About this listen

London, early 1950s. Marcia Beasley of St John's Wood is discovered dead in her home, naked and covered with a coal scuttle. Detective Sergeant Greenleaf is tasked with solving the crime and bringing meaning to her gruesome death, and it seems her whole social circle have secrets to hide and grudges to bear.

Who, for example, is the limping midnight visitor? Is the bibulous priest as ingenious as he seems? And will Mrs Burkiss ever yield her keys to the broom cupboard?

Critic reviews

"A perfect mixture of funny and acerbic, with a cast of colourful characters and a school of well-deployed red herrings, A Little Murder is wholly delightful." (Laura Wilson, author of Stratton’s War)

Too many characters to keep track of. Story quite good but takes some concentrating to really follow it at all times.

Long and a little too complex…

Lovely story, excellent twist. Nice period details and competent narrator. I only listened as it it was free but have put the next one on my wish list.

I enjoyed this. A light hearted murder but sometimes I got a bit lost with the characters. But having said that it made a nice change.

Different but enjoyable

very good, the author has a beautiful turn of phrase. the reader is overall very good, but the two policeman sound exactly the same which is a little confusing at the start.

relaxing mystery to go to sleep to

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Witty, charming and entertaining in an old school way, with great characters. I’ve already purchased the next in the series and can’t wait to get started.

Great listen
