About this listen

When the crime scene is pure coincidence and there's no evidence, how do you prove it was murder?

Ella Bridges faces her most challenging investigation so far when the vicar dies suddenly at the May Day Fete. But with evidence scarce and her personal life unraveling in ways she could never have imagined, she misses vital clues in the investigation.

Working alongside Sergeant Baxter of Scotland Yard, will Ella manage to unearth the clues needed to catch the killer before another life is lost? Or will personal shock cloud her mind and result in another tragedy?

Before we get to that, there wasn't that much of a paranormal factor that I could tell. Another case of a victim appearing as a ghost and a couple of special guest appearances by Phantom, the ghost cat. I grew to like one character but unfortunately, it was clear that was it for the person.

Granted, it hadn't been stated that Ella was Anglican, or at least not a Catholic, but one could draw that inference well enough. Two years after moving to the island, she enters its only Catholic church for the first time, shocklingly 'lapsed' for the 1930's if she were RC. Immediately, she becomes part of the parish life, though no mention of her attending services. Her visiting Aunt Margaret even helps out at the church fete! At that time, there would have been almost no social interaction between Catholic and Protestant residents, even today it'd be a bit unusual. Moreover, later a devout member casually mentions her divorce! Had it been a C of E parish, one could easily accept the story, but the RC choice calls for total suspension of disbelief.

Glaring anachronism

Just could not keep my interest, listened to the end hoping the tempo would improve was good to fill the silence at home and put me to sleep at night. I do hope the final book in this series is better. I do enjoy the narrator if not for her I would not have listened to the end.

Such a change from the 1st two
