Publisher's Summary

Meet Eve Mallow: an American far from home, a professional busybody...and an amateur detective?

Seasoned obituary writer Eve Mallow has a new assignment: to tell the life story of famed musician Bernard Fitzpatrick. A chance to spend a few days in the sweet little village of Saxford St. Peter, walking the country lanes with her beloved dachshund, Gus, and meeting new people sounds like a dream. But it turns out that Bernard’s life was much less interesting than his death. On the day she arrives, news breaks that the charismatic cellist was the victim of a grisly murder. Could this quaint English village be hiding a dark secret?

As Eve starts to interview Bernard’s friends and colleagues, she finds that he’d ruffled a few feathers. In fact, from the keepers of the Cross Keys Inn to his own staff at High House, there’s barely a person in town who doesn’t have some reason to hate him.... Is one of the friendly villagers a cold-blooded killer?

Eve hoped Saxford St. Peter would be the perfect escape from her busy city life. But there is darkness even in the most sunlit of settings. And when a second body is found, Eve becomes certain that one of the people she’s met must be the murderer. She has never done any detective work before...but is there something in her notes that can crack the case?

A great way to lose yourself

I was looking for a book that was a mystery but also light and an easy listen.
I wasn’t disappointed. It was a great listen.
So happy there is more books to follow on with by the author.

Promissing Start

This was a interesting start to a series of stories. A Who Done It with good list of interesting people unfortunately Book Two is of the very same format and it was like rereading Book One. What A Shame

Very enjoyable

Light hearted murder mystery with engaging enjoyable characters. Similar lines to Midsommer Murders but much better. Looking forward to reading/listening to more from this author.

reasonable

I like the idea of this lady and her dog but it's somewhat implausible to find such close relationships in a few days, and also why is everyone so willing to talk to her when shes not the law... and the end was implausible also

I found this boring

I got to chapter 23 and gave up. This is more a soap opera then an intriguing murder mystery. The concept is somewhat unlikely

Bored bored bored!

Did not finish this. Bored me to tears as too descriptive and meandering. Did not take to any of the characters like I did with Cherrinham
