About this listen

Claire Barclay finds a home in England after 25 years of travelling. She has money, a tour guide business, and ambitions. She is shocked by the murder in her quiet village, but is not going to give up on the haven she has finally found. With the help of her sister, the barracuda barrister, her new dog, new friends, and the unexpected stimulus of a new man in her life, she deals with suspicion, confusion, and threats.

Absolutely loved this author.

Can’t wait to read more books by this author. Thoroughly enjoyed the narrator. Great story line, love story, murder mystery all combined. Characters in this book were all different, adding to the story.
Have to admit, English authors are one of my favourite.

The two stars are for the narrator

I had to stop and read the reviews because I kept thinking is it me that’s finding this book super boring and uber slow?

I am at chapter 12 with 4 hours and 25 minutes remaining and I cannot persuade myself to listen any further. Even though the narrator Bianca Amato is fantastic at narrating, she can’t save a boring book.

At first I thought, fantastic, the murder happens right away. We’re going to get right to the sleuthing, especially when it’s outlined that Clare loves murder mysteries, she’s a tour guide and her next tour is with a bunch of murder mystery enthusiasts visiting sites around Britain that are either settings or homes of famous mystery writers. This couldn’t get any better. Her little group of tourers and her are going to jump right in, be nosey and this book will be everything a cosy mystery should be. None of that happens or if it does, it happens well after chapter 12.

I was right on board with this book, but wondering how it was going to fill 9 hours. That should have been a red flag that there was going to be a LOT of boring filler that had much to do about nothing. Why do we have to slog through all the details about history, America versus Britain, her drains clogging up, family drama and everything they eat at each pub they visit? We don’t.

From the moment things started happening, my first instinct was the sons of her stepfather, or the snooty woman who was now acting chair of the society, Barbara, especially since as soon as it’s mentioned that Clare’s group will be visiting the library, the library is set on fire. coincidence, I think not. Those are my guesses but the story is dragging so much, I don’t really care to listen further to find out if I am right.
