About this listen

For Mrs Pargeter, it is a matter of principle that she should complete any of her late husband's unfinished business. Amongst his many bequests, perhaps the most valuable is his little black book, in which he listed all the people who ever worked for him, with details of their particular skill sets. This means that whenever Mrs P has a crime to solve, she can readily contact someone with the relevant expertise.

Attending the funeral of the respected Sir Normington Winthrop, because his name is in the book, Mrs Pargeter sets out to discover the connection between Sir Normington and her late husband. Her investigations will draw her into a shady world of gunrunners, shifty politicians - and a kidnapped vicar.

Simon Brett's books generally are excellent but I have always found that Mrs Pargeter stories are the most enjoyable. This is another really good one. Unfortunately, for me, I now appear to be in the disagreeable situation of having listened to all available on Audiable's extensive library, so have to wait until another (if there are more) to be made available or Simon Brett's writes another.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience. I recommend it to you.

Another excellent listen

I rediscovered the brilliant Simon Brett and his “Mrs Pargetta “ series, it would be wonderful to have more of them on audible, especially when narrated by the author!
