About this listen

The Fawcett Green bell-ringers don’t bat an eyelid when Simone Hollingsworth fails to turn up to practice. They merely assume that bell-ringing has become the latest in a long list of her abandoned hobbies.

But then the increasingly strange behaviour of Simone’s husband, Alan, begins to raise neighbourly suspicions about her whereabouts. And when the discovery of a body draws Chief Inspector Barnaby to the village, it becomes clear that unravelling the couple’s tangled lives will have painful repercussions for the whole village...

I loved this audio rendition of Faithful Unto Death. John Hopkins has the right voice for these stories

The right voice

Loved the characters as always and fascinating to witness different sides of our two main protagonists, emerge in ways not usually seen.
Great plot and some lovely and some sad characters. Heartbreaking in places.
Outstanding book and brilliantly narrated by the highly talented John Hopkins who is of course Scott in the TV series but could too, be Barnaby himself in this book, so excellent is his performance.

Great Plot and Superb Narration - faultless

As always, Caroline Graham writes masterfully. Her characters are deeply nuanced in all their colourful, idiosyncratic and flawed glory. With marvellous attention to detail and well paced dialogue it is always joyfully entertaining to listen to the audiobooks.

I enjoyed the performance, the narrator often sounds similar to John Nettles to my ears, giving me the illusion that Tom Barnaby is narrating at times. Of course the difference between the book version and the television adaptations is apparent, nonetheless, I have fond memories of those shows before political correctness tainted virtually everything that the social sciences came into contact with.

I eagerly await more in the series.

A masterful example of the genre.

I always enjoyed Midsumner Murders but I had thought the original books would be similarly trivial and amusing. Then I read the first one and realised the tv adaptation had done Caroline Graham no favours. She is a remarkable writer, ingenious plots laced with complex, perceptive characterisation. Her books keep me riveted for the 12 hrs or so it takes for the narration. All of them are brilliant!

Amazing author

An absolutely fabulous book.
I loved every listening minute of it.
This is the fifth I have listened to and none have disappointed.
The storyline, characters, twists and turns are on par with Christie, another favourite of mine.
The narration is also fabulous, John Hopkins is superb !
Please John ,don’t ever leave! Have you finished book 6 yet?
If not ,could you please hurry up.
Thank you to all involved in putting the Caroline Graham Midsomer series into audible books for us to listen to.
They are wonderful.

Wonderful book.

I felt as frustrated as Barnaby at the end of this book. What a complicated plot. A really good listen.

So many twists

Working my way through all of the Midsomer Murders by Caroline Graham. Previously read years ago and enjoyed and now enjoying them all on audio. I have enjoyed each one. The performance is exceptional. I Will be returning to these stories.

Great performance and story

I really enjoyed this story and it’s narration. Rich characters and great scene setting. Would recommend.

Five stars all round

This was completely spoiled for me by the disgusting inclusion of Troy
How could Barnaby allow this despicable creature to continue behaving in this dreadful manner?
It was a wonderful book but a very poor reflection on the Police force
at that time .

Wonderful writing
