About this listen

When mystery novelist Hazel Martin receives a secretive letter from an old friend who suspects her relatives have murderous intentions, she packs her bags and heads to the country.

Tampered medications, symptoms of poisoning, and suspicious accidents all add up to attempted murder, and it's up to Hazel and her Siamese cat, Dickens, to sniff out the clues. But with a house full of relatives who all have motives, will Hazel be able to unmask the culprit before things turn deadly?

USA Today best-selling author Leighann Dobbs brings back the spirit of the golden age of mysteries in this classic whodunit set in the 1920s.

Overall the book is pleasant and easy, suitable to keep you company if you spend many hours driving like I do.

The plot is typical of other period cozy crimes, but rather predictable.

The narrator is good, but the cat… honestly the cat was so irritating for me (and I’m a cat lover!), it ruined the listening.

Nice only because it was free, won’t spend a credit on the next one

To Americanised to be a story set in 20s England. Apart from that the story and narration are good.

Not bad but

This is the first Leanne Dodds book I have listened to and I did enjoy it. It was a good plot although I have to say my enjoyment was somewhat marred by some silly errors. I appreciate the author is American but if you are going to set a book in 1920's England you really must get the language right. For example the author keeps using American English words and expressions that would not have been common place in the England of the time e.g vacation instead of holiday and cookie instead of biscuit. also the phrase "run interference" is an Americanism and wouldn't be used by an English lady in the 20s.

Initially Ms Dodds has a constable take charge of the investigation. No way would a murder ever be entrusted to lowly constable not even for half a minute.

I don't want to give any spoilers but it was also disappointing that she had the heroine discuss a clue with the detective before actually discovering the clue in the next chapter!!

Good story- silly mistakes
