About this listen

To celebrate their engagement, DCI Arthur St. Just and Portia De’Ath visit the quiet village of Maidsfell in Cornwall. Upon arriving, they find the villagers in an uproar over plans to redevelop the local seafront.

The fishermen want to build a new slipway to aid their business, but many residents worry it will spoil the view for the tourists who help drive the economy. After a heated village meeting on the issue, St. Just overhears an argument involving Lord Bodwally, an unpopular aristocrat staunchly opposed to the plans. Later, Bodwally’s lifeless body is discovered. It’s murder.

Although Bodwally was disliked, who’d go so far as to kill him? St. Just, although an outsider from Cambridge, feels compelled to help local authorities investigate. Is Bodwally’s death linked to the seafront, his suspect business dealings, or a secret from the past? One thing is certain: The fallout threatens to change Maidsfell forever.

I enjoyed the story mostly, but I couldn't understand why, when referring to Covid 19 (which was mentioned once),did every character call it the 'plague times'. One or two may use that term, but not everyone? I personally don't know anyone who does, and as it is mentioned over and over, it did seem odd. I like the fact that it was worked into the story and not forgotten about, but the world knew it as Covid 19 just call it what it is!

Plague Times?!

The story is intriguing and keeps one’s interest. It has to be good because the narration is dire.
More than once I found myself infuriated, wanting to tell Ms Bennett think about what she was saying. Miss pronounced and so painfully slow.
I have listened to G M Mail let’s work before but won’t buy any more unless a different reader is

Pity about the narration
