About this listen

September 1939. 

A new day dawns in Sackwater, not that this sleepy backwater is taking much notice....

Inspector Betty Church - one of the few female officers on the force - has arrived from London to fill a vacancy at Sackwater police station. But Betty isn't new here. This is the place she grew up. 

Time ticks slowly in Sackwater. Having solved the case of the missing buttons, Betty's called to the train station to investigate a missing bench. But though there's no bench, there is a body. A smartly dressed man, murdered in broad daylight, with two distinctive puncture wounds in his throat. 

While the locals gossip about the Suffolk Vampire, Betty Church readies herself to hunt a dangerous killer.

Thoroughly enjoyable, rather off the wall mystery! Loved that it followed on from the wonderful Sydney Grice and March Middleton books. Looking forward to the next one...

Wonderful fun...

Having enjoyed the author's Gower St. Detectives we thought we'd give Betty Church a chance. The first thing with this book is most characters, save Betty, were written for comedic effect ( in the Gower Street series Molly was the brilliant light relief). However, from Betty's first encounter with the sarge, we, the readers, are given a parade of unworthy, unlikely, unemployable police personnel from the new recruits to the seasoned 'skivers'. NO, NO, NO, even in a time of war this bunch of no-hopers would not be allowed uphold law and order!

As for Betty's parents their almost evil treatment of their daughter passes any understanding. Passing the bulk of the book which, like the curate's is good in parts, the climax did it's best to save the day. It gave hope that the next stories may settle down to be decent mysteries.

This is not Gower St!

If you like your mystery full of plot twists, historical details, and wonderful and weird characters, this one may be for you. It is witty, and kept me guessing. A less skilled narrator would have trouble with the volume and range of characters, but this was expertly read.

Funny, Clever, Full of Characters
