The best in the series so far
This book kept my attention from start to finish. The plot was interesting and plausible and I didn't guess the ending. It was very enjoyable and I look forward to reading the rest of this series of books.

Genteel
Set in the 1920s, more a book about people and their lives than murder. Well narrated-I loved the pace, not fast but not slow either. I could listen anywhere out loud as gory details were not given.
I will listen to more by F B.

A beautifully rich and absorbing book
This book transports the reader to a bygone age so completely - you can almost smell and taste the lives of the characters, their surrounds and the times in which they lived. Beautifully told with twists and turns keeping you guessing to the last. I will most certainly be spending my Audible credits on many, many more of Frances Brody’s wonderfully rich novels.

An interesting story, well read
I enjoyed listening to this story as it was read at a good pace and the characters well developed.
I loved the homely details in some descriptions.

Thoroughly enjoyable
What did you like most about Murder in the Afternoon?
I really enjoy the fact that the story is set in the West Riding, and also that it evokes the period just after the first world war. The story runs along and the interaction between Kate Shackleton and Mr Sykes is well done
What other book might you compare Murder in the Afternoon to, and why?
The other books about this detective are similar in that they have the same characters and settings, also the plot lines are good
Have you listened to any of Anne Dover’s other performances? How does this one compare?
The performance of Anne Dover adds to the story's enjoyment
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I like to savour these books and listen to them, with the light off, last thing at night.

Good story
I enjoyed it and it got better and more complex as it progressed. Rather emotional epilogue.
