About this listen

An utterly addictive cozy mystery novel

French cheese, fine wine, and...a mystifying murder?

A delightful afternoon stroll turns to disaster when the guests of an artists’ retreat in the French mountains spot the body of a man at the bottom of a cliff. Amongst them is Melissa Craig, who, binoculars at the ready, suddenly finds herself at the center of a very puzzling mystery. Was it an accident, or was he pushed?

Her suspicions are confirmed when another body is found days later in almost the exact same spot. It can’t be a coincidence; someone in this idyllic French village is up to no good, and it’s up to her to find out who.

Between the eccentric locals and mischievous guests, Melissa finds herself with no shortage of potential suspects: Was it the surly handyman with a dark past or perhaps, the short-sighted widow with an excellent golf swing? But the real question is: How close to the edge will Melissa have to tread to find the culprit?

An absolutely gripping murder mystery you’ll feel compelled to listen to in one sitting. Perfect for anyone who loves Agatha Christie, P.D. James, or Faith Martin.

This book was previously published as Over the Edge.

Very cliche

When this book was first written I am sure it would have come across as not so cliche but alas it has not aged well. This book has none of the charm of the first so I have hoping after disappointing second and third books that lacklusting streak has worn off.

Not my favourite

Took a while to get started after initial murder with barely a link. The French references and names were a bit hard to follow. Not too many twists and turns, so easy to keep track of and listen to.
