Summary
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.

I really enjoyed it!
I love Mrs Pargeter. for a rich widow who's involved with "criminals" they're all rather cosy. I knew that pink cat would come in handy... and the zipper zapper.

Simon Brett
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!

Such a " feel good" book.
What did you like most about Mrs Pargeter's Principle?
The gentle story and great narration is calming but never boring. I hope there are more in this series.
What did you like best about this story?
The main characters - they are so genuine and have a certain naivety that is hard to find these days, but is so endearing
What does Simon Brett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I love his calm style.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Her principle wins through
Any additional comments?
If you are feeling down this is the book to listen to.

Marvellous Mrs Pargeter
I really enjoy Simon Brett's books. Mrs Pargeter is my favourite character of his, although Charles Paris is also great. The reading has a wide variety of voices and is overall easy and enjoyable to listen too. Thank you Simon Brett for the many hours of enjoyment you have given me over the years.

Good book, easy listening
I really enjoyed this. I've read a couple of Mrs Pargeter books before, but preferred them on Audible. Simon Brett reads it very well (not surprising). I'm sorry there don't seem to be any of the others on Audible.

Hilarious!
Loved it! Couldn't wait to listen at every opportunity. Fantastic characters....lovely to have the heroine as a slightly older lady who's sassy (though blissfully unaware!) and attractive despite some extra 'timber'. Love Gizmo's inventions and their slightly dubious names. Brilliantly characterised loveable rogues. More Mrs. Pargeter on Audible, please.

Entertaining as always.
I enjoy the Simon Brett books. The narration is great and the plot is good. To me they are well written lighthearted crime books which lead you in to use your imagination to see the character.
