Summary

Brimley Manor, home to an eccentric museum of oddities from its owner's lifetime of exotic travels also holds dark secrets. When a suspicious fire breaks out, the biggest question must be... was it just an accident? Sarah and Jack think not. As they begin to explore the history and people of Brimley Manor, they soon learn that this very curious place might also be quite deadly...

Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.

Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid 90's, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the successful crime fiction series Cherringham.

The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of 'DCI John Barnaby' in 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Jim Riley' in 'The Life of Riley'. He is also known for his film roles in 'The Nativity', 'Sorted' and 'Son of Rambow'. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as 'Norman Birkett' on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

As always, brilliant!

Love Cherringham, love Jack, love Sarah! This was perhaps not my most favourite of the stories as it was possible to confuse stories set in other manor Houses in the Cherringham area but still a great listen. Loving the gentle hints of feelings between Jack and Sarah (well Sarah anyway) - will watch this space!
As always Neil Dudgeons narration was fab, don't ever change him! Looking forward to the next one.........

Easy listening, very enjoyable

I love this series. It’s not going to tax your brain cells in any way but it’s exactly as cosy crime should be. It’s warm and comforting and full of recurring characters that make the village feel solid.
It’s perfect for ‘cooking with wine’!

Great listen

Love the character of Peregrine Brimley.
Eccentric old coot with a voice to match.
Not very complicated to figure out what's going on in the plot. But I still enjoyed it.

I really hope a tv network picks this series up. It would be a great episode to watch especially with all the different rooms.
