Publisher's summary

From the authors of the best-selling series CHERRINGHAM.

When heart-throb American tennis coach Todd Winters careens off the road in his speeding car one night and plunges in the river, it seems like a tragic accident. But Winters was a young man with many dangerous secrets, and Harry and Kat discover there's no shortage of people who wanted him out of the picture. Soon they discover clear evidence: the accident was no accident at all. And now Harry and Kat had best be careful too... even in the genteel world of the Mydworth Lawn Tennis Club, a desperate murderer could be ready to kill again.

Nathaniel Parker, born in 1962, graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company. His television career began in 1988 when he played Flying Officer 'Flash' Gordon in the LWT mini-series "Piece of Cake". He is also the lead in the BBC series "The Inspector Lynley Mysteries", based on the novels by Elizabeth George. Nathaniel Parker has an extensive list of audio books to his credit, ranging from the classics of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy to more modern writings and children's books.

Agatha + Keith Always A Good Time

It is hard to go wrong with an MC Beaton story, especially when read by the marvelous Penelope Keith. I hope R.G. Green can continue Beaton’s characters, but he has VERY large shows to fill! Marion Chesney was so very talented and prolific. Agatha Raisin (& co), Hamish MacBeth, and the Poor Relations all over great story lines and well-drawn characters. I will miss them all.

Good As Always

Fun and adventurous! It’s always good and I enjoy the story lines! Mydworth has become a regular addition to my rotation, I’m always happy when a new book is released.

Mediocre Mystery - Decent Performance

The story is mediocre, but Parker usually elevates the material with his talent. His UK Dialect
work is always exemplary and he creates vivid and wonderful performances with his voice acting. My only criticism with his Dialect work is related to his American Dialects. He needs to work on the American Dialect. He makes very plebian mistakes and for someone with his abilities it's kind of odd.

The spark is back!

I was worried, but this installment is back on track! Very exciting and engaging. The town of Mydworth is hotbed of mystery. Love the characters too!

Another entertaining installment

Very quick moving plot with enough twists and red herrings to keep you guessing to the end. Good narration. Can’t wait for the next!
