About this listen
Murder at the Old Abbey is the second book by Pippa McCathie to feature detective Matt Lambert and Fabia Havard.
White Monk Abbey is a local landmark and its resident patriarch, Caradoc Mansell, a foreboding presence. He runs his household and family as if he is still in the army.
So, when he is found murdered, the challenge Chief Inspector Matt Lambert faces is that many people had a good reason to want him dead. And when it is discovered that Caradoc had children from dalliances in his youth, his family also fall under suspicion - their substantial inheritance having been put in doubt. With so many suspects and little evidence, he draws on the advice of his former boss, ex-detective Fabia Havard. But will their fractious relationship get in the way of finding the killer?

Too many characters, with confusing names, although good storyline with predictable ending, still enjoyable being second book in this series

Let down by narration.
I enjoyed the story but it was let down by the narration. Very clear diction but sounded almost childlike and at times it seemed as if they didn't understand what they were actually saying - putting emphasis on the wrong words in sentences etc., which gave a really strange rhythm. This was exacerbated by them not always pausing at the end of sentences. Very disconcerting.

Weak narration
Story line is good, and I didn’t work out who the guilty party was until near the end. But, the narration is weak. It’s like listening to a young child read at times. I persevered to the end, but won’t listen to anymore books read by this narrator.

Lovely Welsh accent
I liked the story, it was simple but engaging. The characters were well drawn and I enjoyed the way the main characters are developed from book one. So nice to have a reader with a real Welsh accent ~ I was born in Wales, and feel a real affinity. Yes, her delivery was a bit pedestrian, and she could do with learning a bit more about punctuation, but I didn’t mind because she sounded so authentic

disappointing
Just when I got into the story it ended. Abruptly as though the writer had got bored or run out of ideas. I enjoyed the first in the series so was very disappointed.

Predictable Chic Lit
Enough is enough. The story represents misandry at its very worst. Women walking on water, jumping tall buildings etc. etc. The number of times we need to hear that the a character forgot to charge their phone is priceless.
The narrator is awful, simply awful. if a person cannot speak correctly, they should not be employed to read books,

Noisy
Dreadful narration, had to slow it to 0.8, the main characters can be childish at times and very often contradictory in character, l’ll not be bothering with any more in the series .
