Summary

Everyone knows the dead woman under the lighthouse, but no one seems to know why she died. What brought the folk-rock star back to Exham on Sea after so many years? Who wanted her dead? Does the key to her murder lie in the town, or far away across the Atlantic?

Libby Forest arrives in Exham to build a new life making cakes and chocolates, and discovers a talent for solving mysteries, helped by Bear, an enormous Carpathian sheepdog, and a cast of local characters. The green fields, rolling hills, and sandy beaches of England's West Country provide a perfect setting for crime, intrigue, and mystery.

Good story poor narration

this would have been much better without the narrators monotonous voice. no depth or alitteration throughout in fact she sounded bored and emphasis was all wrong. shame because good plot and interesting characters. hope she doesn't do anymore!!

Disappointing

It started well , characters seemed likeable . The mystery murder too seemed interesting . However it petered out toward the finish and the solution seemed rushed and rather flat .

Certainly shouldn’t be compared to the Great Agatha Christie.

Picked this author because audible was pushing this book recommending it to be in a great similar vain as an Agatha Christie mystery. Nothing like and very disappointing.

Newby

New to audible and wasn't sure what to expect.
However pleasantly surprised. Book was as expected and now will use it more. Great way to listen to books as can carry on cooking/gardening/dreaded housework, enjoying one of my favourite hobbies reading.
Great way to combine the good and the bad.
Thanks Audible for providing the perfect balance without me feeling guilty.

Dreadful narration

This might be an interesting story but I lost interest by chapter 2 due to the awful o otonous voi e of the narrator. Her drawling , nasal , disinterested voice grates on the ears. A reasonable le story spoilt. Book returned.

Seriously cheesy

Could the author have jammed in anymore cliches? Glasto Bristols music scene Illegitmate dead children?
Where did the narrator get those accents? Hammer House of Horrors? Mickey Spillane?

Can I get my credit back?
