Summary

When a strange child follows her home on the train from London, Ella Bridges feels bound to help her. However, she soon discovers the child is not what she seems. Having recently moved into a large home on Linhay Island, affectionately known locally as The Yellow Cottage, Ella finds herself at the centre of a murder investigation thanks to a special gift from the previous house owner. Along with her unusual sidekick, a former cottage resident, Ella follows clues that take her to the heart of London. As the mystery unravels she is forced to enter the lion's den to solve the crime and stop the perpetrator. But can she do it before she becomes the next victim? 

An Accidental Murder is a novella set in 1930s England and is the first in the series of The Yellow Cottage mysteries. NB: this audiobook is based on an updated edition (Sept 2018).

Delightful little ditty

Didn't think I'd enjoy this when it first started, as the narrator was very twee. However, It's a charming little story that kept me engaged. I would consider another in this series.

Lovely enjoyable compact ghost whisper story...onwards

First time with this author. Light enjoyable mystery story.. to the end. Look forward to developing side-kick... Definetly onwards and upwards to book 2.

Recommend

Re reviews on narrator
I find the narrator ideal/appropriate as we are told the story is set in the 1930's ...pitch/range reflects the stereotypical 'Jeeves Wooster' (1920-30) upper middle class tones we associate with the social order of this time and the subsequant characters we meet in this story. With regards to main character voice sounding older ..within this book we have incite into personal story.

It was so good I didn’t want it to come to an end. I hope there’s more books like it.

An Accidental Muder

This is a brilliant first book in the series and lays down how the ghost help solve their own muder. Funny and well put together. Read brilliantly by Jilly Bond.

Hmmm weak at best

‘Perky’ narrator sort of ruined it! Story average, characters could have been believable but just missed the mark
