Summary
Dr Nell Ward is delighted when her childhood friend Percy announces she's engaged to handsome businessman Hawke McAnstruther - and rashly offers to host the wedding at Finchmere, her family's estate. But she hadn't anticipated Percy's parents' fiery disapproval of the groom.
The ceremony is barely over before Hawke's shady personal and professional life starts to unravel, and tension ripples through the assembled guests. When the wedding night ends with a shocking death, Nell, best-friend Rav and DI James Clarke all find themselves embroiled in a murder mystery worthy of Agatha Christie.
Surviving a terrifying threat to her own life, Nell has to face up to the truth. Not just about murder at Finchmere, but about where her heart truly lies...
The second book in the Nell Ward cosy crime series - perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Fiona Leitch, Faith Martin and The Appeal.

Bit far fetched ! But enjoyable of your just go with it.
Too many characters. I flint hard to follow them all. And all a bit too calm staying in a house of suspected murderers. Suspend belief and you will enjoy it.

Fabulous!
This is the second of these books that I’ve listened to, and I’ve really enjoyed both. A great storyline extremely well told, but my favourite thing is the buckets of fantastic detail sprinkled throughout with a masterfully light touch. Brilliant!

I wanted to like this more
I didn’t enjoy this 2nd book in the series as much as the first. There was much less science involved. This book was a lot more of a “whodunnit” than the first, which held a bit more interest, but there were a few too many over dramatised / cliched love triangles for me.

Gripping story
It’s unusual to find a book that has both strong rounded characters and a a gripping, plot. I have read both books in this series and if anything this one is even better than the first, maybe because I’ve already gotten to know, and care about, the principal characters.
I can’t wait for the third book in the trilogy.

Refreshingly different
Fabulous, full of twists and turns, really feel like I’ve bonded with the characters, and Kristen is a perfect match for narration to this series. Roll on the next one

A more believable crime
I found this second book in the series a more believable crime and motive, although the behaviours of the characters less so. They seem intent on making a drama out of a crisis, all that was missing was the twirling of moustaches and the wail of ‘save me’ from a poor little rich girl. The narrator continues to fully differentiate the characters with good vocal skills, but the slowing down of sentences to create suspenseful moments continues to grate; just give us a bit of ‘Jaws’ music and be done with it!
