Summary
AN UNFINISHED MURDER is the sixth Cotswold village crime novel in Ann Granger's Campbell and Carter series. Sure to appeal to fans of Midsomer Murders and M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin mysteries.
Mitchell and Markby come out of retirement to crack a cold case...
As young children, Josh Browning and his sister, Dilys, stumbled across a dead body while playing on the outskirts of their Cotswold village. Terrified by what they'd seen, neither of them told a soul. Now, twenty years later, Josh finds the dead woman's charm bracelet among his sister's possessions.
Who better to tell than his trusted friend, the man he gardens for, retired Superintendent Alan Markby? As Markby listens to Josh's confession, alarm bells start to ring. The dates and details tie in with a missing person case that was never solved.
Joining forces with Superintendent Ian Carter, who also investigated the original case, and Inspector Jess Campbell, from the region where the missing girl was last seen, Markby delves into the unsolved mystery. Together, they are determined to catch a clever killer who almost got away with murder...

Another good Mitchell & Markby book.
Ann Granger is always good value but I was disappointed by the narrator this time. Jilly Bond is fine for more light hearted books but not this type of murder mystery. I found myself irritated by the silly voices.

Horrible narration, mediocre story
I couldn't listen to this so I had to buy the book.
The narrator, Bond, has a terrible way of speaking: very prissy and as if she is reading to a five year old. This is a murder mystery, not a story from Enid Blyton. Secondly it physically was inaudible because her dynamic range was so great. One second she spoke in a whisper then was talking very loud. I listen in the car and out walking. I simply could not change the volume easily. I had to rewind to before what I missed, adjust the volume to hear it, then do it all again when she changed volume.
Her rendition of male voices and people's accents is frankly unacceptable. She classes everyone in two ways: overmodulated Home Counties RP or ooh-arrr. Campbell and Carter accents just come across as wrong.
Bond is supposed to be a professional but in the context of reading murder stories to adults who listen in non-optimal conditions, she fails this epithet entirely.
With respect to the story, I feel mixing in Mitchell and Markby was a mistake. They came across as the main sleuthing protagonists, yet this book is described as a Campbell and Carter mystery. Granger definitely got this wrong. Also some of the disappointment in the book is due to Granger's lack of experience with the wider class world of the UK. The middle classes come across as too "posh" and the rest as yokels.

I didn't enjoy the narration
The narrator's voices for the different characters are not good and grate. Story is enjoyable. Shame really. A good author and otherwise enjoyable books.

spoilt by this narrator
I really like Ann Granger's book and have listened to all the Mitchell and Markby and the Campbell and Carter series. This one, however, wall al but ruined by the narrator. Her grating voice makes the characters sound condescending and utterly unbelievable. please bring back Judith Boyd and ditch this awful voice

Why oh why change the narrator?
I bought this book , without listening to it first as I have had and enjoyed all the previous books. The story was excellent as usual, but the narrator has the annoying habit of putting a silly sort of smile to her voice, I noticed she does this in other books too, it makes people sound stupid and is very annoying. Normally I wouldn’t buy books if she is narrating as it annoys me so much, I didn’t send this one back because of the story, but please please can we have Judith Boyd back for the next book.

Annoying narration
Struggled with this narrator. I found I was listening to her, rather than to the story itself.

Thoroughly Enjoyable
Great to drop in to see the Markbys ... Have read all their books. A great idea to link the two couples of detectives. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
