About this listen
Bookshop owner Flora Steele escapes the sleepy English village of Abbeymead through the adventures in the stories she sells. Until one morning, everything changes when she discovers a body amongst her own bookshelves....
The young man with the shock of white-blond hair lay spread-eagled on the floor, surrounded by fallen books. His hand reached out to the scattered pages, as though he was trying to tell her something.
But who is he? How did he come to be killed in Flora’s ordinary little bookshop? Flora finds out he was staying at the Priory Hotel, and when the gardener suddenly dies in its beautiful grounds only a few days later, she is certain that something untoward is happening in her quiet village by the sea.
But are the two deaths connected? And is someone at the hotel responsible - the nervous cook, the money-obsessed receptionist, or the formidable manageress?
Determined to save her beloved bookshop’s reputation and solve the murder mystery, Flora enlists the help of handsome and brooding Jack Carrington: crime writer, recluse and her most reliable customer.
As the unlikely duo set about investigating the baffling case, guilty faces greet them at every door. And they soon realise there’s more than one person hiding secrets in Abbeymead....
The start of a brand-new murder mystery series featuring bookshop owner Flora Steele and crime writer Jack Carrington. Fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin and Joy Ellis will love this perfect cozy murder mystery novel. An utterly addictive story that will have you guessing until the very end.

Entertaining
This was a new to me writer & I am so glad I chose to read this. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline, the characters & the narration was spot on. Looking forward to reading more of Merryn’s stories.

very average
Mildly entertaining but overwritten and predictable. Unable to suspend disbelief. Set a few years after WW2 but behaviour and language of characters is inconsistent. There are better options for your Audible credit

Enjoyable
A great cosy British story. Loved the plot and enjoyed the storyline. Accents could be embellished a little more. Otherwise enjoyable read and a real page-turner

Hardly the gripping tale the title suggests
Nieve and predictable. Narrator, whilst competent, is better suited to younger listeners. The voice lacks the gravitas needed for a murder mystery. Disappointing.
