About this listen

Spring, 1909, and Lady Hardcastle, amateur sleuth and all-round eccentric, is enjoying a well-deserved rest. But a week after a trip to the cattle market, Spencer Caradine, a local farmer, turns up dead in the pub, face-down in his beef and mushroom pie. Once again, it is up to Lady Hardcastle and her maid, Florence, to solve the case.

Armed with wit and whimsy, not to mention Florence’s mean right hook, the pair set out to discover what really happened and why. Was it poison or just ill luck?

As they delve further into their investigation, they encounter a theft where nothing is stolen, a séance with a troubled ghost and an ever-increasing number of Spencer’s family and friends who might just have motive for murder. One thing’s for sure: Lady Hardcastle has a mystery on her hands.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Spirit Is Willing, this edition of In the Market for Murder includes editorial revisions.

Having just read one of Kinseys books I was keen to try a follow on and I wasn’t disappointed. Now I’m more familiar with the style of writing I’m able to really relax into the story. An easy listen and would recommend

I found this much easier to listen to than the first in this series as quite a few of the characters were the same. still a fair few new names to remember which meant that I did have to concentrate while listening. On the whole, an entertaining plot that did draw me in. I look forward to the next in this series.

Better than the first
