À propos de cet audio
Claire Barclay finds a home in England after 25 years of travelling. She has money, a tour guide business, and ambitions. She is shocked by the murder in her quiet village, but is not going to give up on the haven she has finally found. With the help of her sister, the barracuda barrister, her new dog, new friends, and the unexpected stimulus of a new man in her life, she deals with suspicion, confusion, and threats.

Have to admit, English authors are one of my favourite.

wouldn’t ruin the story for anyone who has not white by glowing on about how in the lovely neighbourhood she’s lucky enough to have found a home in finally, which is wonderful…. One is discriminated against if you are not white and the whiter the better etc…
Well that’s great for the white protagonist, but it’s completely unnecessary as a comment, given the fact that this is presented as an ideal community - the beloved community she has always dreamed of and loves finally fitting into… so thank God she’s white and rich,, is the only real you can drive from this needless comment.
Another reason it irked me is that it’s not even that true. I live in a beautiful affluent cosy community in Canada where many white people have expressed to me that they feel it’s unfair that it’s assumed that their whiteness will give them advantages in their experience. It has not . Canada may be very different from the UK, however, our culture is extremely British and my cosy community in Whistler BC has multimillion dollar homes as a norm, beautiful craft stores, heritage stores, art, galleries… and very snobby social communities within it for sure… but it’s not “the whiter you are the more esteemed” The snobbery leans more toward the size of house and business you own, or your overall accomplishments in terms of how you’re treated in the community. Which let’s face it is always going to be, “what can you do for me” based .
I know many white people who are very tired of the assumption that they have had it very easily socially for being white and expressed tiredness over this cliché because they feel that the stigma nowadays tends more towards material status and job status than skin colour. I know this is not 100% true because I do have white friends that prefer to socialize with white people. But these people are never people who belong to the social elite . When it comes to the elitism of community planning and community planning events such as the author is describing , what the person can bring financially to the table always trumps their skin colour in my opinion .
My experience is that no one is openly stigmatized from community events . again It may be different in the UK but that is what it is like in Canada, and even if it is like that in the UK, I feel like this comment was placed in such a way that it all worked out perfectly for the protagonist, and it makes it an ugly experience for any reader who is not white as it doesn’t provide anything other than this is how it is how great for her … welcome to this lovely Gilmore girls fantasy where the whiter you are the better it is! Such a shame because I really love the story and I love the dog, especially and I’m so touched and moved by the scenes with the sweet dog. It would’ve been such a great cozy. I love the premise. I love the way appreciates what she has instead of whining about her inheritance and how she really doesn’t want it, but it’s forced on her lol ..it the way, so many women do in cozies. So much of this is fantastic, but the casual racism ruined it
Carlene O’Connors “Murder in an Irish village” series is the most outstanding cosy mysteries on Audible and the narration by Caroline Lennon is beyond outstanding. I would literally go see that in a concert. Her voice is fantastic. You can get them in bundles 1 to 3 and 3 to 6 and I think there are 11 in total. They are fantastic and definitely if you haven’t already heard them on Audible they are definitely where you should go before this one.
Really great except for the racism

I am at chapter 12 with 4 hours and 25 minutes remaining and I cannot persuade myself to listen any further. Even though the narrator Bianca Amato is fantastic at narrating, she can’t save a boring book.
At first I thought, fantastic, the murder happens right away. We’re going to get right to the sleuthing, especially when it’s outlined that Clare loves murder mysteries, she’s a tour guide and her next tour is with a bunch of murder mystery enthusiasts visiting sites around Britain that are either settings or homes of famous mystery writers. This couldn’t get any better. Her little group of tourers and her are going to jump right in, be nosey and this book will be everything a cosy mystery should be. None of that happens or if it does, it happens well after chapter 12.
I was right on board with this book, but wondering how it was going to fill 9 hours. That should have been a red flag that there was going to be a LOT of boring filler that had much to do about nothing. Why do we have to slog through all the details about history, America versus Britain, her drains clogging up, family drama and everything they eat at each pub they visit? We don’t.
From the moment things started happening, my first instinct was the sons of her stepfather, or the snooty woman who was now acting chair of the society, Barbara, especially since as soon as it’s mentioned that Clare’s group will be visiting the library, the library is set on fire. coincidence, I think not. Those are my guesses but the story is dragging so much, I don’t really care to listen further to find out if I am right.
The two stars are for the narrator
