About this listen

 When Meredith Mitchell agreed to stay with her actress cousin, Eve, in the run up to Eve's daughter's wedding, she anticipated a degree of drama. But she can hardly have expected it to include murder, blackmail, and unrequited love. Or to involve a certain Chief Inspector Markby, a middle-aged divorcee.

As material witness to the only case of murder the Cotswold village of Westerfield has ever seen, Meredith soon becomes involved in the case and with helping Chief Inspector Markby. Meredith is a career diplomat and soon needs her considerable skills when steering a path between her duty to the police and loyalty to her cousin's family.

Really enjoyed this story and the characters. Narration was great. I will certainly be listening to more Mitchell and Markby mysteries. If I have any any minor criticism, I felt the last chapter was too long winded and slow.

don't like the snobbery. pity the village was made out to be so awful. similar characters are to be found everywhere. Mitchell quite irritating at times. however saved by Alan markby. he eventually brought out the best in her. liked his sister. didn't see the twist at the end coming .

extreme characters

Rather Miss Marple. Murders in a quaint village set in the early 90s….well a pint of milk was 31p. Had to look that up. Well read and you could picture the characters. Looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Interesting storyline in 90s village

Really enjoyed the main characters - and a good plot too. Well narrated as well.

Great start to a series

A good story marred by one major flaw. The characters seems to be forever sullen, grumpy and generally emotionally immature.

Says a lot about the author.
