Summary

Jack's a retired ex-cop from New York, seeking the simple life in Cherringham. Sarah's a Web designer who's moved back to the village to find herself. But their lives are anything but quiet as the two team up to solve Cherringham's criminal mysteries. This compilation contains episodes 19 - 21:

GHOST OF A CHANCE
Every Halloween, the supposedly haunted Bell Hotel hosts its famous 'Ghost-Hunters Dinner', complete with scary stories, spooky apparitions and things that go bump in the night. But this year's event ends in a terrifying accident, and suddenly everyone wonders... Is there a real ghost loose in the hotel? Jack and Sarah are convinced that the culprit must be human: who would want bad things to happen at the classic hotel? But soon they're forced to confront their own superstitions as they find themselves on the trail of an unsolved Victorian murder...

FOLLOW THE MONEY
Claire and Terry Goodman seem to have everything. Successful business. Son at Oxford. New mansion right on the River Thames. And seemingly... plenty of money to spend. But when Jack and Sarah are asked to investigate an odd robbery at their home, secrets start to emerge. And as the truth is revealed, for someone it will be too much to bear, and murder may be the only way out.

MURDER MOST WILD
When the Zakro Corporation attempts to build a mammoth supermarket outside Cherringham, the whole village is up in arms. But the accidental death of the lead environmentalist, Sam Lewis seems to hand victory to the developers. Could Sam's opposition to the project be the real reason he died? When Jack and Sarah take on the case, they will learn that what was an accident was - in fact - one very wild murder.

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.

Thank goodness it’s back!!

This felt like a long time coming but it was worth the wait as Sarah and Jack are back on top form once again. I doubt anyone will be starting the series here so you know what to expect but I did love the hint of something more in their relationship, the slightest touch of romance maybe?

Fingers crossed we won’t be waiting months again for the next chapter, I get very jealous of my German friends getting it so soon as they are books ahead!

Quite Ordinary

I read a few of the reviews before purchasing this - not that I needed to be convinced, I enjoy every story. However, these 3 felt a bit 'ordinary', not fully fleshed out and in the first one, hardly credible.

As for the other 2, I don't know if it is me, but they had more of a short story, hurriedly finished, feel about them. The last one - who set the fire? The second one - (well I can't ask that question without spoiling the tale). Normally, there's more to the narrative, but not on this occasion.

A couple of reviews said something about Jack and Sarah's burgeoning relationship! I didn't see it! I could be wrong, but it just didn't seem that anything extraordinary was going on. Time will tell. But I would say: "Move along now. Nothing to see here."

If you're already a Cherringham fan, this is still good value for money. But it's just, ordinary.

Brilliant!

I have listened to all the Cherringham mysteries and they just get better and better. I love Neil Dudgeon's American accent and find his narration wonderful to listen to as I drift off to sleep at night. The only problem is that I stay awake far longer than I should in order to hear the story progress! I can't wait for the next set of stories to be released and really hope that romance could be in the air!

Excellent just what we need.

This is an excellent set of short mysteries which take place in the village of Cherringham. The characters are, for the most part very British except for a retired NYPD detective. The narration by Neil Dudgeon is spot on, he really is so talented and reads in a gentle manner. In a world of upset and uncertainty this is just what we need. Thank you.

More delightful cottage mysteries

I have continued to enjoy the uncomplicated world building in these shorts stories, which provides a very pleasant background for the lovable main characters and their modest -yet entertaining- adventures.

Series running out of steam perhaps?

I have thoroughly enjoyed this easy listening series. The cast of characters memorable, the reading excellent, the storylines very clever bearing in mind each episode's short duration. The last compilation wasn't quite the 5 stars I was used to and nor is this. Its an enjoyable listen but the storylines are not quite as interesting, the dialogue and detail not quite as good. Perhaps this is just a little blip but sadly perhaps this very excellent series is running out of steam. I like it so much I shall download the next nevertheless and hope we're back on track!

Great as always

Sarah and Jack are fantastic characters and I am really involved with their lives. The stories are all interesting, varied and worth listening to. Neil dies a great job with the narration.
