Summary
’Till death do us part may come sooner than they thought....
The year 1934. Kitty Underhay steps out of the battered Rolls Royce and onto the graveled driveway of Thurscomb Castle in deepest Yorkshire. She’s honored to be a bridesmaid at her cousin Lucy’s wedding to the reluctant Lord Rupert Woodcomb, but as family and friends gather for welcome drinks, Kitty dodges intrusive questions about her own marital status by taking a stroll about the castle grounds. As she passes through the manicured gardens, a fatal shot rings out....
The valet, Evans, is dead. And Kitty can’t help but notice how rattled the man standing next to him seems. Could Rupert’s best man, The Right Honorable Alexander "Sandy" Galsworthy, believe the speeding bullet was meant for him?
When she discovers that Sandy has been receiving blackmail notes, Kitty suspects that one of the assembled guests has plans to make good on their threats. The local constabulary won’t act on Kitty’s hunch, so, busy with her bridesmaid’s duties, she asks her beau, ex-army captain Matthew Bryant, to help.
The ceremony passes without a hitch. But when an anxious Sandy slips away during the dancing, Matt follows, only to make a hideous discovery: Sandy is dead, flattened on the terrace by some falling masonry.
Now the duo are sure that there is a murderer within the castle walls. But can they untangle Sandy’s final hours and catch this killer before they strike again, or will the wedding bells be replaced by a death knell for Kitty herself?
A completely charming cozy historical Golden Age murder mystery! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey, and Lee Strauss.
The Miss Underhay Mystery series was previously narrated by Alex Tregear, who is now beginning a new adventure as she trains to be an occupational therapist.

Narration spoils the book
I agree with the other reviews which say that, whilst they are not bad, the new narrator has changed the the personalities of the main characters by making them more formal and plummy.
I have looked forward to the release of each new book in the series but I am finding it hard to finish this one and unlikely to buy the next one in audio format.

Dissapointed
What a shame to listen to the last of a lovely, charming series that I had thoroughly enjoyed - until the narrator changed for this last book. I apologise to Ms Edsell for my harsh comments. Her voice is false, her attempt at Joan Hickson playing Miss Marple is both poor and annoying., and I'm really surprised that she 'got the job'. The previous 6 books were very, very easy to listen to. and the characters grew to be familiar
due to the consistency in the narrator. This book feels like its full of strangers. Ms Edsells voice sounds forced and it was very annoying and distracting. I couldn't listen long enough to get the plot and finally gave up after just 1hr and 6 minutes. I was and still am, trying to find a way to enjoy the book, think I'll have to buy the hard copy.
Publishers please note. Please do not change narrators mid series.

Story fine but new narrator = oh dear!
It took a little getting used to this series. The "pounding heart", "fluttering" and "tingling sensations" of the early books got a bit much. I think after book 3 it calmed down. This book though was a shock. If a new narrator comes in, I would have hoped they tried to keep existing listeners engaged by following as much as possible the previous voices and intonation.
The naration has three issues for me (most serious first)
1 Kitty has gone from a hard worker, middle class business women with a cheerful happy countenance to a upper class voice with less humour. It might not sound much but it has changed her personality totally.
2 Some voices are very close to each other and with Kitty's new upper class tones, I found myself thinking it was a male character like her uncle speaking and then being told it was Kitty speaking! Following conversations in a few places was difficult with the lack of differentiation.
3 Some some reason in several places the characters started speaking one.....word.....after....the.....other...with....large....gaps...between....each....word. So annoying. I could not see why it had been done and I resorted to telling Alexa to "get a move on".
I will be cautious with the next story. If Alex Tregear does not return or Polly Edsell start using previous voices then sadly I will have to leave this series.

Bring back Alex Tregear!
I love these mysteries but like many others I struggled with the change in narrator. The different voices are quite out of kilter with the characters- Kitty is far too posh and I found it hard to keep track of who was speaking.

Can't listen to this new narrator
This series has been my favourite but the new narrator makes Kitty sound like a spoilt posh brat. Can't even finish it. I won't be buying any more.

I love this series
Unfortunately struggled to complete this book as th narrator was not the usual one. I couldn't understand why Kitty suddenly sounded so much grander than her cousin considering the difference in their social status. I probably will not purchase the new book if the narrator is not Alex Tragear.

Another great mystery don’t know how she does it!
I loved the plot and the ongoing stories between pre existing characters. Loved the change of location for the wedding which allowed for a fresh take on things too.
Sorry but personally have to agree that this narrator was not quite right for this role. Much preferred the previous narrator. The voices of a lot of the characters were much too prim and proper and there were moments that I lost concentration because the voice was more monotone.
Still can’t wait to hear the final Kitty Underhay book though as brilliantly written by Helena Dixon.

Shame they changed the narrator
I really enjoy this series of novels so I am very disappointed to find they have a new narrator. she has made Kitty so unbearably posh that she now sounds like the Queen in 1956. Kitty and Matt have become TOTALLY inaccessible and this was so distracting I didn't enjoy the book anywhere near as much as before.

Great story shame about the narrating
Love this story the same as I did the ones before. Unfortunately the narrating wasn't good in fact I switch off as the woman just didn't hold my attention. It took a while to get use of the voices she used & how it changed the characters personality. Made Kitty sound like a snob & Matt wasn't right either voice too deep. I hope the next book will be read by the original narrator she was great.
