À propos de cet audio
A smart and enchanting postwar mystery that will appeal to fans of the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear.
It is 1946, and war-weary young ex-intelligence officer Lane Winslow leaves London to look for a fresh start. When she finds herself happily settled into a sleepy hamlet in the interior of British Columbia surrounded by a suitably eclectic cast of small-town characters, she feels like she may finally be able to put her past to rest.
But then a body is discovered, the victim of murder, and although she works alongside the town's Inspectors Darling and Ames to discover who might have possibly have motivation to kill, she unknowingly casts doubt on herself. As the investigation reveals facts that she has desperately tried to keep a secret, it threatens to pull her into a vortex of even greater losses than the ones she has already endured.
A clever postwar mystery that will appeal to fans the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear or the Bess Crawford series by Charles Todd.

On a snowy day in December 1946, Lane Winslow - a former British intelligence agent who’s escaped to the rural Canadian community of King’s Cove in pursuit of a tranquil life - is introduced to the local hot springs. While there, she overhears nearby patrons speaking Russian. When one of those patrons is found dead in the change room, Lane’s linguistic and intelligence experience is of immeasurable value to the local police force in solving the murder.

In "Murder at the Mousetrap," the first Bunburry book, fudge-making and quaffing real ale in the local pub are matched by an undercurrent of passion, jealousy, hatred and murder - laced with a welcome dose of humour. Alfie McAlister has retreated from London to the peace and quiet of the country to recover from a personal tragedy. But an accidental death - which may have been no accident - reveals that the heart of England is far from the tranquil backwater he imagined.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“The 'find of the year', Iona Whishaw’s Lane Winslow series is a real treat. Set after WWII, Lane has left England for Canada...settling in the small village of King’s Cove. With a quaint cast of characters and the feel of Louise Penny’s Three Pines, the independence and quick wit of Kerry Greenwood’s Phryne Fisher and the intelligence of Jacqueline Winspear’s Maisie Dobbs, this mystery series has it all!” (Murder by the Book, Houston, TX)
“A good historical mystery with a cast of characters that will provide plot lines for the series to come. Iona Whishaw is a writer to watch.” (Margaret Cannon, Globe and Mail)
“Move over, Mr. Darcy! Inspector Darling and Lane Winslow join the ranks of Dorothy L. Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane in this exquisitely written, psychologically deft postwar mystery. I couldn’t put it down. If you miss Mary Stewart’s sleuthing heroines, if you loved Broadchurch and its village of suspects, settle in, turn off the phone, and enjoy!” (Linda Svendsen, author of Sussex Drive and Marine Life)

An interesting time and place
It took a while to become engaged in this story taking place in post war BC, but I definitely got there. Part of the problem was the narration - there are no distinct voices for the main characters, and the dialogue often sounds rather flat. Sometimes I cannot tell who is speaking, the intonations and voice are the same. The narrator is especially lacking with male voices. Poor Constable Ames sounds like a soprano!
But if you can bear with the narration, it’s a very good story. One last note: I did wonder at the complete absence of any indigenous characters in a story set in the Kootenays of BC in the 1940s.

Intro to King's Cove...
Seems to be another author I could follow. I like her style of storytelling. She lets the characters of the story develop over time, and allows them to reveal the mystery at a good pace.

enjoyed this book!
A Killer in Kings Cove was very good. Some had complained about the narrator's accents but I think she did fine. There were a lot of English people living in the Village and the Canadians got Canadian accents, Americans got American. Was kind of fun having a story in the province where I live in Canada! I'd read more of her books!

Good but…
It took me quite a while to get into this story. Mainly I think it’s due to the narration style. There is little to no difference for characters narration style (tone, intonation etc.) to allow a listener to be fully connected to characters or separate them from others. The narrator is just reading the book. Will give the next title a try … good story though.

My new favourite series!
I came across the first book of this series by accident. I decided to try it because of the comparisons to Jacqueline Winspear’s Maisie Dobbs series.
I enjoyed this book immensely. I love that it takes place in Canada. This author’s descriptions of the scenery and rural lifestyle in the late 40’s were beautiful and evocative. (I found myself googling the area in British Columbia!)
I found the writing to be excellent. The character development was also good and I am looking forward to discovering ever deepening layers of the characters in future books.
So enjoyable to listen! I highly recommend this book.
