About this listen
In the south of France, where hatred simmers in the heat, a man seemingly admired, and certainly feared, drops dead at a dinner party. All of the guests fall under suspicion, including Welsh-Canadian professor Cait Morgan. A criminologist who specializes in profiling victims, Cait sets out to solve the murder - and clear her name. Add to this the disappearance of an ancient Celtic gold collar said to be cursed and there you have the ingredients for a Nicoise salad of death, secrets, and lies.
Will Cait find the killer before she too falls victim to a murderer driven by a surprising and disturbing motive?The Corpse with the Silver Tongue is the first in the Cait Morgan mystery series, a classic whodunit series featuring the eccentric Professor Cait Morgan.

Good story, good narration.
I read through the reviews and nearly didn't get this audio book. I decided as it was free I'd give it a go. After some of the very critical comments about the author reading her story, I wasn't expecting a beautiful soft Welsh voice. Far better than some of the actors I have listened to in the past. yep I'll be listening to the next in the series. It's not a gripping David Baldacci but it was a very pleasant listen while cleaning the house etc.

Not sure about this one but will listen to the next
Took time to get engaged, story line a bit chaotic.. could be done better. To say that, I will listen to the second book too. (Wouldn’t pay for it)

Delightful
The narration was spot on for this novel. A typical Welsh accent perfectly painted the image of a totally unglamorous and, as such, realistic protagonist. The story was engaging and should be listened to as the character's retelling of events, rather than as a dramatisation of the story.

An interesting book read by author
Loved the Welsh Canadian narration and the total engagement of the primary character which I found very real. Thank goodness for non- plastic heroines at last.

loved it.
Contrary to some other reviewers I found the narrator excellent. As it is written in the first person, the tone of voice and accent works well and reflects the oddness of the protagonist.
I think it has a hint of Sherlock Holmes about it.

Kept me interested
An interesting protagonist - and enjoyable plot line. Well written and narrated. Kept me interested and looking forward to the next book. Hope there will be more.

Not a native English speaker here, but still truly disliked the narrator.
The story is quite interesting and engaging, however… spoiler, SPOILER: in my opinion the last chapter “Four Months Later” is totally unnecessary and unfortunately it ruins the book, with a totally improbable twist.
I normally like when the book’s author is also the narrator, because there is more emphasis on characters and events, but in this case it was just a painful listen.
As I said in my title I’m not a native English speaker, and for sure I’m not familiar with the Welsh accent, but the author has a dull voice, sometimes her volume is too low and annoyingly whiny.
I agree with other reviews: this book should be re-recorded with a professional voice actor.
I will not listen to the follow up book.

Gripping tale with excellent narration
I was completely hooked by the story. I found the style of the narrator a perfect match for the way Cait described what was going on and her approach to it.
