About this listen
Bookshop owner and amateur detective Flora Steele teams up with handsome crime writer Jack Carrington to unravel a curious murder in the village of Abbeymead!
Sussex, 1956: When Flora and her partner in crime solving, Jack, arrive at the charming church of St Saviour’s, the last thing they’re expecting to find is the curate, Lyle Beaumont, lifeless on the flagstone floor beneath the bell tower, with a mysterious note in his hand.
Flora is dismayed to find the poor curate dead. But she can’t help being intrigued by the eclectic mix of bell ringers present at the old church–Mr. Preece, the local butcher, Dilys Fuller, the busybody postmistress, and Stephen Henshall, a newcomer to the closeknit community. Any one of them could be the culprit–and Flora needs to act fast before someone gets away with murder....
When Flora and Jack begin their sleuthing, they quickly realize all is not what it seems with the victim, and the certainty of the dead man’s identity becomes the first twist in the investigation.
Just as they’re getting closer to the answer, the death of one of the suspects changes everything. As a series of unexplained accidents unfolds across the village, it seems no one who was present at the church on the night of the curate’s demise is safe.
Has the bell tolled on Flora and Jack’s detective days? And will they work out the truth in time to save themselves?
A completely addictive cozy crime novel set in the fictional Sussex village of Abbeymead. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin, and Joy Ellis!

Gets better by the book
A very nice option for a cozy mystery: less cozy but more interesting than other series with a good dose of history and still enough personal investment of the actors in the story to get a feel for it. It’s easy to time travel listening to the audiobook to a time so much different to what we know and experience but still with crimes not so much different. There is wit and humour but also suspense and excitement and a nice dose of sleuthing the old fashioned way. It’s fascinating that without the help of modern technic the crimes are not that much different in origin, villain and motives than in high action killings of modern stories. This series deserves a lot more stories and I’m glad there will be more following. The narration is good but takes a while to get used to as the male voices often drift to much into high pitches but with some slower speed it is better to distinguish after a few chapters.

Another excellent mystery
This is the fifth entry in the Flora Steele series. The standard is as high as ever. Plenty of twists and turns to the plot and nicely developed relationship between Flora and Jack. It’s a ‘cosy’ mystery with the ideal village setting and interesting characters. It mostly avoids those rather silly/ far fetched episodes that other ‘cosy’ series indulge in with a amateur sleuths. I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys intelligent, but not gritty, graphic crime novels.

A wonderful rad
Again another enjoyable listen. A really good, strong storyline with nicely crafted twists and unexpected turns… especially at the end. The characters are developing beautifully and the strong connections are forming solidly together. I can’t wait to listen to the next one “Murder at Abbeymead Farm”… I can’t seem to find it..when will it be available?

I love these books - easy listening, just perfect
Really enjoyed this book and love that I've listened to them in order, although they could stand alone.
It's a murder mystery but not dark, more on a par with Agatha Christie. Looking forward to the sixth book and seeing what happens in everyone's lives.

The relationship deepens
Love these murder mysteries, so cosy and quaint from the 1950s in the south of England. And of course at the heart of it all, Flora and Jack’s developing relationship… More please! X

I've read and enjoyed all the previous books in the series but found this one to be quite confusing and the storyline not so good. hope the next one gets back on track
