About this listen

Enthralling mystery, lots of laughter, and a little bit of romance—that's village life in wartime England.

An anxious mother begs Lady Elizabeth to find her missing daughter, and she finds it impossible to refuse. Her tenants are her children, and she'll do anything to keep them safe and happy. When she discovers the daughter's bicycle abandoned on the cliffs, and then the young woman's body washed up on the beach, Lady Elizabeth is faced with far more problems than she anticipated.

Lovers of Agatha Christie's books will find much to enjoy in this tale of intrigue and laughter in an English village, and Emily Brightwell fans will fall in love with the offbeat characters of Sitting Marsh.

Unfortunately, I couldn't continue to listen to this book. Disappointing.
Worst narration I have heard. Clipped sentences and a tone I would expect in a sleep story not a mystery.
Great shame as the story seemed ok.

I usually enjoy the Jate Kingsbury Books but this narrator made listening a challenge and destruction what could have been an enjoyable listen!

horrendous due to the readers speech impediment. she couldn't pronounce words properly and sometimes sentences didn't make sense due to this. Awful.

The narrator spoke as if she was about to burst into tears. She spoke so slowly & the O's & As we're pronounced as aaaws even when using other accents. It wasn't so bad when in character but her narrative & Lady Elizabeth was so slow & crawling I couldn't listen. Spoiled what promised to be a decent book. I won't be listening to any more in the series. So sorry. I'll read them myself.
