About this listen

A gripping cosy mystery set in Durham, for fans of Faith Martin and Betty Rowlands.

When librarian and budding Private Investigator Kitt Hartley visits her ex-assistant Grace Edwards in Durham, she soon learns of an unsolved murder.

A year ago, Jodie Perkins, a Mechanics student, disappeared after her student-radio broadcast was cut short with a deafening scream. The police suspect Jodie was murdered although her body was never found.

Keen to be on the front line of one of Kitt's investigations, Grace convinces Kit to use her recent private investigator training to solve the mystery. Can Kitt and Grace uncover the truth?

I was looking forward to the new book but the change in narrator has spoiled the whole experience for me. I found her to be a bit dreary and uninspiring

Disappointed

I kept listening because I want to know what happened to the characters but I’m not keen on the change of narrator. It has changed the characters beyond recognition- especially kitt. It’s not to take away from the narrator but I really hope they go back to Eilidh Beaton for the next book as she made the characters believable and lovable

Change of narrator took away from the story

I really enjoy Helen Cox’s books and would have enjoyed the performance if I had not previously heard them read by Eilidh Beaton. Please bring her back as the reader on this series. Her death of characterisation is enthralling and lifts already good characters to new heights. I could not have chosen a better reader to voice Cox’s books than Beaton.

Great book but wrong performer

Unfortunately the narrator changed. I absolutely loved the narration on the previous books, it really made it for me. But unfortunately lt changed and this gives the book a different feel. I also felt the narration to not be as engaging and entertaining to listen to.

Good but nowhere near previous books

Won’t listen again.

Bring back Eilidh
