About this listen

The twisting twenty-fifth instalment of Lesley Cookman's much-loved Libby Sarjeant series

Libby Sarjeant is deep into rehearsals for the annual pantomime when a body is found in a doorway two weeks before Christmas - and Libby and her friend Fran are called into action once again, when their investigation leads them to a local brewery and the sale of many of its pubs.

With the help of a team of local publicans, can Libby and Fran unravel the case before it's too late?

Happy to be able to visit Steeple Martin, Nethergate etc again although I wouldn't want to live there, it's too dangerous!!

An all round excellent Christmas treat. I absolutely raced through this book, which took me round the houses (in a good way) to a conclusion that I didn’t see coming. It was great to spend time in Steeple Martin and its surrounding environs, visiting old friends and meeting some new characters who I’m sure will be a great addition to Libby’s growing band of Loonies.

As for the narration, Patience Tomlinson gives an outstanding performance as usual. She has a wonderful talent and brings the characters and the story to life, She is a pleasure to listen to.


Excellent story and wonderful narration

I agree with Libby (and Lesley Cookman) that murder is not cosy but i do enjoy the puzzle of solving it! Libby and friends are always believable and it is their friendship which makes the stories so interesting. This mystery is no exception! The story is set in present time but somehow carries an echo of the past.

Another very non ‘cosy’ mystery
