About this listen
From the authors of the best-selling series CHERRINGHAM
Sussex, England, 1929. Mydworth is a sleepy English market town just 50 miles from London. But things are about to liven up there, when young and handsome Sir Harry Mortimer returns home from his diplomatic posting in Cairo, with his beautiful and unconventional American wife, Kat.
No sooner have the two arrived, when a jewel robbery occurs at Harry's aunt's home - Mydworth Manor. The police are baffled and overwhelmed with the case. But Harry and Kat have an edge in the hunt for the dangerous culprit: not only do they have certain useful "skills" they've both picked up in service of King, President and Country, they also have access to parts of English society that your average bobby can't reach ...
Nathaniel Parker, born in 1962, graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Nathaniel Parker is a great choice for the reader of the Mydworth Mysteries and switches smoothly between accents.
Due to my impatience short stories suit me well, and having grown up on Agatha Christie, cosy mysteries tend to give me the warm fuzzies, a feeling greatly needed at the moment. If you like simple, well written, well read cosy mysteries with likeable main characters I highly recommend.
Tommy & Tuppence vibe

Just the kind of book I enjoy, a period mystery set in a country house
Nathaniel Parker does a first class job as the narrator and his accents are brilliant
First rate mystery

Comfortable

Super Start to a New Series

No annoying characters, lovely setting (over the top Englishness for the American audience), and a full compliment of English Country House odd bods.
Love Nathaniel Parker as Narrator
