About this listen

When Meredith Mitchell picks up a hitchhiker on a lonely road outside Bamford one evening she is left feeling distinctly uneasy. What business can this confident, yet secretive, young woman have at Tudor Lodge, the beautiful old home of Brussels-based lawyer Andrew Penhallow, where she asks to be dropped?

Penhallow is constantly toing and froing from the Continent, but that night, unusually, he is at home, and—with his son away and his wife Carla in bed with a migraine—alone. Which is unfortunate, for the next morning he is found murdered in the garden.

To the vicarious delight of the locals, who are quick to recall old disputes, Penhallow's death results in some spectacular revelations about his double life—developments which make the murder investigation all the more delicate for Superintendent Markby, who knew the dead man as a young body. Andrew Penhallow certainly had ghosts in his past—has one come back to claim him?

Waited some considerable time to get this . One of the few missing from the series .
Didn’t disappoint……murder that had no completely obvious suspect . Lots of diverse
characters that took you into the village scene and set the stage for the story .
Satisfying listen .

Always Enjoyable

I fully admit I bought this feeling negative and yet a part of me hoped……! Ann Granger was a wonderful storyteller and I just love her use of language and her clever, interesting crime novels, but my heart sank by the choice of narrator. Julia Barrie’s narration is not good in other Ann Granger books she has narrated. Early in the story, a character is described as a “highly educated” young woman. Unfortunately Julia Barrie’s’ interpretation has this woman sounding like a silly, naive child. As for the main and very likeable characters, Mitchell and Markby, even they sound like the village idiots. I’m not going to go on but if anyone is reading this for your first Ann Granger story, do yourself a favour and listen to the stories narrated by Judith Boyd. She is exceptional at narrating. I’m just sad she doesn’t seem to be around anymore. And I should have listened to my own advice and passed on this. Wasted credit.

So missing Judith Boyd narrating
