About this listen

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?

There was no depth to this story it was obvious who the murderer was
I’m only sorry I wasted a credit
The narrator was excellent though but unfortunately didn’t make up for the content

Not surprisingly Saskia’s American accent is great - as she lives in NYC, however - I was surprised to find Oxfordshire is now overrun with Antipodeans …. I’m not sure how normal it is for the local accent to be from NZ! I lived in the Oxford area for over 20 years and never noticed!

Accent is confusing

I try and find the books included in membership, saw this and almost didn’t listen, as I wasn’t sure about the American accent at the start (sorry!) BUT… I kept going and the range of voices and accents that the reader went through was magnificent. A complete contrast to what I thought it would be, and now I want to listen to more from this author. Definitely worth the listen, a great book.

Surprisingly good!
