About this listen

May 1912. After the previous year’s deadly heatwave, it’s been an uneventful spring in Littleton Cotterell. Though for Lady Hardcastle and her fiercely loyal lady’s maid Flo, at least there are the provincial delights of the village’s inaugural art exhibition—and bicycle race—to look forward to.

But at the exhibition opening, there’s a panicked shout of ‘Fire!’ In the confusion, the main attraction—an extremely expensive book—is stolen from under everyone’s nose, as is a valuable painting lent by Sir Hector Farley-Stroud. Then the race, which starts as a charming day out, ends in a shocking death. And to top it all off, the Farley-Strouds reveal they’re in debt and might lose their house.

The sleuthing duo soon find themselves torn between a murder investigation, an art theft mystery, and trying to help their pals. All with a suspicious figure from Flo’s past, a supercilious insurance investigator, and a pair of rather bizarre treasure hunters on the loose…

Brilliantly written, and superbly performed. This is my favorite cozy mystery series by far; anxiously awaiting the next title.

There is no better series in this genre then the lady Hardcastle mysteries.

Once again. Kinsey is such an enjoyable writer and if you’re looking for a well written and beautifully narrated read I encourage you to pick up one of her books.

Never ceases to please

Love the playful banter between the characters and how Kinsey tied all the various plot points together in the end. Though I wish it was made clear that Sir Hector actually got his painting back.

Absolutely Delightful
