Summary
In the lean years following World War I, brash American adventuress Beryl Halliwell and prim and proper Brit Edwina Davenport form a private inquiry agency to make ends meet, hoping that crime does indeed pay...
The latest occurrence to disturb the peace in the quaint English village of Walmsley Parva hits rather too close to home - in fact, the prime suspect has taken up residence in Edwina's potting shed. Her elderly gardener Simpkins has been secretly sleeping there after a row with his disreputable brother-in-law and housemate, Hector Lomax.
When Hector is found murdered in the local churchyard, Constable Gibbs comes looking for Simpkins, who was last seen arguing with his kin in the pub the night before. Based on the sad state of her garden, Edwina has grave doubts that the shiftless Simpkins could muster the effort to murder anyone. The two sleuths throw themselves into weeding out suspects and rooting out the real killer.
But this is no garden variety murder. The discovery of a valuable ring, a surprise connection to Colonel Kimberly's Condiment Company, and a second homicide all force Beryl and Edwina to play catch-up as they relish the chance to contain the culprit . . .

Very enjoyable
Another in the very enjoyable 'Murder...' series, with a story sufficiently elaborate to engage and likeable characters who entertain.
Please bear in mind that it is a very English story both written and narrated by Americans. Generally it's very good, with some character voices a bit tongue in cheek, but occasionally you'll get American words thrown in, and some awful mis-pronunciations of English words. Ignore and enjoy.

Another Great Mystery
Back again with my new favourite pair of village sleuths. As before, the dynamic duo embark on another murder mystery in the village of Walmsley Parver. Many of the favourite characters from the previous two novels are back in this third offering.
These books are quite similar to the quirky Father Brown instalments and have made the office time fly by while listening to their capers. Very entertaining with some humorous twists.

The complimentary characters and the sympathetic narration. A joy to listen to.
Crimes without gruesome details. Truly cosy and easy to relate to. A gentle listen . Great characters. I particularly like Simpkins
