found the book through looking up my favourite narrator jonathan keeble,
it was a great story (I've already pre-ordered book 2) had some laughs it didn't drag at all and was of course narrated brilliant by JK. definitely recommend if you want a light hearted read with a bit of who done it? will be following this author from now on.

I absolutely loved this book! I could not stop listening, as the story pulls you in and makes you want to keep listening.
All of the characters are brilliantly written and observed. You really want things to work out for them, especially Harry, the unlikely hero of the book.
I found this book because I am a huge fan of Jonathan Keeble's always superb narration, which paired beautifully with the excellent writing within this novel. I am very much looking forward to any and all future books in what promises to be an excellent series ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A fantastic start to a new cosy mystery series ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this book and audiobook. story was a bit slow to begin with but then gripped the reader/listener to the end. I really look forward to the next book in the series. You come to love the characters and twists in the plot plus Jonathan Keeble is a great narrator.

A brilliant new series
