About this listen

The peace of a Midlands village is upset when local businessman Harry Bowers doesn’t return from choir practice.

More concerned than the man’s own wife, it would seem, investigating officer Detective Sergeant Sunita Roy becomes convinced he has been done away with.

But there is no trace of the man, just a litany of evidence of an ailing marriage and a nose-diving business venture.

In charge of her first serious case, DS Roy will struggle to win the respect of her colleagues—in particular her Brummie boss, DCI Gavin Roscoe. All that whilst fighting off the intentions of an increasingly desperate suitor.

Who had it in for the budding chorister? And is Roy tough enough to break down the defences and prejudices of Middle England?

Very good for a ‘free’ listen. Very well narrated

Colin Mace’s narration was very good as always. I enjoyed how he read this story in a ‘straightforward’ manner, almost documentary style, but then acted out the characters’ dialogues. And did so very well indeed. The narration carried the book because it’s not the best written, but nevertheless the story is inventive and involved. I recommend highly. Better than most I’ve actually paid for.

Murder on Oxford Lane Book One

I enjoyed getting to know the characters and watching them develop. The storyline was engrossing and I look forward to reading book two

Okay

I listened to this purely because of the narrator and I'm left slightly disappointed. General story quite good but general competency of the police was questionable, not really having any clue of the culprit till right at the very end. The side story of the stalker didn't really seem convincing. Average but would try another.

Disappointing

Unnecessarily story in the story and occasional repeats in descriptions… overall ok but irritating. Narration helps to keep going.
