About this listen

A quaint English fete. A village full of secrets. A shocking murder.

In 1920s England, private detective Henry Fleming is visiting his friend, retired author Lily Riley, in the quintessentially English village of Fulbridge.

Tragedy strikes when a resident is murdered, stabbed through the heart, in the historic local church.

When an inexperienced Scotland Yard detective arrives to investigate the case, Lily is accused of the terrible crime. With no sign of a murder weapon, and no obvious motive, Fleming realises it will fall to him to prove his friend's innocence and solve the baffling case.

For fans of Poirot, Miss Marple, Columbo, Jessica Fletcher and all their wonderful whodunnit / howdunnit mysteries.

Not 1920s

The blurb says this book is set in the 1920s, but there's no evidence of that. It could be any time in the 20th century, pre internet. In addition the characters use phrases like "above my pay grade" and "out of my league". The vicar's wife wears trousers. Everyone is very liberal-minded, progressive and relaxed in a way they wouldn't have been just after WW1 and the horrific Spanish flu epidemic. The detective's summing up at the end is like a group therapy session.
But the story jogs along adequately enough. Worth a try if you can get it for free.
