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.

After summer rains uncover a tattooed body on a Lake District hillside, an old wives' tale takes on new plausibility. For centuries, Lakelanders have whispered that Fletcher Christian staged the massacre on Pitcairn so that he could return home. And once there, what if he told his story to William Wordsworth, who turned it into a narrative poem? Jane Gresham feels compelled to discover whether the manuscript ever existed or still does. But as she pursues each new lead, death follows hard on her heels.

If you're a fan of the flu ...
The author did a great job of making me feel like I had the flu along with the main character—all muzzy-headed and droopy. But I don't like feeling like I have the flu.

Tedious
I have not read anything by this author before but enjoy a good cozy mystery. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this was not one. The mystery in this story took a back seat to the main character's constant whining of "I've got flu!" More time is spent on her flu, her lack of anyone to help her, her trials and tribulations of dog sitting, etc., etc., than the murders/possible murders. All was tied up neatly (and rather quickly) in the end. Perhaps this is a book that might be better read than listened to, as you could skim over some of the incessant whining. I listened to the entire thing because I hate to leave books unfinished but, by the end, I didn't particularly even care "whodunnit".

Worse Book Ever
The author rambles and makes the main character into a brainless ninny. Most of the book consists of irrelevant ramblings that makes the reader constantly wonder if there will ever be a point to the story. The only likable characters are the animals and the man next door, who only has a brief appearance. This book should have been a two page magazine story.

Pathetic main character
What was most disappointing about Rebecca Tope’s story?
Absolutely pathetic main character and a poor story line.
Did Caroline Lennon do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?
Yes
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
annoyance at such a pathetic wimp
Any additional comments?
What a horrid, whining character Thea is. Her continual moaning spoilt the whole story.

Story4 out of 5 stars 959
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.

After summer rains uncover a tattooed body on a Lake District hillside, an old wives' tale takes on new plausibility. For centuries, Lakelanders have whispered that Fletcher Christian staged the massacre on Pitcairn so that he could return home. And once there, what if he told his story to William Wordsworth, who turned it into a narrative poem? Jane Gresham feels compelled to discover whether the manuscript ever existed or still does. But as she pursues each new lead, death follows hard on her heels.
