Melissa Craig is absolutely delighted with her new life in an old crumbling cottage, spending her days pruning the primroses and getting to know Binkie, the ginger cat next door. She only wishes she had made the move to the countryside sooner. But when a knock at the door brings news of a shocking discovery, she suddenly finds herself thrown in to the middle of a baffling mystery: the bones of a young woman have been found in the woods just behind her new home. Perhaps the little village of Upper Bembury is not as idyllic as it first seemed? Strange phone calls in the night convince Melissa that the police are barking up completely the wrong tree, so she can’t resist doing a little digging of her own. From the bingo hall to the beauty salon and beyond, her search ruffles a few feathers and uncovers many of the village’s most scandalous secrets, but gets her no closer to finding the culprit.

Love Perry Mason books
Alexander Cendese does a marvelous job narrating the Perry Mason Series and I hope the balance of the series will soon be re-released with him as the narrator. No one else can replace him after listening to him on the 50 or so audio books that were available. The Lucky Legs book is another must read/listen book in the series. I wish I'd discovered the book series a year or so ago, I would then have purchased all 84 or more books in the series!!! I listen to the 50 some books I do have from book 1 on through-- in order (of the ones I have), and then by the time I get through the 50 books I can start over, there is always something you miss and can pick up on the 2nd/3rd time around. haha. I love the TV series, but the books narrated by Alexander Cendese are so very much better!!!

A window into 1937
The book is a window into 1937 with speakeasies, cars with sideboards and cranks and engines that had to be kept warm if you might need to go somewhere in a hurry, and mail planes you could book a seat on. It’s also one of the few Perry Mason novels with no courtroom action. It was fun though and drew me along. The narrator distinguished all the characters well - he did some great voices - except for the women. I’m afraid his rendition of Della Street took some getting used to.
