About this listen

 When Meredith Mitchell agreed to stay with her actress cousin, Eve, in the run up to Eve's daughter's wedding, she anticipated a degree of drama. But she can hardly have expected it to include murder, blackmail, and unrequited love. Or to involve a certain Chief Inspector Markby, a middle-aged divorcee.

As material witness to the only case of murder the Cotswold village of Westerfield has ever seen, Meredith soon becomes involved in the case and with helping Chief Inspector Markby. Meredith is a career diplomat and soon needs her considerable skills when steering a path between her duty to the police and loyalty to her cousin's family.

I really enjoyed the story and was rooting for the characters. A great start to a series of stories.

Excellent mystery novel

Easy to listen to. Enjoyable but not a page turner. No concentration required, good to listen to while doing other things.

don't like the snobbery. pity the village was made out to be so awful. similar characters are to be found everywhere. Mitchell quite irritating at times. however saved by Alan markby. he eventually brought out the best in her. liked his sister. didn't see the twist at the end coming .

extreme characters

Really enjoyed this story and the characters. Narration was great. I will certainly be listening to more Mitchell and Markby mysteries. If I have any any minor criticism, I felt the last chapter was too long winded and slow.

Really good story
