1960, Oxford . 

As the city of Oxford prepares itself for the inaugural Miss Oxford Honey Beauty Pageant at the Old Swan Theatre, excitement is in the air. Then, tragedy strikes the competition when one of the leading contestants is found dead. 

Initially, the authorities assume her death was suicide. But after a malicious series of pranks and blackmail attempts are reported, WPC Loveday and Coroner Clement Ryder are called upon to solve the case. 

In an atmosphere of fierce competition, the list of suspects is endless. Could what have started as harmless fun become a deadly race to win the prize? With time running out, the duo need to spot the killer before tragedy strikes again....

A Good Book

This is the third in the series. I would firstly say go back and start with part one. They could be listened to out of order. But best start at the beginning A Fatal Obsession. that said they are all well written, if at times a little silly and far fetched. But to me that added to the charm of these easy to listen tales. All of which I have enjoyed thoroughly. Stephanie Racine does a great job narrating the stories. I ploughed my way through all three downloading the next straight after finishing one. I recommend highly.

Unique storyline

This is another great plot from Faith Martin. The characters are believable, and all have a place in the story. Brilliantly performed.

Very poor.

No story, dull characters, could have 2/3's shorter. I made the mistake of reading a review that compared this author to PD James. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Bit Childish

I bought this purely on reviews. When I started reading I was certain I'd made a mistake as the whole package - story, characters are surely meant for the 'young readers' section. Even the narrator sounds as if she's reading for this market. Couldn't finish, maybe I'm just jaded.
