Nice at the Negresco. Also, what a great TV series this could be!

Love this series

A great “Cozy Mystery “! The series is a good combo of characters like in the Thin Man series. The narrator is very good with all the characters too!

Another fine story from the same authors

My wife and I enjoy the several mysteries these authors have given us. Particularly this couple of married detectives. It is so pleasant to find two people who work so well together and incidentally happen to be in love with each other and married.

A feel good experience

A whole lot of story in a small package. You might think it would be simple. You would be wrong.

Fun Cozy Mystery with Wonderful Narration

I listen to a lot of audiobooks especially mystery series and Nathaniel Parker is one of the best narrators in the business (he also does all the Artemis Fowl books)
And I always enjoy any Mathew Costello and Neil Richards’ cozy mystery series. The main characters are always likable and charming, And stories are always fun with twists and turns but never end way too off base as some mysteries can.
I highly suggest this series and their other books
