About this listen

You might think murder would be rare in a quiet English village...

When the local goddess of cake is found impaled with her own pallet knife, the victim's husband is found holding the murder weapon. It's an open and shut case...until he calls Patricia Fisher that is.

With a surprising new assistant in tow, your favorite middle-aged sleuth has all the help she will need, but this case is a tough one for everyone she suspects instantly becomes the next victim.

With the village fete a week away, cooks are revving up to win the coveted best cake prize, especially now that the favorite is in the morgue.

Can the killer really be one of the lovely old ladies?

With president of the church council, old rival Angelica Howard-Box, stirring up trouble, Patricia has more than enough on her plate, and she'll have to solve this fast because her own cook, Mrs. Pam Ellis might be next!

Loved the story but would have preferred to read the book rather than listen to it

Fast paced and engaging plot that had me hooked from the beginning. Plot twists and misdirection abound in this fabulous instalment of the Patricia Fisher Village Mysteries.
Whilst Maryanne M. Wells did a fantastic job with the other character’s voices in dialogue, Patricia’s dialogue and internal monologue sometimes came across as patronising because the speech had odd inflections and was really slow (I was comfortably able to listen to the book at 1.25x narration speed).
I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, and I'm leaving a voluntary review.

As the clock is ticking, Patricia must find the person who murdered a woman before her husband is sent away for the crime that she is certain he did not commit. At the same time, though, she is being relentlessly hounded by a woman hell bent on destroying her for stealing away her boyfriend when she was just 8 years old and a mysterious woman who also wants her dead! Such is the life of a very busy PI. Loved all the mystery and intrigue as well as the hidden dangers of The Godmother always lurking in the background.

It's almost always the one you least suspect!
