A pawn-shop robbery- It's no rest for the wicked as Kate Shackleton picks up her second professional sleuthing case. But exposing the culprit of a pawn-shop robbery turns sinister when her investigation takes her to Harrogate - and murder is only one step behind . . .

A fatal stabbing- A night at the theatre should have been just what the doctor ordered, until Kate stumbles across a body in the doorway. The knife sticking out of its chest definitely suggests a killer in the theatre's midst.

A ransom demand- Kate likes nothing better than a mystery - and nothing better than solving them. So when a ransom note demands £1,000 for the safe return of the play's leading lady, the refined streets of Harrogate play host to Kate's skills in piecing together clues - and luring criminals out of their lairs . . .

Loved the first Kate Shackleton book and the narrator's voice worked so well with the character. Shame they changed for the rest of the books. Took me a while to settle into this story and get used to Kate having a different accent, struggled at the start and wasn't sure I'd continue listening. However, I did and glad! Anne Dover settles into the storyline and once you become immersed into it you really don't need to compare her to the narrator from book 1. I've already purchased book 3 as the stories are very good, a great length with lots of detail. Definitely recommend, especially to any having doubts due to the change of narrator.

Narrator better once settled into the story

But I’m glad I did! Amazing how jarring it is at first and how quickly you get into it! Another great story!

I enjoyed this book and listened to the whole thing in a couple of days. There were a lot of characters but it was not difficult to follow the story. The murderer was not obvious and there were a lot of false leads. I will probably listen to it again at some point. The narration was excellent and the book was very easy to listen to.

A Good story
