About this listen

Take one quiet Yorkshire Village, add a measure of mystery, a sprinkling of scandal and Kate Shackleton - amateur sleuth extraordinaire!

Bridgestead is a quiet village: a babbling brook, rolling hills and a working mill at its heart. Pretty and remote, nothing exceptional happens...except for the day when Joshua Braithwaite goes missing in dramatic circumstances, never to be heard of again.

Now Joshua's daughter is getting married and wants one last attempt at finding her father. Has he run off with his mistress, or was he murdered for his mounting coffers? Kate Shackleton has always loved solving puzzles. So who better to get to the bottom of Joshua's mysterious disappearance? But as Kate taps in to the lives of the Bridgestead dwellers, she opens cracks that some would kill to keep closed....

I really enjoyed the story and the characters. The plot had enough twists to keep in interesting but without being hard to follow. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

Cosy end enjoyable.

Well read and the characters were made real by excellent narration, I enjoyed the intricate storyline and realism of the people and how they were portrayed to a very real scenario of life.

Wanders a bit but very enjoyable

I found this to be very entertaining. Plausible characters and dialogue, lots of gently-included period detail, an interesting location, Kate's character developing as the story progressed, and we're allowed to figure things out as Kate does. Excellent narration. Highly recommend if you want a cosy period detective story.

A delightful story, well-narrated
