Story4.5 out of 5 stars 115
As the sun rises, a wealthy young woman, Samantha Seabrook, is found drowned in the ornamental fountain of a deserted Cambridge courtyard, the only clue: an antique silver chain wound tightly around her throat. It’s Tara Thorpe’s job to discover what happened to Miss Seabrook. But the case becomes personal when she learns that Samantha had been receiving death threats, rather like the one that landed on Tara’s doorstep the night the woman died. Together with Detective Inspector Garstin Blake, Tara tracks the killer to the dank and dangerous fens on the outskirts of the city.

A cleverly written mystery/comedy
Very entertaining story! Don't even mind that the murder isn't discovered until late in the story. Interplay between Iris and Kat is great and new characters enhance the story. Nice little dash of the eerie and the descriptions of Alfred as a seer are a little creepy and fun. At times it has the feel of a screwball comedy with Iris and her romance novel post it notes and characters eavesdropping and coming and going.The whole Jersey cash thing is a hoot. I want to hear more about Sean though :) Moving right on to the next one. Highly recommend this romp!

the story seemed very interesting,BUT
I couldn't get past the second chapter, The narrator's voice was so shrill when doing the characters, and she exclaimed !! every!!! single!! thing!!! I'm hoping to find a book by the same author with a different narrator.

Deadly Desires at Honeychurch Hall
This book was not for me. ..It was TOO everything. Too busy, too crazy, too many crazies, too much to enjoy. I'll just say too Keystone Cops. If that doesn't explain it to you, go ahead and read it. Some people love the Keystone Cops concept. I'm not one of them.

Struggled to finish
Although I am glad I finished this book. It was wordy. I wasn't sure what the author was going with the first part of the story. I just kept listening hoping that the good part would come some.
