About this listen

Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry.

Wedding bells are ringing in the picturesque village of Bunburry with the community coming together in joyful celebration. But the festive atmosphere takes a dark turn when the home of Rakesh Choudhury, the respected owner of Bunburry's popular Indian restaurant, is viciously attacked. As whispers of racism ripple through the tight-knit community, tensions rise. Who could have committed such a heinous act? Is the attack a targeted hate crime, or is something more sinister at play? There is an official police investigation, but amateur sleuth Alfie McAlister believes there are other jealousies and hidden grudges at play. Is he the only one who can uncover the truth?

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 audiobooks to his credit, ranging from the classics of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy to more modern writings and children's books.

Well written. Extremely well read with Parker's remarkable voicing of each character's nuance. Stories are complex with mystery and murder while filled with witty and intriguing human experiences. And complicated love scenarios of course.
Very enjoyable.

MOST ENJOYABLE SERIES! Read in order to follow the thread

I was originally afraid Ms. Marchmont had ended the series with so long after Book 17. I was thrilled when Book 18 came out! I listen to these books, so it was a long wait for the audiobook after that. SO GLAD for it to arrive. Alfie and Emma are happily living together, but someone has it in for their Indian friends. Help solving the crimes comes from unexpected sources, with humor and charm. Delighted #19 is already out there, hoping the audio doesn't take as long this time!

So delightful to return!

This story felt weird. I felt like it was trying to hit every hot topic of the day in a casual way and the story just missed the mark for me. It felt really disjointed. I read to escape from the drama of current affairs so it just wasn't for me. Narrator was excellent, as always.

Weird, meh.

I love yoga and enjoyed the focus this story brought to it. But I’ve listened to every book in this series and this was the weak link! Was very anti climactic and didnt have any twists or turns. Hope the next installment is better and gets a bit more about the mystery vs just banter between the characters
