About this listen

From the authors of the best-selling series Cherringham.

This compilation contains episodes 1-3:

A shot in the dark

Sussex, England, 1929. Mydworth is a sleepy English market town just 50 miles from London. But things are about to liven up there considerably, when young Sir Harry Mortimer returns home from his government posting in Cairo, with his unconventional American wife - Kat Reilly.

A little Night murder

A young poacher is found shot dead in the woods of a grand estate near Mydworth. A sad accident it would seem. But the boy's mother is convinced it is murder and when Harry and Kat investigate, they find the poacher's life was not as innocent as he made out...

London calling!

When a prominent family's daughter flees sleepy Sussex to seek a career on the stages of a glittering West End, Harry and Kat are asked to check in on the young woman. But the two of them soon discover that there is a much bigger danger to the woman and her family than mere acting dreams being crushed...

Nathaniel Parker, born in 1962, graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company. His television career began in 1988 when he played Flying Officer 'Flash' Gordon in the LWT mini-series Piece of Cake. He is also the lead in the BBC series The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, based on the novels by Elizabeth George. Nathaniel Parker has an extensive list of audio books to his credit, ranging from the classics of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy to more modern writings and children's books.

liked the writing and the characters were very likable,
always liked period stories, and it's refreshing that the mysterious are not all murder.

Short stories, a little far fetch but believable while you listen and they don’t require you to keep notes of who’s who like some plots, Narration is good in so much as he doesn’t irritate. A very easy listen,

A stress free listen

Book 3

Like some other reviewers I came to these after listening to the other series.

I found that the initial few chapters were very tedious both in delivery and content, far too much time setting up the back stories for the protagonists and precious little narrative.

However, I found both the stories and delivery did improve a lot and, while somewhat implausible they make pleasant escapist listening but definitely not demanding.

Slow start but gets better

I liked the fact that the stories were fairly short but interesting from the start. I would however have liked the second story to carry on longer and to find the game keeper had murdered no- one either now or in the past. I didn't like this ending.
I also hate the volume of the music. It nearly blasts your ears off unless you are able to reduce the volume before it blasts at one. It surely should not be louder than the talking and better still quieter.
I have bought the next trilogy and hope that's as good as 1 to 3 with quieter music.

The interesting stories started almost immediaty.

Love the narrator’s voice …..just perfect for these tales .
I soon found myself caught up in these light , but fast moving stories .
Now and then, it’s good to listen to something that will be “ all’s well that ends well “.
Will be listening to more in these series .

Very Enjoyable
