Summary

Return to Cherrywood in the gripping and addictive new instalment in The Cherrywood Murder series. If you love a charming and quintessentially British cosy murder mystery, packed full of witty one-liners and an eclectic cast of characters, you won't want to miss this one. Perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, Hannah Hendy and Robert Thorogood.

WELCOME BACK TO CHERRYWOOD!

Preparations are underway for Cherrywood's annual celebration of Guy Fawkes Night . . .

When it's announced that the hotly anticipated 'Penny for the Guy' trail will have a celebrity judge - former DJ 'Screaming' Ade Adams - competition steps up amongst the villagers.

But as everyone gathers for the show, Ade is found dead atop the bonfire with three mysterious tarot cards in his pocket, and barmaid and part-time sleuth Tess Feather suspects foul play. Why would anyone in Cherrywood want the retired disc jockey dead? And could there be a connection to a recently returned villager: Tess's estranged brother Mikey?

Once again, Tess is forced to team up with her ex-boyfriend - private investigator Liam Hanley - and her friends Raven and Oliver as they investigate a tale of murder and vengeance that could go all the way to the top.

Entertaining, funny and an excellent mystery. Kept me guessing till the end. Can’t wait for the next episode

Entertaining, funny

The start of the story left me pretty cold and considering walking away. I'm afraid the narrator grated on my ears and I probably should have read the book myself.
Having a lengthy household task allowed the audio to keep me company and the characters activities began to hold my interest.
The various side stories were interesting and the ultimate unravelling of the mystery was fun, sad and rather easy to feel empathy.
I found some of the writing lacking in conviction. A tad immature. Possibly intentional considering most of the characters lived in close proximity all their lives. I didn't feel strongly about any of them .
I have got the first book, which I'd forgotten. It is unread. Not too sure I will remedy that now.

Big of a slow burner with an increasingly effective whoosh of energy.

Just as good, if not better, than The Cherrywood Murders. Great storyline and read so well, giving each character credibility. Loved it and was sorry when it finished.
Can highly recommend.
