About this listen

Claire Barclay finds a home in England after 25 years of travelling. She has money, a tour guide business, and ambitions. She is shocked by the murder in her quiet village, but is not going to give up on the haven she has finally found. With the help of her sister, the barracuda barrister, her new dog, new friends, and the unexpected stimulus of a new man in her life, she deals with suspicion, confusion, and threats.

This story was OK but not gripping. I found it distracting that English characters in Hampshire kept using American terms. Fall instead of autumn, tracks instead of footpaths, cell phones instead of mobiles.

OK story but Americanisms were distracting

Good solid story, not annoying. Nice details about Agatha Christie's life and dog training amd legal issues. Main character's approach to romance was not irritating, which is all I ask for these days.

Interesting, relatable main characters

I enjoyed the descriptions of the countryside. the Americanisms were a bit peculiar but you have to suspend disbelief don't you. listen out for the narrator's peculiar pronunciation of Harrogate,which is mentioned about 50 times in the book so it does get a bit grating. otherwise gentle and a good bedtime read.

an enjoyable light cosy mystery

I really enjoyed this story; however a little piece of me dies inside every time a character purporting to be English uses Americanisms -trash, sidewalk, yard, leash etc. I am sure the author is aware of what these are called in the UK and I'm sure that the average American could hazard a guess!!! Other than that I enjoyed the characters, the scenery and the plot and unlike many novels of this genre there weren't challenges to credulity!

Lovely Cosy Mystery

A lovely cozy, soothing read. Beautifully narrated. Shall definitely check out the rest of the books in the series.

Story is fine, nothing brilliant but fine to listen to when doing other things. Some Americanisms are a bit odd, trash, dog licence required in England - they're not. Perhaps I'm just too pedantic!

OK for free

Don't bother. Without giving spoilers, the denouement was really poor. The love interest was uninteresting. The narrator read in a manner that was too pompous. Plus way too many Americanisms. Nothing to recommend.

Uninspiring plot, unrealistic characters

Story was ok but the constant mention of and comparison with Seattle was quite irritating!

Enjoyable and ok
