About this listen
A cosy, twisty mystery that reintroduces the glorious characters we met in the bestselling The Postscript Murders - shortlisted for the Gold Dagger.
Natalka from Ukraine has quit her job as a carer and joined up with retiree, Edwin, to run a detective agency on England's south coast. Despite a steady stream of minor cases, Natalka is frustrated, longing for a big juicy investigation such as murder to come the agency's way. She is now living with dreamer, Benedict, who continues to run his coffee shack. Life gets complicated when her Ukrainian mother, Viktoria, joins them from her war-torn country - three's a crowd. Viktoria invades the tiny flat, cooking borscht and cleaning things that are already clean. To add to Natalka's irritation, Benedict and Viktoria get on brilliantly.
Edwin is a big reader of obituaries, so when a local obit writer, Dan Haynes, dies, Edwin decides to look further, only to discover a series of unexpected deaths. Are the clues in the obits themselves? Edwin decides to write an obit to see what clues it throws up. Then he disappears.
The chase to find him takes the team to London and back to the south coast, where the solution lies remarkably close to home.

Love this author, love this narrator!
The Harbinder books are among my favourite, I absolutely love Elly Griffiths and I love this narrator and will keep coming back to the audio when more books are released.

Beautiful words
Another resounding success for Elly Griffiths. All of the gang together again with a baffling mystery to solve. Nina’s narration, as always, is mellifluous and involved me in the story. More, please!

Silly plot. Awful distracting accents in narration
I would like a warning on any book where the narrator is doing accents. This was the worst part of the narration of the book. A soft “t” for the Sikh characters and an inappropriate rolled r for the Ukrainian ones. I have enjoyed previous books by this author but not this one. The plot is beyond silly. The characters are quite stereotypical. I do not recommend

what's happened to Elly Griffiths
I was a big fan but her books are getting more and more boring with every new release. I resent spending my time & money on her books any more.
