About this listen
The brand new instalment in the best-selling Exham-on-Sea series.
An unsolved murder echoes down the corridors of Cleeve Abbey for years.
The Exham-on-Sea’s History Society's annual summer picnic comes to an abrupt end when human bones are discovered in Washford River, beside historic Cleeve Abbey.
Thrilled to find evidence of a possible centuries-old murder mystery, the members of the society organise a ghost-hunting night in the ruins of Cleeve Abbey, despite amateur sleuth Libby Forest's reservations. Libby is a woman of many talents, a baker, chocolatier, even a reluctant sleuth, but she's no fan of the supernatural, and her doubts are justified when a friend is attacked under cover of darkness at the ghost-hunt. Distressed and angry, Libby sets out with her new husband, Max, and their two dogs, Bear and Shipley, to uncover the connection between the murder of a 16th-century monk and a present-day attack in picturesque Somerset. With friends and neighbours as suspects, Libby and Max close in on the culprit only to find that others are still in danger. There's no time to lose as the sins of the past threaten lives in the community.
Murder at the Abbey is the eighth in a series of Exham-on-Sea Murder Mysteries from the small English seaside town full of quirky characters, sea air and gossip.
If you love Agatha Christie-style mysteries, cosy crime, clever dogs and cake, then you'll love these intriguing whodunnits.

Absolutely delightful mystery
Well written lighthearted murder mystery. The characters are enchanting and blend well together. The narration is well paused and the voice/accent change is nicely performed to help distinguish each character. Can’t wait for the next one. Old definitely recommend.

Good story, but some annoying narration of male characters
I’ve listen to a couple of other stories in this series. They were ok. I liked the setting and liked the ghost hunt premise for this one. But I was surprised to find the narration of the male voices so annoying. It’s the same narrator as before and previously it didn’t bother me, but I found the male voices in this one so pompous and smug sounding I struggled to make it to the end.

Get better and more interesting
With each book. It’d be nice if the author can add to this as I’m finally getting an interest in Somerset. So far I’d expected a bit more history from the history society but they finally developed some personalities with back story.

Thoroughly enjoyed!
Another ‘cosy murder’ full of a variety of characters and a detailed story, set in a picturesque village. Curl up and enjoy it.
