About this listen

On a visit to the ruins of Madderstone Abbey, Penelope Lambe suffers a bad fall and before she slips into unconsciousness, manages to say, “I saw her… It was her”. Some take these words to mean that Penelope saw the Grey Nun, the ghost reputed to haunt the abbey, but Miss Dido Kent is unconvinced and is determined to find the real cause. Dido directs all her mental energy to solving the mystery and revisits the ruins looking for clues. But events start to seem more sinister when a human skeleton is found at the abbey. But how is Miss Lambe’s accident connected to this discovery? Everyone is relying on Dido to find out.

I have already read this series of books and find them a delightful change from usual "Who Done Its". It is also an interesting view of feminism thoughts so long ago.
Although the narrator was acceptable I really did not like the voices she used. There are far better narrators out there but she did not ruin the story which happens sometimes. Overall it was a satisfactory listen and I will certainly listen to it again at some time.

Enjoyable listen
