Publisher's Summary
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.

Totally impressed.
I tend to stick to a few authors and reread their books time and again, and I e en have a couple of short stories that I keep near when I want something light and quick, but having found T E Kinsey, I have to say that yes, I am impressed. Not exactly a worldwide super novel, but these mystery stories are told well, the characters have life and I am enjoying some new reads.

murder mystery brings merriment and mischief
enjoy a good ol murder mystery but with added hilarity and rambunctious characters you'll feel like Lady Hardcastle and Flo are part of the family

Timeless period detection
Another good read for a period piece of detective work. The characters are delightful and one is taken back to a green and pleasant land if only in memory and wistful desire. Good storyline.

Such a brilliant way to consume the story.
This audiobook is such a vibe, whimsical and fun. I'm sure there's better comp titles but it gives me the same small town English vibes as Doc Marten but make it murder, mystery and historical.

Good mystery
Quite a good period mystery, but I felt the narrator’s voice was too affected for the character she was portraying as narrator.

Slow plot.
I like the main characters and their rapport, but the plot was a bit far fetched and involved and her closing summary was way too long.
