About this listen

The next thrilling Ham-Hill Murder Mystery from best-selling cosy crime author Frances Evesham.

A winning horse. A fierce rivalry. A sudden death.

Belinda Sandford thrills to the cheers of the crowd as her beautiful grey racehorse, ‘Butterfly Charm’, thunders past the finishing post first at Wincanton Racecourse. She feels like the luckiest girl in the world.

But joy soon turns to despair as a stewards’ enquiry overturns the result and awards the race to her long-time rival, Alexandra Deacon.

When Alex is found dead in suspicious circumstances, a host of accusing eyes turn to Belinda and her distraught mother begs Adam Hennessy, her neighbour, retired police officer and publican, to help clear her daughter’s name.

As Adam,and local hotelier Imogen Bishop dig deep into the murky and powerful undercurrents of the horse racing world, they lay bare the lives and loves of local jockeys, grooms, trainers and owners.

They soon uncover a web of secrets hidden within the spectacular Somerset countryside as they strive to find the killer in time to prevent more murders.

A brand new cosy mystery series from the best-selling author of A Village Murder, perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Betty Rowlands and M.C. Beaton.

A good who done it. Suspense, a little bit of drama and romance a good all rounder.

This is the second book set in Somerset and is a brilliant listen. More used to gritty crime novels, I really enjoyed the fact that yes, there are murders (!) but it isn’t graphic, no one swears, no sex & with characters who have come even more to life since the first book. The narrator is also perfect and I hope the author writes more in this series with Charlotte Strevens again doing a fabulous performance!

Very enjoyable second in series.

This is an easy going Cozy Mystery, but despite its gentleness, there’s really no story, no deductive sleuthing and, quite frankly, no point to the whole concept of this series!

It seems strange to say this, but it’s an enjoyable book that doesn’t really live up to its labelling! (Even less so than book one).

Lovely story. Good characterisation, description and story pace. Had to chuckle in places with light humour even though it’s a murder mystery. Good plot with a really nice twist at the end.. definitely recommend it.

Enjoyable
