Summary
Outside, Rookery Barn glows in the mid-morning sunshine while fat bees flit lazily between the forget-me-nots. Inside, a body lies dead…
Widowed Georgina Drake has no regrets about moving to beautiful, sleepy Little Wenborough in rural Norfolk. Until she opens the door to her rental property and finds the dead body of her latest guest, irritable university professor Roland Garnett. And on top of that she’s suddenly hearing a woman’s voice through her hearing aids.
Completely shaken by the discovery, Georgina can hardly believe it when the police conclude that Professor Garnett was poisoned, with a dinner delivered by Georgina herself. Is she about to be accused of murder? Georgina needs to pull herself together, try to ignore the distracting voice, and clear her name!
Asking around, it seems Roland Garnett offended half the village during his three-week stay and made unwelcome advances to the rest. But who was provoked enough to poison him? Georgina’s best lead is the deadly oleander found in Roland’s system. Her gardener, Young Tom, had access to the plant, but before she can talk to him Tom becomes the killer’s next victim.
As the crimes mount up, so do the clues, but does Georgina have what it takes to follow them to their conclusion? Even when her amateur sleuthing puts her next in the killer’s sights…?
An addictive and completely gripping cozy crime novel. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin and Midsomer Murders.

Discovered another first class author!
Loved this title so much I’ve just purchased the other 2 books in this series. Really really enjoyed it. The story kept me listening and I’ve listened to this in one day on and off. The narration was brilliant and overall this book is worth more than 5 stars. Hope the other 2 books by this author are just as good. Definetely worth a listen if you want an easy listen and a new police drama.

Loved it
Loved this twisty turny mystery with a deaf heroine, a remote setting, a ghost, quirky friends, and a potential new love interest. Real page turning quality and a great narrator for the audiobook. Can’t wait for the next episode in this series!

An Excellent Murder Mystery.
Loved everything about this book. I enjoyed the narration, storyline and style of writing and could not stop listening. Such believable characters, including Doris the ghost. Need to read more of this series.

Wow what a fab new series
This is the first in a new series. I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn’t wait to find out what happened, especially to Doris. I have downloaded book 2 and found out that book 3 is out in June. Can’t wait to continue this journey with Georgina!

Had to abandon it
Far too weird.
Badly written, repetitive, and a deaf woman hearing the voice of ghost thru her hearing aids?
Unbelievable rubbish.
Not for me.
