About this listen

Summer, 1936: Writer Josephine Tey joins her friends in Portmeirion, meeting with Alfred Hitchcock to sign a film deal. Hitchcock has a few tricks planned to keep the party entertained, but things get out of hand when a Hollywood actress is brutally murdered. As fear and suspicion take over, Chief Inspector Archie Penrose becomes unsatisfied with the investigation. Several years later another horrific murder drives Penrose back to Portmeirion to uncover the shocking truth.

Despite reviews, I did not find this book confusing if you ignore chapters and dates at the start of each chapter as I think this is what’s confusing in Audio format.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The narrator as ALWAYS was brilliant!! And her Alfred Hitchcock was SO believable!!

I just love Ronnie and Lettuce and wish they featured more as they’re so funny!!

For me the main star of the show is Archie and to be honest I just wish Josephine and Marta would be dropped now....they just seem to have whole chapters about them thrown into a great book for no reason and to be honest it detracts from the book rather than adds.

Please Ms Upson, have the confidence in your great writing, without needing to add this whole imagined side to Miss Tey’s life that has no factual merit!!

Not confusing if you ignore chapters and dates

I've had others of this series and enjoyed them, but I really didn't enjoy this one at all. In particular, I found it unnecessarily gory. The reader was, as always, excellent. I shall not obtain/read any others by this author.

Not as good as the others

I enjoyed this book and the narrator was excellent, but I found the story a bit hard to follow in places and not quite as compelling as the previous books. I like the characters very much, but some of my favourite characters didn't play a very big part in this book. I found it rather sad to know that one important character was dead, but I can't criticise the author for that it's just a case of real life getting in the way.

I would recommend this author without hesitation, I have enjoyed this series of books very much.

Still very good but ......

Rather like other readers, as an audiobook it had too many bit part players and that made it rather hard too keep up. Good performance

A bit bitty

This was such a beautifully narrated story, yet again. Such a lovely listen. Feel quite bereft now I have finished it.

Yet another great read.
