Summary

A Lindenshaw Mysteries Novel

Tea and sympathy have never been so deadly.

Schoolteacher Adam Matthews just wants to help select a new headteacher and go home. The governors at Lindenshaw St Crispin’s have already failed miserably at finding the right candidate, so it’s make or break this second time round. But when one of the applicants is found strangled in the school, what should have been a straightforward decision turns tempestuous as a flash flood in their small English village.

Inspector Robin Bright isn’t thrilled to be back at St. Crispin’s. Memories of his days there are foul enough without tossing in a complicated murder case. And that handsome young teacher has him reminding himself not to fraternize with a witness. But it’s not long before Robin is relying on Adam for more than just his testimony.

As secrets amongst the governors emerge and a second person turns up dead, Robin needs to focus less on Adam and more on his investigation. But there are too many suspects, too many lies, and too many loose ends. Before they know it, Robin and Adam are fighting for their lives and their hearts.

Good stuff

Excellent story, well read and paced. Plot unusual and interesting. Even the dog had a part to play!

Another winner from Charlie Cochane

I was so pleased to see this book become available as an audio book. I loved it when I read it but it is just so much better when read aloud! I am not going to rehash the story - you can read the blurb for that. I absolutely loved it. A mystery, a slow burn of attraction - always a winner in my world. It keeps you guessing as to "whodunnit" too.
It's the first book I have listened to by David Maxwell and I thought he did a fabulous job. I am always a sucker for an English accept and I am really hoping that the rest of this series will appear on audible too. I highly recommend this one
