About this listen

A Pawnshop Robbery: It's no rest for the wicked as Kate Shackleton picks up her second professional sleuthing case. But exposing the culprit of a pawnshop robbery turns sinister when her investigation takes her to Harrogate - and murder is only one step behind....

A Fatal Stabbing: A night at the theatre should be just what the doctor ordered - until Kate stumbles across a body in the doorway. The knife sticking out of its chest definitely suggests a killer in the theatre's midst.

A Ransom Demand: Kate likes nothing better than a mystery - and nothing better than solving one. So when a ransom note demands £1,000 for the safe return of the play's leading lady, the refined streets of Harrogate play host to Kate's skills in piecing together clues - and luring criminals out of their lairs....

I thorouly enjoyed this book. It started with a straightforward task, with Kate and Sykes looking for stolen jewelry, and slowly developed into a fascinating murder mystery with multiple strands and complexities. I couldn't put the book down and spent a whole day listening right to the unexpectedend. I liked the addition of what might be a new relationship for Kate in future books and the narration was excellent. I hope that this reader will be the narrator in future books.

An intruiging story

Loved the first Kate Shackleton book and the narrator's voice worked so well with the character. Shame they changed for the rest of the books. Took me a while to settle into this story and get used to Kate having a different accent, struggled at the start and wasn't sure I'd continue listening. However, I did and glad! Anne Dover settles into the storyline and once you become immersed into it you really don't need to compare her to the narrator from book 1. I've already purchased book 3 as the stories are very good, a great length with lots of detail. Definitely recommend, especially to any having doubts due to the change of narrator.

Narrator better once settled into the story

Frances Brody writes very enjoyable books the plot is just different enough to keep one reading on. Kate Shackleton is made interesting but with many layers....FBs interpretation of the roles of both women and men in the post war era and late 1920s is realistic and it blends well with her stories. The added bonus is her knowledge of Yorkshire and the town's and cities within at that period in time..

another well told story.
