About this listen
As friends, the boisterous and brash American Beryl couldn't be less alike than the prim and proper British Edwina. But as sleuths in an England recovering from the Great War, they're the perfect match.
The year is 1920: Flying in the face of convention, legendary American adventuress Beryl Helliwell never fails to surprise and shock. The last thing her adoring public would expect is that she craves some peace and quiet. The humdrum hamlet of Walmsley Parva in the English countryside seems just the ticket. And, honestly, until America comes to its senses and repeals Prohibition, Beryl has no intention of returning stateside and subjecting herself to bathtub gin.
For over three decades, Edwina Davenport has lived comfortably in Walmsley Parva, but the post-World War I bust has left her in dire financial straits and forced her to advertise for a lodger. When her long-lost school chum Beryl arrives on her doorstep - actually crashes into it in her red motorcar - Edwina welcomes her old friend as her new roommate.
But her idyllic hometown has a hidden sinister side, and when the two friends are drawn in, they decide to set up shop as private inquiry agents, helping Edwina to make ends meet and satisfying Beryl's thirst for adventure. Now this odd couple will need to put their heads together to catch a killer - before this sleepy English village becomes their final resting place.

A delightful detective story
Performance was fantastic. I fell in love with the characters, and the story was well done.
If you liked Murder, She Wrote, you’ll enjoy this.

Loved the narrator’s voice
I really enjoyed the story and the accents used by the narrator. Loved the characters and the feel of village life - highly recommend as a fun “cozy” murder mystery

Good story
Slow at first but enjoyable. I enjoyed the simple wit and the bravery of the women. I also couldn’t pinpoint the murderer until the end. Good story

PRETTY GOOD!
Enjoyed the story much more than I expected. Would read another one of her books. The narrator was good for the most part except all the females voices sounded exactly the same , which wasn't helpful. She did well with the male voices.

Very enjoyable
The story was humorous and interesting. Nothing like a cozy murder in an English village! The performance was also very good. I look forward to the 2nd book in this series.

Captivating
Barbara did a wonderful job narrating Jessica Elliot’s novel. Vocal transition from one character to another was truly impressive. The novel itself was a intriguing, funny, mysterious and very entertaining.

Humorously Entertaining
A thoroughly cozy mystery.
I love the inner thoughts of the two main characters.
I was laughing aloud while listening, and was thrilled to find a second book had already been written.
The portrayal of the characters was enjoyable. Even though the narrator could sometimes be heard swallowing, I would happily listen to her work in the future.
