This was a fast read full of twists and turns which is no surprise with Richard Osman as the author. I’m looking forward to more books in this series.

Story
In England's stately manor houses, murder is not generally a topic for polite conversation. Mallowan Hall, home to Agatha Christie and her husband, Max, is the exception. And housekeeper Phyllida Bright delights in discussing gory plot details with her friend and employer . . . The neighboring village of Listleigh has also become a hub of grisly goings-on, thanks to a Murder Fête organized to benefit a local orphanage.

The author has written a cosy, classic mystery set in a country house. The narrator brought the characters to life and I’m looking forward to listening/reading this series. Well done and would recommend.

Something to think about
Reviewed: 03-12-24
I listened to this story and hope it’s never made into a movie or series. With the cast of characters it was a challenge to remember who was who. I’m not sorry or regret spending time on this book, but probably won’t listen to it for some time unless I find someone who wants to discuss the story.

Reviewed: 03-12-22
March is such an up and down often gray month and this story is just what I needed. I already have the third audio preordered. What a fun group of people who simply keep moving forward, trying the impossible and succeeding. Laugh out loud situations, observations, and comments are a treasure. Fantastic writing and Lesley Manville’s narration is spot on!

Story
In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place. Then she finds a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure, and danger. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world, and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.

A review tweaked my interest in the story and I originally thought I would just not listen to it, but the tale drew me in and I wanted, no needed to find out not just the end of the story but the whole tale.

Story
Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision.

Louise Penny delivers once again!
Reviewed: 09-08-20
Frankly I approached the newest title, All the Devils Are Here, with trepidation since the book was set in Paris, therefore Three Pines residents wouldn’t have a large role in the storyline. However, my fears were allayed by Louise Penny’s deft talent for continuing to develop a dynamics and Robert Bathurst’s rich narration. As with all previous titles, I’ll definitely listen again. The Gamache family has become my family as well. Thank you Louise and Robert!

Story
When an intricate old map is found stuffed into the walls of the bistro in Three Pines, it at first seems no more than a curiosity. But the closer the villagers look, the stranger it becomes. Given to Armand Gamache as a gift the first day of his new job, the map eventually leads him to shattering secrets. To an old friend and older adversary. It leads the former Chief of Homicide for the Sûreté du Québec to places even he is afraid to go. But must. And there he finds four young cadets in the Sûreté academy, and a dead professor. And, with the body, a copy of the old, odd map.
