Summary
Murder in the Manor is the debut novel in a charming new cozy mystery series by Fiona Grace.
Lacey Doyle, 39 years old and freshly divorced, needs a drastic change. She needs to quit her job, leave her horrendous boss and New York City, and walk away from the fast life. Making good on her childhood promise to herself, she decides to walk away from it all and relive a beloved childhood vacation in the quaint English seaside town of Wilfordshire.
Wilfordshire is exactly as Lacey remembers it, with its ageless architecture, cobblestone streets, and with nature at its doorstep. Lacey doesn’t want to go back home, and spontaneously, she decides to stay and to give her childhood dream a try: She will open her own antique shop.
Lacey finally feels that her life is taking a step in the right direction...until her new star customer turns up dead. As the newcomer in town, all eyes are on Lacey, and it’s up to her to clear her own name. With a business to run, a next-door neighbor-turned-nemesis, a flirty baker across the street, and a crime to solve, is this new life all that Lacey thought it would be?

Not very well researched
I am finding this story very annoying as an English listener. Any place in Britain with Shire after the name is a County, NOT a small seaside town! It must have been written by someone who is not British to make that mistake and this, plus the readers very slow voice is boring me so much I keep falling asleep.
I doubt if I will finish the book, I use audio books as I cannot read printed ones any more. I think the story may be sort of ok ish but cannot listen to the rest as I am now getting very annoyed with the mistakes which should have been corrected prior to publication! Please edit correctly and don't publish any more like this. Also, try a reader who does not bore us to sleep with her soooo slow reading voice. Liven it up a bit.
Having read some other reviews I see I am not the only one with similar views! It's such a shame to spoil a fairly good mystery with the wrong narrator. Looking at the later books I find they have different readers so I will give them a try before I condemn the author. ;-) Publishers, please remind your authors about correctness with English words like the incorrect (Wilfordshire)! Poetic licence does not stretch to place names In England, it just grates on my ears and probably others too judging by some of the comments. A bit more research about the county would have been useful in this instance!

A recommended read for rotten tomatoes reviewer.
The book is one of the worst I have read in quite some time. It has some entertainment value for just that reason and the readers style only raises the level of hilarity!
