About this listen

Spring, 1909, and Lady Hardcastle, amateur sleuth and all-round eccentric, is enjoying a well-deserved rest. But a week after a trip to the cattle market, Spencer Caradine, a local farmer, turns up dead in the pub, face-down in his beef and mushroom pie. Once again, it is up to Lady Hardcastle and her maid, Florence, to solve the case.

Armed with wit and whimsy, not to mention Florence’s mean right hook, the pair set out to discover what really happened and why. Was it poison or just ill luck?

As they delve further into their investigation, they encounter a theft where nothing is stolen, a séance with a troubled ghost and an ever-increasing number of Spencer’s family and friends who might just have motive for murder. One thing’s for sure: Lady Hardcastle has a mystery on her hands.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Spirit Is Willing, this edition of In the Market for Murder includes editorial revisions.

I really liked the first one. This one was still good but not as good as the first. It felt a bit convoluted. It's not put me off reading the next one though.

Pretty Good

This is such a jolly listen. Enough storyline to enjoy but mostly just a lovely easy listen narrated by such a reassuring voice.

Wonderful narrator

A welcome change from the now fashionable foul language detective stories available today , and , nobody felt it necessary to throw up at the least provocation . Narration a bit twee though for my liking .

Foul language excluded .

The narrator did a very good job and her accents, in the most part, were sufficiently accurate.
The story was rather long-winded so concentration was difficult to maintain..
However, the dialogue between Lady Hardcastle and her lady’s maid Flo Armstrong was well written and often most witty and enjoyable.
I may well return to these books when I need something light to listen to.

Long yet good fun

Even better than the first in the series. The characters are developed beautifully. The writing style is exquisite and the multiple plots are great. The humour throughout had me laughing out loud. I am so happy I stumbled on this series!

Brilliant!
