Summary

’Till death do us part may come sooner than they thought....

The year 1934. Kitty Underhay steps out of the battered Rolls Royce and onto the graveled driveway of Thurscomb Castle in deepest Yorkshire. She’s honored to be a bridesmaid at her cousin Lucy’s wedding to the reluctant Lord Rupert Woodcomb, but as family and friends gather for welcome drinks, Kitty dodges intrusive questions about her own marital status by taking a stroll about the castle grounds. As she passes through the manicured gardens, a fatal shot rings out....

The valet, Evans, is dead. And Kitty can’t help but notice how rattled the man standing next to him seems. Could Rupert’s best man, The Right Honorable Alexander "Sandy" Galsworthy, believe the speeding bullet was meant for him?

When she discovers that Sandy has been receiving blackmail notes, Kitty suspects that one of the assembled guests has plans to make good on their threats. The local constabulary won’t act on Kitty’s hunch, so, busy with her bridesmaid’s duties, she asks her beau, ex-army captain Matthew Bryant, to help.

The ceremony passes without a hitch. But when an anxious Sandy slips away during the dancing, Matt follows, only to make a hideous discovery: Sandy is dead, flattened on the terrace by some falling masonry.

Now the duo are sure that there is a murderer within the castle walls. But can they untangle Sandy’s final hours and catch this killer before they strike again, or will the wedding bells be replaced by a death knell for Kitty herself?

A completely charming cozy historical Golden Age murder mystery! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey, and Lee Strauss. 

The Miss Underhay Mystery series was previously narrated by Alex Tregear, who is now beginning a new adventure as she trains to be an occupational therapist.

Bring back Alex Tregear

I love this series and the reading normally brings the characters to life, Kitty is normally portrayed as a sweet, caring person.
This narration while good as a narrator is awful at the character voices, kitty sounds up herself, repressed and restrained, her voice and accent more suited to her gran. Her gran sounds at deaths door and for reasons only know to the reader, portrayed with a lower class of speech than the mc who has been given a plumb accent.
I ended turning it off and getting a refund.
I’m sorry but I couldn’t tolerate the reading and if future books aren’t read by Alex, I won’t be buying.

New narrator, not quite right

To be fair this narrator was very good but she made Kitty and Matt’s voices too affected. She gave them an edge of ‘posh’ and ‘upper class’ that they didn’t have before and it grates. It’s a shame because otherwise this new narrator did an excellent job and I HATE it when excellent narrators are changed.

Why why why have they changed the narrator?!?!?

I have loved this series until now but the new narrator has managed to eradicate everything I loved about these characters. She has changed Kitty into a stuck up know it all with a v plummy voice. Her accent is complete incorrect, let alone incredibly annoying. Matt us now cold and bossy and every servant sounds like they come from Bristol! Devonian is a very different accent to a west of England accent. Not to mention all the posh men sound the same, as do the posh women. It’s such a shame as the stories are great fun but what made them great for me was the narrating. The original one just took the books to another level. I will not be buying these again unless the again change the narrator to someone with a little more depth and experience in characterisation and accents!!!

Such a shame!

Hard to listen to

They changed the narrator which changes the whole book. So disappointed. Listened to all the other books and was really looking forward to the last, but feels like a completely different book with different characters. I would avoid this last one.

Kitty is too posh sounding

The story is okay, however, the narrator seems to be unfamiliar with previous narrations (or has deliberately gone for something different) of Kitty and Matt as they sound ridiculously posh and that is not how the characters are in the stories. The narration sounds more like the voices in the Lady and Lady's Maid mysteries by Alyssa Maxwell.

I love this series

Unfortunately struggled to complete this book as th narrator was not the usual one. I couldn't understand why Kitty suddenly sounded so much grander than her cousin considering the difference in their social status. I probably will not purchase the new book if the narrator is not Alex Tragear.

Only if you get the audio

Really like the story, but I have always listened to this series, so to have a new narrator has let it down. She has a lovely voice, but Kitty sounds to posh and old. Sorry but it spoiled my enjoyment of the book.

Review Murder at the wedding

Although I enjoyed the story of the book I was not keen on the new very “upper class” voices of some of my favourite characters, especially that of Kitty’s voice . This did somewhat spoil the book for me as I was keenly awaiting it’s arrival on Audible and was unfortunately disappointed.

Shame they changed the narrator

I really enjoy this series of novels so I am very disappointed to find they have a new narrator. she has made Kitty so unbearably posh that she now sounds like the Queen in 1956. Kitty and Matt have become TOTALLY inaccessible and this was so distracting I didn't enjoy the book anywhere near as much as before.

A favourite series of mine

I have been following the Miss Kitty Underhay series from the start though this was my first audiobook for it. Praise to its narrator for the range of voices that captured the characters so well
