A Good Book
This is the third in the series. I would firstly say go back and start with part one. They could be listened to out of order. But best start at the beginning A Fatal Obsession. that said they are all well written, if at times a little silly and far fetched. But to me that added to the charm of these easy to listen tales. All of which I have enjoyed thoroughly. Stephanie Racine does a great job narrating the stories. I ploughed my way through all three downloading the next straight after finishing one. I recommend highly.

Very poor.
No story, dull characters, could have 2/3's shorter. I made the mistake of reading a review that compared this author to PD James. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Bit Childish
I bought this purely on reviews. When I started reading I was certain I'd made a mistake as the whole package - story, characters are surely meant for the 'young readers' section. Even the narrator sounds as if she's reading for this market. Couldn't finish, maybe I'm just jaded.

Unique storyline
This is another great plot from Faith Martin. The characters are believable, and all have a place in the story. Brilliantly performed.

Love this unlikely duo
I really like this series featuring an unlikely pairing of a probationary officer and a cornerer with his own issues.
The character development is amazing. The two make a great team. This storyline differ freely from their previous cases, but was necessary for the advancement of the series.
This book finds them in the world of beauty pageants and. up against a formidable killer. You will have to listen for details. It is worth a credit.
I am looking forward to the next one.

Love this series
What fun! I enjoy this team of sleuths so much! Can't wait for the next one! The idea of teaming a young woman police constable and a near retirement coroner is genius. These stories are not too gritty but there is suspense enough with very interesting cases. Best read in order. Enjoy!!

Well done!
I am a huge fan of Faith Martin and read ALL of her Hillary Greene procedurals since they haven't been released in audio format. I was absolutely delighted with the choice of narrator for this third outing of the Ryder Loveday series. Stephanie Racine was flawless. I hope to hear her narrate more British mysteries. The sense of time and place that Faith Martin imbues her stories with was captured in this 1960's Oxford setting. The story was a true whodunit since I had no clue of the villain until the coroner sleuth, Dr. Ryder and the WPC, Trudy Lovelace, who is up against all kinds of stereotyping by her chauvinist boss and male coworkers as the first female police constable at this station make a good team. I look forward to more in this series and read by Stephanie Racine!

It took a while to really get into this one.
This was a very good story it just took a while to get into it. It was slow moving ....ar first. The characters were very intelligent and interesting. A sad in all Faith Martin 's books there is always that subtle humor. The narration was re written lly well done.
