About this listen

Thea Osborne sets off to Frampton Mansell with confidence. Despite her first disastrous house-sitting venture, which drew her into a murder investigation, Thea, and her spaniel Hepzibah, are sure of a wonderful stay at the relaxed country estate of the Philipses. But it seems that she’s jinxed. Busying herself with her duties, she finds a body hanging from the rafters of one of the barns. Detective Superintendent Phil Hollis oversees the subsequent investigation and is more than a little surprised to find Thea once again at the scene. As the days go by, they find themselves working together more closely – although Thea, at times, is more of a hindrance than a help.

Didn’t get the music instead of chapters, thought there was something wrong with the audio book

Music???

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Would you try another book written by Rebecca Tope or narrated by Caroline Lennon?

Yes I enjoy her pleasant laid back style. I also enjoyed the narrator. What I did not enjoy was the intrusive, unnecessary music inserted by some book hating idiot.

WHO WAS THE IDIOT?

Not sure about the music between chapters?
But the sorry is light hearted - abit long as times but the story is interesting and you want to keep listening to find out what happens.

Easy listening.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Story was ok, if a little slow & page filling at times. But why oh why they felt the need to put that annoying music at the end of every chapter is beyond me 😔
