Summary

’Till death do us part may come sooner than they thought....

The year 1934. Kitty Underhay steps out of the battered Rolls Royce and onto the graveled driveway of Thurscomb Castle in deepest Yorkshire. She’s honored to be a bridesmaid at her cousin Lucy’s wedding to the reluctant Lord Rupert Woodcomb, but as family and friends gather for welcome drinks, Kitty dodges intrusive questions about her own marital status by taking a stroll about the castle grounds. As she passes through the manicured gardens, a fatal shot rings out....

The valet, Evans, is dead. And Kitty can’t help but notice how rattled the man standing next to him seems. Could Rupert’s best man, The Right Honorable Alexander "Sandy" Galsworthy, believe the speeding bullet was meant for him?

When she discovers that Sandy has been receiving blackmail notes, Kitty suspects that one of the assembled guests has plans to make good on their threats. The local constabulary won’t act on Kitty’s hunch, so, busy with her bridesmaid’s duties, she asks her beau, ex-army captain Matthew Bryant, to help.

The ceremony passes without a hitch. But when an anxious Sandy slips away during the dancing, Matt follows, only to make a hideous discovery: Sandy is dead, flattened on the terrace by some falling masonry.

Now the duo are sure that there is a murderer within the castle walls. But can they untangle Sandy’s final hours and catch this killer before they strike again, or will the wedding bells be replaced by a death knell for Kitty herself?

A completely charming cozy historical Golden Age murder mystery! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey, and Lee Strauss.

The Miss Underhay Mystery series was previously narrated by Alex Tregear, who is now beginning a new adventure as she trains to be an occupational therapist.

I have loved this series until now but the new narrator has managed to eradicate everything I loved about these characters. She has changed Kitty into a stuck up know it all with a v plummy voice. Her accent is complete incorrect, let alone incredibly annoying. Matt us now cold and bossy and every servant sounds like they come from Bristol! Devonian is a very different accent to a west of England accent. Not to mention all the posh men sound the same, as do the posh women. It’s such a shame as the stories are great fun but what made them great for me was the narrating. The original one just took the books to another level. I will not be buying these again unless the again change the narrator to someone with a little more depth and experience in characterisation and accents!!!

Such a shame!

Why why why have they changed the narrator?!?!?

Although I enjoyed the story of the book I was not keen on the new very “upper class” voices of some of my favourite characters, especially that of Kitty’s voice . This did somewhat spoil the book for me as I was keenly awaiting it’s arrival on Audible and was unfortunately disappointed.

I love these mysteries but like many others I struggled with the change in narrator. The different voices are quite out of kilter with the characters- Kitty is far too posh and I found it hard to keep track of who was speaking.

Bring back Alex Tregear!

Another great book

I wish I had never bought this audible. I enjoy reading but if my eyes are sore or I am too busy to read myself I enjoy listening and Alex Tregear was good. Now with this book, all of a sudden, Kitty has developed an upper class accent which would make her despicable after such a short time of knowing she was related to aristocracy. She is a hotelier in Devon she speaks the way Alex does it. Calliope - did the narrator read and understand the book? Did she read the previous ones? Did she listen to previous narration? I would say NO to all those questions. From the voice she used for Calliope one would have expected a very down trodden poor individual who had difficulty with the English language, instead of a sophisticated English person depicted in the book! I had to read the book myself after the first chapter as I could stand her narration no longer.
What has happened to Alex? please bring her back because if the new book due out soon has this person as narrator I for one will not be buying it.

Super book ruined by the narrator
