Publisher's Summary
Last year at Cherringham High, and for three girls that means facing the School Summer Challenge, a grueling fifty-mile hike across the Cotswolds, through thick woods, over steep hills, camping each night under the stars. But when one of them disappears in the middle of the night and is found dead in the morning, most believe a terrible accident has taken place. Was it really an accident? Jack and Sarah aren't convinced - and soon discover that secrets and lies can have terrible consequences... and always leave a trail... Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack.
Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.
Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid 90's, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and - most recently - the successful crime fiction series Cherringham. The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of "DCI John Barnaby" in "Midsomer Murders" and "Jim Riley" in "The Life of Riley". He is also known for his film roles in "The Nativity", "Sorted" and "Son of Rambow". In 2012 Dudgeon starred as "Norman Birkett" on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

Consistently entertaining, even at #31....
I buy these installments of the ongoing Cherringham crime series as soon as they are released. The characters and English settings are engaging, and I love, love, love the narration by Neil Dudgeon. This one was every bit as fresh and well-written, at number 31, as any of them. I only wish they would appear more often. In this one, the audio editor failed Mr. Dudgeon in not catching the mispronunciation of Quantico and Adirondack, two American place names that were spoken by the American, Jack. It wasn't enough to make me unhappy, but it was enough to make me wince. All in all, I will just say "more, please".

Always fun to see Jack and Sarah..
Haven’t read a Cherryingham cozy in a couple of months and forgot how wonderful Jack and Sarah are, and how much I love these little mysteries are. This one was about the death of a girl and Jack and Sarah, once again, made the police department look stupid.
Even after listening to 31 of these stories I still enjoy them immensely.
No sex or swearing! Just good clean mysteries.
As to the narration: Neil Dudgeon is simply awesome in these novellas. I wouldn’t enjoy them half-as-much if it weren’t for him.

Riveting
This time the wrong person gets murdered and there is an incredible amount of lying. Full of danger to our pair of sleuths.

Cherringham mysteries rock!
I enjoy all the Cherringham Mysteries. This one may not be the best, but it's a fun read. Actually you want to listen to this one just to hear the Brit mispronounce Adirondacks & Quantico!

Quick listen mystery
Another installment in the Cherringham series. It’s a quick read wherein a young woman is killed on a camp ring trip - accident or murder. It’s for Jack and Sarah to discover. Always a pleasure to see the two working together but solution was fairly easy to guess.

mispronounciations galore
The reader seems incapable of pronouncing the names of American towns or regions. He says "Adeer on dak" instead of "Ad i ron dak" as it is pronounced in the area. Then he says "Quan teeco" instead of "Quant i co". These are not obscure names with odd pronunciations and considering the affront taken by Brits when we mispronounce names from their country, it seems an easy mistake to avoid.
