Summary
Don’t miss Faith Martin’s fiendishly clever new novel, Murder by Candlelight, set in the 1920s and described as ‘the perfect village mystery’ by J.M. Hall
‘The pairing of Ryder and Loveday is a stroke of genius.’ Clare Chase, author of the Eve Mallow and Tara Thorpe mysteries
She was dressed in a long white gown, embroidered with tiny flowers. Her body was wrapped in colourful ribbons that floated in the breeze. But underneath the swathe of golden hair, a string of darkly smudged bruises ringed her neck.
As May Day dawns in the peaceful village of Middle Fenton, a young woman is found brutally strangled, her body tied up with ribbons in the middle of the green. A week later, her boyfriend is found hanged in a local barn, and the police assume guilt over murdering his beloved has driven him to suicide – but not everyone is convinced.
WPC Trudy Loveday and coroner Clement Ryder are sent to investigate, and quickly realise that there’s a double murderer on the loose.
But the killer has already shown willingness to remove anyone who threatens to discover their identity… As Trudy and Clement circle in on the culprit, can they crack the case before they too come to a nasty end?
Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Agatha Christie and Val McDermid, this is one murder mystery you won’t be able to put down!

Story good!
I enjoyed the story but not the narration! Too many pauses when not necessary. Not my sort of narrator but then we all have our own views of what it should sound like!

Excellent performance by narrator
I really enjoyed it. Faith Martin is always good at murder mystery as always and she didn't disappoint.
It was the narrator, Stephanie Racine that did it for me. She is a brilliant voice actor, ranging in her skills from a country farmer to a drunk Welsh man, and to a group of gossiping village women, not to mention the main characters an Oxford Doctor and a young WPC. She really brought the story to life, thus making an already very good book, even better. 10/10, Stephanie.

Good as ever!
Yet another enjoyable story featuring an interesting pair of crime solvers.
I am trying to eke out these books so I don’t reach the stage of waiting yearly for the next new book.
Excellent narration , as usual.

Love the Ryder & Loveday series
Whilst I was really excited to get the next instalment off this series, I felt rather much that it was rushed off and that it lacked some of the wonderfully magical touches that make it a story from yesteryear. I love the characters, but to find them suddenly swearing really grated with me. There’s no way Clement would ever have sworn in front of Trudy, if he ever swore at all. Trudy would not use coarse language either - back them nice girls just didn’t. It seems that this has been done to make it, what, more cool? Down with the kids? It’s a pity. That and the long drawn out nature of some scenes , taking so long to explain situations make it a less well written outing for this otherwise fabulous author.
