Summary
Meet Eve Mallow: an American far from home, a professional busybody...and an amateur detective?
Seasoned obituary writer Eve Mallow has a new assignment: to tell the life story of famed musician Bernard Fitzpatrick. A chance to spend a few days in the sweet little village of Saxford St. Peter, walking the country lanes with her beloved dachshund, Gus, and meeting new people sounds like a dream. But it turns out that Bernard’s life was much less interesting than his death. On the day she arrives, news breaks that the charismatic cellist was the victim of a grisly murder. Could this quaint English village be hiding a dark secret?
As Eve starts to interview Bernard’s friends and colleagues, she finds that he’d ruffled a few feathers. In fact, from the keepers of the Cross Keys Inn to his own staff at High House, there’s barely a person in town who doesn’t have some reason to hate him.... Is one of the friendly villagers a cold-blooded killer?
Eve hoped Saxford St. Peter would be the perfect escape from her busy city life. But there is darkness even in the most sunlit of settings. And when a second body is found, Eve becomes certain that one of the people she’s met must be the murderer. She has never done any detective work before...but is there something in her notes that can crack the case?

Cosy and comforting
Well-written, with a cosy village background and a wealth of characters, though I did guess the ending correctly. Going to listen to the next one now

A really cosy mystery
When this book was described to me as a cosy mystery I was a little reluctant. I had visions of Angela Landsbury in Cabbot Cove with a murdered cousin however it was still a thoroughly enjoyable listen. The narrator kept me listening and I enjoyed the protagonists "investigation". It is a cosy mystery and it was a lovely change from the usual helter skelter anxiety inducing thrillers I usually listen to.

Cute and Cosy
Mystery on Hidden Lane is exactly what it says on the tin. A cosy mystery, which manages to maintain the listener's interest whilst never taxing the brain too much. Saxford St. Peter sounds idyllic and somewhere I'd very much like to visit, especially the tea rooms. Eve Mallow is a likeable character and I can see this series is going to run and run. Well narrated by Eilidh Beaton.

Great start to a new series
When Eve Mallow travels to the Quaint English village of Saxford St Peter to write the Obituary of a famous Cellist she is shocked to discover that he has been murdered. Whilst researching for the obituary she soon uncovers information that could lead to the murderer but has she put herself in danger? An intriguing cosy murder mystery and a great start to a new series.

A good cosy mystery
This book was my first cosy mystery and it was a nice easy listen. I listened on audible and felt the narrator did a great job.
If you like cosy mysteries then I think you would enjoy this book.

Pleasantly entertaining
Interesting premise and clearly setting up for a series, with a nice enough future cast of "regulars", an interesting "mystery" element with a few twists and turns and a neat resolution.
But I found it a little slow going, even for a cosy story.
Good performance by the narrator, mixing a variety of English voices with an American one.
