Summary
A brilliant whodunnit mystery perfect for fans of M.C. Beaton and Richard Osman!
Murder stalks the cobbles in England’s finest Georgian town…
When an accident forces Felicia Grant back to her family’s auction house in Stamford, she vows it’ll only be a flying visit. But as the gavel falls on the final lot, a hidden secret is revealed—the body of her father’s business rival, murdered during the packed sale!
Soon, Felicia is swept into a mystery that has everyone in the community as a potential suspect―including her.
As the body count rises and with the people she loves under threat, Felicia takes matters into her own hands. But even the most picturesque place has its secrets…
Cover illustrated by local Stamford illustrator Katie Cardew.

Enjoyed it!
it took a while for me to get into it then I couldn't stop listening, the twist at the end was not expected at all! The narration was fantastic and was well worth listening to.

How many brummies are there in Stamford
Quite a sweet story, just a shame the narrator can only do brummie or Yorkshire accents - I’m almost certain there isn’t a huge West Mids demographic in the area.

Good for insomnia
I do like a cosy crime, but this story was a bit too gentle for my liking. Also, I didn’t relate to the central characters at all, apart from maybe the detective. They were annoying to the max. It all seemed a bit daft and twee. Stars are for the narrator who was excellent and he was the only reason I stuck with it.
