Summary
As England recovers from its costly involvement in the Great War, Lady Phoebe Renshaw and her lady's maid, Eva Huntford, find the steady comforts of their lives unsettled by a local case of murder....
Eva is excited for a visit from her sister Alice, who lives in Suffolk with her husband and three children. But when Alice arrives alone, desiring a break from her family, Eva becomes concerned. Her dismay deepens as Alice starts spending time with a former beau, Keenan Ripley, who owns the nearby pear orchard. At the same time, Phoebe's sister Julia, now a widow and pregnant, is in a fretful state, and Phoebe struggles to be helpful to her.
When Keenan's brother Stephen, the new head gardener at the Renshaw estate, Foxwood Hall, is found impaled by a pair of hedge clippers, the police - including Eva's beau, Constable Miles Brannock - suspect his closest kin. Stephen had been eager to sell their orchard to an American developer, but Keenan had fiercely resisted. A table set with two teacups and scones suggests Keenan had company the morning of the murder - and Eva fears her sister was with him.
If Alice were to provide Keenan with an alibi, her reputation and marriage would be ruined. She denies being there but is clearly withholding secrets, much to Eva's consternation. Now, to protect her sister, Eva and Phoebe set off to expose the gardener's real killer, putting their own lives at risk.

Good story
The stories in this series are easy to listen to with good twists. My only problem is the use of American vocabulary such as gotten which was used a lot.

A Silent Stabbing
The story was great, the mystery better, just some slips with the grammar, and language which is a shame for an English historical. The budding romance are nice to follow too. Read brilliantly by Many Weston.

attention to correct detail would benefit readers
although a good continuation of series, the increasing insertion of american descriptive text spoils the authenticity of time period.

Enjoyable listen, despite all the errors
An enjoyable series, well narrated, and I managed to overlook the errors - the granddaughters of an earl do not have the honorary title, Lady. Because their father died before inheriting the title they will never be Lady Phoebe etc. Also, the rather over egged reason for the girls to marry “money”; Julia could have married the man she loved, she might have had fewer Chanel frocks, but …. The final straw, for me, was the constant reference to “herds” of sheep! Surely the editor would have picked that up, even an American editor? Still, as the book was free on Audible Plus I felt I could bear a few herds, the odd farm wife and houses with a foyer instead of a hall.

ugh Anericanisms
these books are becoming more and more predictable and more and more American. I've no issue with US English per se, but I've a real bug bear with books set in historical England but where no English proofreader has whittled out the Americanisms. i find myself shouting ''fringe'', ''pavement'', ''got'' etc. Plus, unless it's a regional thing - scones for breakfast? As a Brit, I've never heard of this before.
