Claire Barclay finds a home in England after 25 years of travelling. She has money, a tour guide business, and ambitions. She is shocked by the murder in her quiet village, but is not going to give up on the haven she has finally found. With the help of her sister, the barracuda barrister, her new dog, new friends, and the unexpected stimulus of a new man in her life, she deals with suspicion, confusion, and threats.

enjoyed story and narration, one too many American words instead of English words which were irritating but otherwise a good listen

very enjoyable and good plot

I really enjoyed this book. As the first in a series much of it is setting the scenario and establishing characters, yet it never drags. The characters are believable and the setting recognisable. What made it outstanding for me was the narrator. I look forward to more.

Good solid story, not annoying. Nice details about Agatha Christie's life and dog training amd legal issues. Main character's approach to romance was not irritating, which is all I ask for these days.

Interesting, relatable main characters

Story is fine, nothing brilliant but fine to listen to when doing other things. Some Americanisms are a bit odd, trash, dog licence required in England - they're not. Perhaps I'm just too pedantic!

OK for free

I enjoyed the descriptions of the countryside. the Americanisms were a bit peculiar but you have to suspend disbelief don't you. listen out for the narrator's peculiar pronunciation of Harrogate,which is mentioned about 50 times in the book so it does get a bit grating. otherwise gentle and a good bedtime read.

an enjoyable light cosy mystery
