Özet

When Ellie Kent moves to an English village with her new husband Graham, she fears the villagers will always see her at that young American who snared their attractive vicar during his sabbatical in California. But this challenge is nothing compared to what happens when she stumbles across a body in the churchyard.

The villagers insist they don't know the murdered man, so suspicion mounts that the killer must be the incomer - the vicar's new wife. As evidence piles up against her, Ellie tries to stay one step ahead of the police to unravel a decades-old literary mystery and love story. Will others die before she can solve it? And what will be left of her new life and marriage, even if she succeeds?

The story is interesting and the performance is good. The problem is with the writing, it sounds like an English village but it's really written for those who have never ever been to one. The Americanism is really off putting the use of words like sidewalk, trash and windshield are annoying to any English listener. But descriptions of certain items are clearly American, the one main example is we do not have green and white police vehicle's?? Not sure if the author has ever been to England? but we don't all have double barrelled surnames, never heard so many in one village.

Obviously for an American audience

The narration is pretty good, considering Saskia Maarleveld has to move between accents quickly and seamlessly. The story is fairly entertaining if a bit lacking in plausibility. However, there’s this one thing that I find off-putting: How come the heroine, a woman supposedly smart enough to teach at university, behaves so stupidly? Well, I do prefer “real” people in novels, but I found the naive detective who yet discovers the perpetrator a bit hard to swallow. In consequence, I don’t think I’ll be listening to other Ellie Kent mysteries.

I really enjoyed this one. Just right for easy listening, well read and I will have a look out for further books by this author.

I think there have been some over critical reviews of this book and reader. The book is well paced and entertaining, not a masterpiece but not a waste of time either. OK there are some mispronounced words when English people are speaking but there are few enough not to annoy.

Worth a listen

Not too bad as story's go but why do some of the police always fit some evidence and hey presto they have their killer this is very similar only a foreigner and an American that will do. Very Miss Marpleish but the narrator was definitely not English as she kept popping in the American phrases that we British don't use quite grating really. The story was not too bad but seemed very amateurish.
