Summary

A sinister phone call in the middle of the night throws tearoom sleuth, Gemma Rose, straight into the heart of a new murder - featuring a mysterious killing in the cloisters of an old Oxford college. The investigation points to scandals and feuds within the University, but Gemma finds unexpected clues popping up in her little Cotswolds village as she sets out to solve the mystery with the help of her mischievous tabby cat, Muesli. Meanwhile, her quaint English tearoom is in trouble, with kitchen explosions galore and a missing pastry chef...and her love life is in turmoil as she struggles to decide between the dashing Dr Lincoln Green and her old college flame, sexy CID detective Devlin O'Connor. Add an exasperating mother driving her as nutty as a fruitcake and the nosy Old Biddies meddling at every turn...can Gemma solve the mystery and save her best friend from a life behind bars?

It should have been called 2 down, fun to go.

If you are attracted to the cover than you should get this book. As its just like the cover picture, fun, cosy,light hearted murder mystery with a loveable cat.

This is the 3rd Gemma Rose, Oxford tea room mystery and its just like meeting up with old friends, as many of the loveable characters from the previous books have a part in helping Gemma clear her friend Seth's name when he is accused of killing an Oxford Professor.
You don't need to have listened or read the previous books as each book has an ending but in my opinion it helps make them more enjoyable. The old ladies (a group of 4 customers from the tea room) play a bigger part in this story as Gemma' s mum is away on holiday, (adding all sort of problems in its self as, she is the cook in Gemma' s tea room.) but she still manages to have you laughing out loud.

The narrator is very good and its an easy listen.

Another excellent audiobook

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend this audiobook to a friend, in fact I would recommend the whole series. The stories are full of humour, intrigue, romance and murder, with the delightful background of a traditional english tea room.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Two Down, Bun to Go?

I found poor Cassie's attempt at baking very funny, from the mixer "blowing up" in the kitchen to her failed baking attempts.

Which character – as performed by Pearl Hewitt – was your favourite?

Pearl Hewitt's repertoire of character voices is more diverse in this book, I actually liked her voicing of the homeless person Owen.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would have liked to listen to this book in one go, but limiting myself to a an hour or two a day makes it something to look forward to.

Any additional comments?

I have really enjoyed listening to this book (this is the second time I have listened to it and I have also read the ebook). The descriptions of Oxford brings back memories of when I was a student. The "old biddies" are as meddlesome as usual and Museli is up to mischief again.

Good!

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this third instalment in the series. Gemma is embroiled in another escapade after her friend, Seth, is accused of a murder at Oxford University. The Old Biddies are also on hand to help along the investigation. It is a quick read and the mystery kept me turning the pages.
I enjoy Lincoln's role as a rival for Gemma's affections but I like him too much to see him to get too romantically attached to her. Devlin is her one true love.
I felt that the book lacked some of the spark and humour that I enjoyed so much in the first two. Gemma's hilarious mother is away on holiday for much of the story and I missed the extra light-heartedness that she brings. Hopefully we will see more of her in book 4.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

It's OK and lacks authenticity

There is something forced and unauthentic generally about the language of the book, the "forced" artificial Englishness. It's like someone has tried to turn quintessential Englishness into squeezy cheese and is forcing it down your throat.

There is an uncomfortable mixture of new and outdated language in book. An 18 year-old in the book uses the expression "fishwife". Have you ever heard an 18 year old say that? Maybe an 80 year old. But I work with students, and I can tell you that no 18 year old has even heard of the expression "fishwife" and would never use it if they had. Then we get the almost childish, outdated words like "ninny" being used alongside quite full-on swearing. It's difficult to know whether the story is set in 1915 or 2015.

In any sense, it really represent modern Oxford. I should know. I lived and worked there for many years.
