Summary

A Campbell and Cater mystery. Crime in the Cotswolds just got deadly. When Lucas Burton arrives at a deserted farm, hoping to conduct a business deal, he stumbles across the body of a girl. And that's just the start of his problems. Penny Gower, from the local stables, spots his car leaving the crime scene, and when her friend Andrew Ferris calls the police it's only a matter of time before Lucas gets a visit from someone he'd rather not see...

A detective story

This started as a potentially great story but I felt it lost out on an opportunity to make it shine in my library. Sadly it didn't pack the punch it might have.
No matter. It was entertaining.

An enjoyable story well narrated

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Characters, backgrounds neatly interwoven and loose ends tied up at the end.
Superbly read by Judith Boyd...as ever.

Not bad

I wanted a crime novel to enjoy whilst relaxing. This book delivered. The main character Jess, I found at bit irritating - can't put my finger on why. The plot twists were a little predictable, but sometimes you need to get the murderer right don't you.

Excellent narrator, lively story

The novel’s opening scenes grab your attention right away, and the story moves along. I was guessing all along until the last couple of chapters, so I thought it was an engaging and delightful book.

the ghosts

I liked the ghosts especially when the new one joined in with the family at the end. Eli was also a favourite and loved how he came through for penny at the end. v curious about superintendent carter's issue with Alan markby. will have to see what happened in the earlier books.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this very much. I must admit I had put it to one side as I didn't know the author and only listened when I'd run out of everything else!
But what a mistake! Spent a marvellous few hours in the company of Jess and the characters down at the stables. Good characterisation and an interesting plot! I'm already planning my next listen for a good long journey.
