About this listen

 ‘The pairing of Ryder and Loveday is a stroke of genius.’ Clare Chase, author of the Eve Mallow and Tara Thorpe mysteries

Oxfordshire, 1962. As May Day dawns in the peaceful village of Middle Fenton, a young woman is found brutally strangled, her body tied up with ribbons in the middle of the green. A week later, her boyfriend is found hanged in a local barn, and the police assume guilt over murdering his beloved has driven him to suicide – but not everyone is convinced.

WPC Trudy Loveday and Coroner Clement Ryder are called in to investigate, and it doesn’t take long for them to suspect a far more chilling truth: a double murderer is at large.

As the pair dig deeper, it becomes clear the killer will do anything to protect their secret – even kill again. With time running out, can Trudy and Clement unmask the culprit before they become the next victims?

A gripping, twisty cosy crime novel, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Richard Osman and M.C. Beaton.

A cozy for people who can't stand cozies. I really like this series. I found it on Audible. The series starter sounded good and for the cost of less than a credit, I thought I'd give it a try. Totally worth it.
The characters are likable, believable and well developed and the setting is vivid and carefully researched. You really do feel like you're in small town England in the early 60s. It can be hard to make period pieces feel authentic, but this one does. No awkward anachronisms.
The plot went in an unexpected direction and it kept me guessing the killer's identity right up to the end.
It was good. It's a reliable series. I'm always happy to see a new installment.
