Summary
There's a brutal murder in the small Welsh village of Gilfach. The police are clueless. With no motive and no real suspect, the investigation soon grinds to a halt. Enter Mary Anne Smith, otherwise known as Granny Smith, the 71-years-young, pipe-smoking, heavy metal-loving, chaos-causing amateur sleuth with a difference.
Granny has a talent for mayhem, and soon those talents are put to good use as our intrepid pensioner starts the unravel the case, which finds her provoking Chief Inspector Miskin as she comes up against a full scale police investigation, proving that you're never too old to make a nuisance of yourself and that 71 is actually the new 21.
Murder's never been so much fun.

A cross between Miss Marple and Old Mother Riley
71-year-old Granny Smith, known by Chief Inspector Miskin as ‘Miss Marple on Steroids’ begins to investigate when her friend and neighbour is murdered. It all began when her friend’s husband was arrested for the murder of his wife. Her investigation led Granny from Wales up to London in pursuit of the real murderer. Well written and quite funny in places. The narration was good but maybe it would have been slightly better if granny and friends all had Welsh accents as they were all Welsh and the story was set in Wales

Gary certainly has a talent, not bad for one raised in the secluded Gilfach Goch.

A Welsh woman won't be stopped!
I knew from the first few minutes that I was going to enjoy this audiobook and I was right. The dry (yet sassy) humour was spot on and the narration was perfectly matched to the tone of the story. Highly recommended!
