About this listen

A well-read old dear has an unhealthy interest in murder in this sharp, witty and refreshingly original cozy crime novel.
Retired librarian and bookshop owner May Morrigan lives in the affluent village of Blackheath with Fletcher, her best friend since they met decades ago, and May’s two dogs. What could be more normal? But May is not your average little old lady . . .
After an unpleasant church volunteer and an annoying local butcher meet their untimely ends, Fletcher and May team up to do some sleuthing. Soon, the elderly pair start working with a young journalist to investigate the case of a missing girl and its possible link to previous unsolved crimes. May finds this new project quite intriguing. She’s never met a murderer before—and now she just may get the chance, if they play their cards right . . .

Quirky, well written and brilliantly narrated

This book is a blast. A sleepy little village, missing persons, elderly detectives, transvestitism and murder...and that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's brilliantly narrated by Jonathan Keeble too, so what's not to love. Highly recommended!

Unusual heroes for a quirky tale

Loved this story set in my neighbourhood. It was familiar yet different, funny and just that right bit of off beat to chime with me. Great narration, I always love Jonathan Keeble.

Great read

I enjoyed listening to Jonathan, I always do, and the story was very good also. I loved the characters and the way they developed, can't wait for the next book.

Regretted I bought this

I think Jonathan Keeble is a great narrator and thought this would be like the Sebastian Clifford Series by Sally Rigby that he narrated.

But no - very disappointing and silly. I only listened to it for 30 minutes , and that was too much.
