About this listen

 In the heart of the Cotswolds, a body is found, that of a teenage girl, probably local - somebody's daughter who went out one evening and didn't come back. It's not long before she is identified: 15-year-old Lynne Wills, a habitual, underage drinker at The Silver Bells pub who, on the night of her death, was seen leaving with an unknown man.

Chief Inspector Markby's friend, Meredith Mitchell, has been befriended by another troubled local girl, Katie Conway. On the surface, Lynne and Katie have nothing in common except their age and home town. But could the insights Katie gives Meredith into her difficult family background throw some light on the other young girl?

Dislike, the need to suspend disbelief at the series of events.

Great story

Anne Granger's stories are not grittily realistic, like Ian Rankin's or Peter Robinson's, and are more like a modern-day Agatha Christie in that multiple murders are committed in English villages and amateur sleuthing contributes to the final resolution. If you like that genre you'll enjoy this book (and her others) as she produces well-crafted stories and creates characters you can see in your imagination. The writer is well-served by the excellent reading by Judith Boyd.

Another good story from Anne Granger

I love Ann Granger's writing, particularly this Mitchell and Markby series. To describe them as "cosy crimes" is doing them a great injustice. They're really so much more than that. And of course read so beautifully by the wonderful Judith Boyd. Fabulous.

Fabulous storytelling. Wonderful narration.
