About this listen

Broken Heart is a captivating 1920s English murder mystery set in the quaint village of Ralston.

In the quiet and seemingly idyllic village of Ralston, secrets lie hidden beneath the surface, and love is a dangerous game. Kerry Bumbry, a young and spirited parlor maid, finds herself drawn to Albert Briles, a penniless yet charming gentleman. Their secret romance unfolds under the cover of night, filled with passion, tension, and the constant threat of discovery.

Albert Briles, a man with a sharp wit and a melancholic heart, lives off the charity of his sister, Caroline Briles, who works at the grand Thatched House. Caroline's relationship with the household's mistress, Mrs. Grace, is strained and complex. Mrs. Grace, an invalid with a fragile constitution, becomes the center of a mysterious and tragic event that changes the lives of everyone in the village.

On a chilly May night, Mrs. Grace indulges in a plate of early strawberries, a gift from the well-meaning but sharp-tongued Miss Prince. What seems like a harmless treat leads to her sudden and unexpected death. Dr. Finn, the village doctor, is called upon to uncover the truth behind her demise. His investigation reveals a tangled web of deceit, loyalty, and unspoken desires, particularly focusing on the enigmatic Caroline Briles and her complicated relationship with Harry Grace, the village's beloved cricketer and employer.

As the story unfolds, readers are drawn into a world where the line between right and wrong blurs, and where love and ambition can lead to the most unforeseen consequences. Broken Heart is a tale of forbidden love, hidden agendas, and the relentless pursuit of truth in a village where everyone has something to hide.

Immerse yourself in this atmospheric and richly detailed murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. With its vivid characters and intricate plot, Broken Heart is a must-read for fans of classic English mystery novels.
