Eleanor Trewynn is a widow of some years living in Port Mabyn, a small fishing village in Cornwall, England. In her younger days, she traveled the exotic parts of the world with her husband. These days she's retired and founded the local charity shop. Her niece, Megan Pencarrow, transferred nearby and was recently promoted to the rank of Detective Sergeant. Perhaps the only downside is that she is now working for a DI who doesn't approve of women on the police force and who really doesn't much approve of Megan's aunt Eleanor, as she is something of a thorn in his rather substantial side.

All of these factors collide when, the day after collecting donations, Eleanor and the vicar's wife find the dead body of a long-haired, scruffy-looking youth hidden in the stockroom of the charity shop. Then they discover that some donated jewelry thought to be fake is actually very real, very expensive, and the haul from a violent robbery in London. Making matters more complex, the corpse found in the storeroom is apparently not one of the robbers.

Carola Dunn's Manna from Hades is a confounding Cornish case of daring theft, double-cross, and a wily older woman confronted by a case of murder most foul.

A charming story that kept me company during the very hot weather. The narrators South African accent is awful and I noted a couple of mispronounced place names but overall I enjoyed it

I’ve really enjoyed the characters and the cosy setting in the Cornish countryside. It’s well written and an easy listen. I really recommend giving this series of four books a try!

I enjoyed this story set in Cornwall using a charity shop as a focal point with a theft and a death to be explained. I found the characters convincing and relatable.
The narration is good and easy to listen to. The whole thing is perhaps a bit dated but for me that was a bonus, a bit of an escape from today’s busy life back to the slower pace of life I remember from decades past.

Gentle escapism

Really enjoyed this, the only niggle was the pronunciation of tomato, why must the use the American and not the English way of pronouncing this simple word, spoils it a bit. Other than that oversight, a very good story.

Thoroughly enjoyable
