About this listen

Cosette Whitlow is a society matron if tiny Bradley, North Carolina, has one. She kindly volunteers for all the town's charities, but isn't nearly as kind to her own family, neighbors, and friends. In fact, Cosette is emphatically disliked by much of the town - including octogenarian Myrtle Clover. And Myrtle knows that dislike in Bradley can quickly turn deadly.

No one seems surprised when Cosette's body is discovered during a party she's hosting - she was struck on the head with a croquet mallet. Wanting to restore order to the small town, Myrtle resolves to track down the killer - before the killer strikes again.

This is another excellent instalment to the Myrtle Clover series. This is such a fun series that I have recommended it to my mum as we like very similar books and I just know she will get a kick out of this series. Like the picture shows it is a light hearted series with plenty of humour to keep you laughing. The mystery is good byt it is the characters that really make it for me. I love the way with each book Elaine takes up a new hobby that either helps Myrtle or drives her mad and as for the long running gnome fight, I start chuckling just at the thought of it. This is definitely a series that will brighten your day.
Miles talks Myrtle into dropping by at a party that neither of them want to go to but can't think of a way of getting out of, Miles because she shameless flirts with him and Myrtle just doesn't like her. Nobody likes Cosette but even they are surprised when she is killed in the backyard while hosting one of her famous parties. With plenty of suspects including her own daughter and husband to question Myrtle and Miles are soon on the case but this time Myrtle has been up staged by a new keen reporter and won't be writing the story for the Bradley Bulge. With Red, her son convinced she is better off moving to Green pastures (a retirement home) and the boss at the paper giving her job to someone a lot younger Myrtle sets out to prove them all wrong. There is still life in this octogenarian yet, unless a killer gets to her first.
I really like this narrator and think she does a wonder job of bringing Myrtle and her friends to life.
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have volunteer left this review.
