About this listen

The first in a new crime series from M. B. Shaw, pen name of best-selling author Tilly Bagshawe - perfect for fans of Agatha Christie's Marple and Midsomer Murders.

Murder at the Mill introduces listeners to portrait painter and amateur sleuth Iris Grey, who sees the truths of others while struggling to find her own way. Grey arrives at The Mill in Hampshire, commissioned to paint a portrait of Dominic Wetherby, a celebrated author. She quickly finds herself drawn into a world of village gossip, romantic intrigue, buried secrets and murder.

Just when you think you know what's going to happen there's another twist. more please

great story and telling

Good book though nothing spectacular. The narrator was great...until doing character voices which could really grate.

This started well. Good setup of the story initially, but the description of women throughout was almost male, in terms of gaze. Every woman was either thin and desirable or fat and either revolting because of it, or liked despite it. I'm no feminist, but this really grated after a while. Then the dreadful snobbery came through with the girls" in next dresses gossiping". Punching down is never a good look. Spoiled the book completely for me. Focus on characters like Lorcan were exploited rather than explores and discarded before the end. So many ends left fraying at the end, and not in a good way. The performance was excellent though.

Awful shape bashing and weak female characters

I have both the kindle edition and the audible version, I think I got a special offer, and as I only generally listen whilst walking to and from work, it made sense to me at the time. However, in this case, the narrator was so brilliant, I ended up listening to the whole thing! She made the characters literally come alive, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story itself was engaging, the characters well rounded and believable, and the mystery very well plotted out - I was literally enthralled to the last minute. Looking forward to the next one, and I'm off to seek out more books narrated by Penelope Rawlins!
