About this listen

Libby Forest is hot on the trail of the killer when disaster strikes closer to home.

The sudden death of an elderly volunteer at Dunster Castle rocks the Castle’s ancient calm to its core leaving members of the local History Society devastated. When the finger is pointed at a fellow volunteer, his wife Margery fears her husband of forty years may be the killer.

Libby Forest, in partnership with Max Ramshore and their two much-loved dogs, Bear and Shipley are determined to find the castle killer – no matter who it may be.

Quirky characters, dogs, cake and gossip abound in this Exham-on-Sea Murder Mystery, set in a charming English seaside town of Exham-on-Sea - a book for listeners who love Agatha Christie-style murder mysteries, cosy crime, dogs, cake and chocolate.

Strangely enjoyable!

The story is dreadful, implausible and suitable for under 10s. The imminent wedding of the main character seems to be in every book I’ve heard. The idea that the police would use private consultants with IQs around 50 and nil experience is ridiculous. The choice and administration of poison is impossible. In spite of all that, I enjoyed listening. I live in Somerset and like dogs so that helps. I’d have been livid if I’d used a credit on it!

Undemanding Cozy Crime

Easy read with a certain charm. The narration slips down easily too. There are few suspenseful moments, and nearly everyone likes each other. Even the murders are done with regret.
