Summary
This compilation contains episodes 10 - 12:
- A Deadly Confession,
- Blade in the Water,
- Death on a Summer Night.
Here local priest Father Byrne meets his unexpected demise. Jack and Sarah investigate - who could harm the beloved Father? And what secrets did he take to the grave? The Cherringham Regatta is shaken when vandalism of boots turns into bloody murder. And when a murder suspect is freed from prison after 25 years, it's apparent someone in Cherringham wants him to continue serving his sentence - to death. But Jack and Sarah start to question... did he commit the crime in the first place?
Cherringham is a series à la Charles Dickens, with a new mystery thriller released each month. 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".

As re-listenable as Heartbeat is re-viewable
If you could sum up Cherringham - A Cosy Crime Series Compilation (Cherringham 10 - 12) in three words, what would they be?
Three more great stories
What about Neil Dudgeon’s performance did you like?
Neil Gudgeon is the main reason that I started listening to the series. For me he is a fine actor and narrator
Any additional comments?
The whole series is superb. An ex American cop working with a single Mum sorting out, albeit tongue in cheek, crimes in a small English village. Such a shame that there are only twelve episodes.

A step too far into fantasy village life
Having previously enjoyed Cherringham audio books on the understanding that the stories and characters have very little to do with real life and that Neil Dudgeon's voice is great to listen to when trying to get to sleep I bought this volume on the 40% off offer. Despite this I am returning the book as the plots are now too unrealistic even for one who occasionally watches and sometimes enjoys Midsummer Murders! The characterisation is wooden and stereotypes abound. As a friend of a couple of nuns the last straw was the story in the convent which has little resemblance to reality. I shall have to go back to Agatha Christie novels and although I will miss the comforting tones of the narrator I do like my plots to have some foothold in reality. If you like easy going, not having to think too hard plots then the previous ones are worth trying but this is not.

More brilliant tales
If you could sum up Cherringham - A Cosy Crime Series Compilation (Cherringham 10 - 12) in three words, what would they be?
Not so cosy
What did you like best about this story?
All three stories are very well written. Real who dunnits that leave you guessing almost to the very end. I really enjoy the two different characters. I have perchased all the English translations of the series and they are all equally good in my opinion. Not really a "cosy" series although there are no descriptions of violence, sex or very strong language. Which I don't think are necessary if you are a good writer. It's nice to have books that one can listen to with any family member including 10 year old grandchildren.
Which character – as performed by Neil Dudgeon – was your favourite?
Definitely Jack. Some American accents can be dyer when spoken by English actors but, Mr Dudgeon performs it brilliantly and believabley. In fact he does all of the narration and different voices very well.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
It's three different stories. But I think I was most moved by the last chapter of the last one. I can't say why because that would be a spoiler.
Any additional comments?
I really hope that the rest of the series are translated into English very soon. This is my favourite set of books by far.

Not the best of the series.
The third episode may have been both the best and the worst episode so far in the series. Darker and more tense than usual (good) but also out of character stupid risk-taking (bad). Not the best piece of writing from Costello / Richards there...
Still a good mix of story material though.
Series is on the verge of getting a bit stagnant in spite of this. NO character development as yet.

For all Midsomer Murders Lovers!!!
If you love Midsomer Murders, this is for you. I love detective stories Stuart MacBride, James May, Graham Masterson...the lot. But I find too many of them in a row start to become depressing. This is a more gentle series. All the good detective work without the nightmares. The fact that Neil Dudgeon narrates the series makes it pure perfection!

Create little stories
I do love these stories. Just wish the 3 different books were labelled and the chapters were numbered correctly. A bit of a guessing game if you want to ‘rewind’.
