About this listen

Three sons. Three farms. One murder.

Jack Saxby is trying to keep the farm he thought he’d been given by his mother. His vindictive father wants to take it away, and Jack’s two brothers also have their own agenda.

Then there’s a suspicious death, and the family’s dark secrets come to light. Can Eric Ward, representing Jack, find out who’s really guilty?

Eric is facing a risky eye operation and he’s still resisting a serious relationship with young heiress Anne Morcombe.

Can he solve the case and save his reputation?

This fast-paced mystery will have you enthralled from the start. Set in England in the early 1980s, this is the second book to feature Eric Ward. More coming soon.

"The Farming Murder" is another excellent, multifaceted, and thrilling story in the Eric Ward series. Who knew legal disputes could be so engrossing? Also, Lewis's mastery of characterisation is incredible - he creates fascinating yet realistic characters that leap off the page. In this book, the character of Amos Saxby is a riveting study of human character and behaviour.
I'm only two books in but already loving this series. Can't wait to see what's next for Eric Ward.

A dull story read with little expression and it ended up as background noise, so much so I couldn’t tell you how it ended!

Dreadful accents

Too much legal jargon and lack of story. Northumbrian accent poor from narrator. Glad I hadn’t wasted a credit on this.

Gave up trying to get interested

Aside from the dreadful accents ( if you can't imitate one don't try!) t
it was supposed to be set in Northumberland not Walesm ,this storyline relied on far too much legal references, to be honest, I tried to persevere but brain couldn't cope with trying to decipher any of the accents never mind get involved with the 'plot' disappointing, Perhaps if it had been narrated in a natural voice,one could engage more, only relieved I didn't use a credit

accents!
