Summary
When Ellie Kent moves to an English village with her new husband Graham, she fears the villagers will always see her at that young American who snared their attractive vicar during his sabbatical in California. But this challenge is nothing compared to what happens when she stumbles across a body in the churchyard.
The villagers insist they don't know the murdered man, so suspicion mounts that the killer must be the incomer - the vicar's new wife. As evidence piles up against her, Ellie tries to stay one step ahead of the police to unravel a decades-old literary mystery and love story. Will others die before she can solve it? And what will be left of her new life and marriage, even if she succeeds?

Very enjoyable listen
We enjoyed listening to this very much - a whodunnit set in an English Cotswolds village, with quite a meaty feel.

Accent is confusing
Not surprisingly Saskia’s American accent is great - as she lives in NYC, however - I was surprised to find Oxfordshire is now overrun with Antipodeans …. I’m not sure how normal it is for the local accent to be from NZ! I lived in the Oxford area for over 20 years and never noticed!

Not completely convinced
Where this is going. Liked the storyline liked the heroine and like the narrator. Still seem to be not completely used to full potential. Like all involved held something back. But it has loads of points for unusual developments and unexplored options for more emphasis on the unique situation created in a seemingly so typical setting. I’m sure this will be getting even better in the next one just love the link to literature and village and clerical background and all with a twist.

So ridiculous
An American writing about England and the English badly.
Wallpaper for the ears when working at something useful.

Rather stylised vision of England
We don’t wear tweed all the time. The story was a mixture of Miss Marple meets Midsommer. Some of the pronunciation was awful and the accents slipped around all over the place. Not the best I’ve listened to
