À propos de cet audio
Completely addictive British cozy crime mystery
A bright blue sky, a glamorous boating party, an English manor house on the Cornish cliffs… and surely not another murder! Get Kitty Underhay on the case!
Cornwall, 1937. Kitty Underhay has been called to investigate some fishy goings-on in the beautiful coastal village of St Mawes. The body of Lady Cordelia Hedges’ beloved father was found floating in the sea, and shortly afterwards Cordelia herself was almost killed…
Determined to piece together the puzzle, Kitty spends her first evening in the Cornish bay at one of Cordelia’s lavish parties. But she’s not just soaking up the idyllic surroundings with her husband Matt, she’s at the party to get to know those closest to their host. The sleuthing duo quickly realise they’re in unchartered waters and this could be their toughest case yet.
Later that evening, a scream wakes Kitty in the middle of the night: Lady Cordelia is sitting bolt upright in bed, swearing someone has been in her room. As Bertie the dog retrieves a knife from behind the curtain, Kitty’s list of suspects grows: could the murderer be Cordelia’s suspicious stepsister, her spoiled future mother-in-law, or someone even closer to home…?
Then a house guest eats a poisoned chocolate from a box addressed to Cordelia and dies. This latest tragedy helps Kitty to make progress in her investigations at last. But is Kitty floundering? Will she be able to solve this case before someone else gets hurt, or will Kitty end up in a watery grave?
Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Lee Strauss will adore this utterly charming murder mystery. The perfect treat for cozy crime fans!

With that said, this book was soo very predictable, it was almost boring. There was no guessing needed. My first instinct as to who the culprit was, (at 10% in), was correct.
Though it was predictable, i listened to the entire book, because i wanted to know why.
This is not a fast paced book.This is not a terribly creative book. This is not the type of mystery that will have you guessing until the very end, and this is not a book with any sort of twist. If that is what you are looking for, find another book.
The one thing that annoyed me and it annoys me in any book, is where an author uses the real name of a drug/illness, disease or treatment, but then twists it to suit their narrative, rather than using actual facts. In this book, it's Regression Therapy.
In this novel it's the 1930s. Hypnotherapy became a bigger thing in the 1950s but Regression Therapy wasn't even a thing until the late 1970s, early 1980s. So to have this 1930s novel, pull in all these newer techniques and speech of regression therapy just threw me. It created drama between the doctors that was so quickly snuffed out after one session, it almost made me suspect one of them as being an accomplice.
I will say, if you don't realize who the culprit is by the time of the regression therapy session, you are not listening close enough.
