About this listen
Mrs Abbott is flustered at the thought of putting up a lady from the Red Cross, but is happily surprised when she turns out to be an old friend from her previous life as Miss Buncle, infamous writer.
Of course, she’s now far too busy with her children to write, not to mention helping out in the lives of the villagers. And with a possible spy in their midst, evacuated families, potential love matches and a visit from a famous writer, she’s got her work cut out for her. Luckily for her, the other Mrs Abbott is around to help.

But what really lets it down is the narration, and total lack of consistency. If a narrator is booked to read a sequel, when they have narrated both previous books in the series, you would assume they would listen to their own earlier work to refresh their memory for the character’s voices. Not here. For instance, in Miss Buncles book Dr Walker had a broad Scots accent. Here, in his brief appearance, he is totally English Home Counties. But Markie has suddenly done the reverse! OK she now has a back story from Fife, but why change her voice so much? Gerry, who had a pleasant voice in Miss Buncle Married, now is shrill and grating. But to be fair there is one consistency: all small boys are given the same rather unpleasant problem with adenoids…
Not the best D.E. Stevenson, and the narration didn’t help: but there are plenty other of hers on Audible to enjoy.
Not the best of Miss Buncle, poorly narrated
