Thea Osborne sets off to Frampton Mansell with confidence. Despite her first disastrous house-sitting venture, which drew her into a murder investigation, Thea, and her spaniel Hepzibah, are sure of a wonderful stay at the relaxed country estate of the Philipses. But it seems that she’s jinxed. Busying herself with her duties, she finds a body hanging from the rafters of one of the barns. Detective Superintendent Phil Hollis oversees the subsequent investigation and is more than a little surprised to find Thea once again at the scene. As the days go by, they find themselves working together more closely – although Thea, at times, is more of a hindrance than a help.

Story was ok, if a little slow & page filling at times. But why oh why they felt the need to put that annoying music at the end of every chapter is beyond me 😔

Annoying music

Would you try another book written by Rebecca Tope or narrated by Caroline Lennon?

Yes I enjoy her pleasant laid back style. I also enjoyed the narrator. What I did not enjoy was the intrusive, unnecessary music inserted by some book hating idiot.

WHO WAS THE IDIOT?
