Summary
When classic horror movie star Basil Coates becomes the victim of a series of scary pranks, the local police put it down to a crazed fan. Just pranks, after all... But with Halloween only days away, the spectre of murder suddenly visits the ghostly Coates mansion on the hill outside Cherringham - and Jack and Sarah find themselves caught in a mystery worthy of Basil's spookiest roles...
Cherringham is a serial novel à la Charles Dickens, with a new audio episode released every two weeks. Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick listen for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa. For fans of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series, Lilian Jackson Braun's The Cat Who series, Caroline Graham's Midsomer Murders, and the American TV series Murder She Wrote, starring Angela Lansbury.
Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid 90's, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and - most recently - the successful crime fiction series Cherringham.
The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of DCI John Barnaby in "Midsomer Murders" and Jim Riley in "The Life of Riley". He is also known for his film roles in "The Nativity", "Sorted" and "Son of Rambow". In 2012 Dudgeon starred as Norman Birkett on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

Scared to death
The weakest story of this wonderful series- but still entertaining, and good characters.
Enjoyable chemistry of our hero and heroine cooking together , and pleasant depiction of teenagers , but not convincing that stars of horror movies would be terrified to death by special effects.
But still a comforting cosy murder!

Wonderful Series
I love this series and have to say this is one of my favorites episodes so far. They just keep getting better and better. They are shorter than a normal audible book but there are compilations of several episodes together available. Wonderful characters and superb narration. There will be a new full length one coming out in April and I can't wait to spend longer with Jack and Sarah in Cherringham. I'm also insanely jealous of anyone just starting this series so much to look forward to.

Another Good Yarn from Cherringham.
Sarah and Jack, an aged Horror actor, a little suspension of disbelief, and you have another Cherringham mystery solved.
