A Long Day in Lychford is the third audiobook in Paul Cornell's increasingly popular Witches of Lychford series.
It's a period of turmoil in Britain, with the country's politicians electing to remove the UK from the European Union, despite ever-increasing evidence that the public no longer supports it. And the small town of Lychford is suffering. But what can three rural witches do to guard against the unknown? And why are unwary hikers being led over the magical borders by their smartphones' mapping software? And is the immigration question really important enough to kill for?

For me, this was the best installment yet in the Lychford series. The examination of British nationalism in the wake of the Brexit vote was thoughtfully handled without preachiness. The story explored what it's like for people of color to feel like outsiders in their own nation, never sure if they are truly accepted. Cornell also offered a unique supernatural take on how a meeting of minds can lead to better understanding.
I wrote in my Lost Child of Lychford review that the magic became so inscrutable it was too often incomprehensible. Cornell did a better job here making the witches' magic chaotic and mysterious while still leaving me able to follow the story.
A skillful blend of magic with social commentary

Unfortunately, this story is blighted by some pretty awful narrating this time around. The previous two narrators were so good, I didn't even notice they weren't the same person until I wrote this review. Book 3s narrator lacked all the finesse and charm of the previous two, and brought to the table an obnoxious accent that was a mix between Irish and Cockney. This made what was previously a super engaging series very hard to listen to for extended periods. narratively speaking this is a great book, but I really hope Audible is more selective when choosing who reads the fourth book.
an excellent story marred by abysmal narrating
