About this listen

Marian Stamford moves to her dream home: a snug little cottage in a Dorset village where nothing ever happens. She only wants a quiet life, a home for her unlikely family of two nieces and one troublesome kitten.

Before long, things take a darker turn. A man breaks out of prison, leaving the villagers rattled.

What are they afraid of?

Marian isn’t one for idle gossip. But she can’t ignore the telltale signs that someone has been sneaking into her garden at night.

And then there’s the gruff stranger she’s seen hanging round next door. Who is he? And what does he want with the farmer’s wife?

It’s up to Marian find out.

But in a village full of secrets, the truth can be hard to find.

If you are looking for book that has suspence, thrills, quick pace and twists and turns this book is not for you. I think this book can be categorizes as "cozy crime" bacause it's slow and comfortable pace. Most of the book builds up to the finale that happends suddenly and comes like out of the nowhere and that makes the book feel a little bit unattached. But those who don't need their books to have deeper meanings and things will enjoy this, weird palate cleanser of a book.

Weird but not the worst.

I love the fact that a writer tells stories of romance between older less than perfect people. so often the hero and heroine are extraordinarily gorgeous with astonishing bodies. real life and people aren't like that.

love is not just for the young and beautiful

I loved all of it. The story and the narrator’s voice were a perfect match which was a treat because often I start to listen to a book and have to abandon it because of the narrator.

A story slowly unfolding but not boring or silly.
