Summary

Claire Barclay finds a home in England after 25 years of travelling. She has money, a tour guide business, and ambitions. She is shocked by the murder in her quiet village, but is not going to give up on the haven she has finally found. With the help of her sister, the barracuda barrister, her new dog, new friends, and the unexpected stimulus of a new man in her life, she deals with suspicion, confusion, and threats.

an enjoyable light cosy mystery

I enjoyed the descriptions of the countryside. the Americanisms were a bit peculiar but you have to suspend disbelief don't you. listen out for the narrator's peculiar pronunciation of Harrogate,which is mentioned about 50 times in the book so it does get a bit grating. otherwise gentle and a good bedtime read.

Interesting, relatable main characters

Good solid story, not annoying. Nice details about Agatha Christie's life and dog training amd legal issues. Main character's approach to romance was not irritating, which is all I ask for these days.

very enjoyable and good plot

enjoyed story and narration, one too many American words instead of English words which were irritating but otherwise a good listen

OK for free

Story is fine, nothing brilliant but fine to listen to when doing other things. Some Americanisms are a bit odd, trash, dog licence required in England - they're not. Perhaps I'm just too pedantic!

Enjoyable and ok

Story was ok but the constant mention of and comparison with Seattle was quite irritating!

Irritating narration amongst other things. Couldn’t finish the book.

Faux English accent of the narrator - would have been ideal if narrating Brief Encounter. Main character not very engaging.
