About this listen

Kitty Underhay is riding a carousel...with death.

Summer 1935. Enjoying a belated honeymoon visiting her new husband Matt’s family in the rolling Yorkshire hills, Kitty strolls through a village fair. But when Kitty persuades Matt to visit the fortune teller’s tent, the lovebirds are shocked to find the body of Madame Zaza slumped over her crystal ball, pearl necklace askew and a half-drunk cup of tea at her elbow.

After predicting so many of the villagers’ misfortunes, how did she not foresee her own murder? From a pompous old colonel to a reticent reverend and a dodgy village doctor, Kitty soon feels like half the village had a motive for murder. But with more suspects than tarot cards, she and Matt are no closer to finding the culprit.

Madame Zaza had been a part of community’s life for decades, and discovering a photograph album of the villagers through the years gives Kitty and Matt the breakthrough they’ve been searching for. Kitty is soon hot on the killer’s trail when her sleuthing puts her in terrible danger. Will her lucky stars align, or is her lifeline about to run out?

An utterly sensational and addictive Golden Age murder mystery. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey, and Lee Strauss.

Only to be court up in another murder as they attend a Village Fair while they stay with Matt's Aunt.
This is a lovely follow on story from the last, with a glimpse into Kitty and Matt relationship as their marriage progresses, while they find clues together. Read again by the lovely voice of Karen Cass who keeps the story alive.

This has been an excellent series of stories so far . This particular mystery is ok but there is little character development either of the main charactets and certainly not of any of the othets. How i miss the many wonderful inhsbitants of Dartmouth who brought warmth and above all humour. This outing felt stilted, a chat on the terrace, a chat on a walk and little else. Even the sparkle in the relationship between Matt and Kitty seemed to have been lost. On a plus the narration was excelkent.

Disappointing
