About this listen

Brenda longs for a quiet life; a life where she’s free to run her B&B and enjoy cups of tea and the occasional night at the bingo with her friend Effie. Unfortunately for Brenda trouble tends to seek her out.

The whole palaver begins with poison pen letters that start flying around the quiet lanes of Whitby. Then there’s Jessie the Zombie Womanzee, an amorous and strangely un-aged professor of Icelandic history, and terrifying encounters with bamboo wickerwork gods from the dawn of time. Lord only knows where it will all end…

Very enjoyable, darkly laugh outloud at times, amusing. Loving this series and hope they'll be many more. Having lived in Whitby, find myself figuring out places mentioned and smiling at the descriptions. Would recommend.

I enjoyed this book. Joanna Trope did a good performance with clear characters and dialogue. Very believable.

The story moves along nicely. There are some really funny situations that aris and out of established fifties tropes and thrillers. One hilarious scene which arises from the logical conclusion of Branda's origin

Quite Amusing

Another Hammer style epic for Brenda and Effie, with a star spotlight on the shady and slinky Sheila Manchu, voiced with brilliance by Joanna Tope. Pure enjoyment.

Bride of Frankenstein vs zombie bamboo.
