About this listen

Claire Barclay finds a home in England after 25 years of travelling. She has money, a tour guide business, and ambitions. She is shocked by the murder in her quiet village, but is not going to give up on the haven she has finally found. With the help of her sister, the barracuda barrister, her new dog, new friends, and the unexpected stimulus of a new man in her life, she deals with suspicion, confusion, and threats.

enjoyed story and narration, one too many American words instead of English words which were irritating but otherwise a good listen

very enjoyable and good plot

I really enjoyed this book. As the first in a series much of it is setting the scenario and establishing characters, yet it never drags. The characters are believable and the setting recognisable. What made it outstanding for me was the narrator. I look forward to more.

This story was OK but not gripping. I found it distracting that English characters in Hampshire kept using American terms. Fall instead of autumn, tracks instead of footpaths, cell phones instead of mobiles.

OK story but Americanisms were distracting

It was a nice murder mystery story but the reason I have purchased my next book in the series is the concept. I wish I had thought of setting up a company, taking small parties of avid mystery readers to visit the locations, where the crimes were committed and having a mystery reenactment evening. Sounds like great fun to me and getting paid for it too. Forget the murder or the crime, just to be along for the ride and the mystery dressing up evening, is enough for me, I would buy the book for that.

What a great idea

Good solid story, not annoying. Nice details about Agatha Christie's life and dog training amd legal issues. Main character's approach to romance was not irritating, which is all I ask for these days.

Interesting, relatable main characters
