Cottages, English roses and rolling hills: that's Earlsraven. When Nathalie unexpectedly inherits her aunt's cosy inn "Black Feather", she also falls heir to her secret double life and discovers that sleuthing runs in the family.

This compilation contains episodes 1-3:

THE ART OF LYING

There are only two possibilities: either dear old Miss Beresford from Earlsraven is suffering from dementia or there's something fishy going on at her house! But when she discovers a dead body in her garden, Nathalie and her cook Louise start to investigate.

THE FINAL WORDS OF IAN O'SHELLEY

When the famous writer Ian O'Shelley is found dead in his cottage, Nathalie starts to look into the case. She discovers that the writer was a man with many secrets. But while Nathalie is investigating O'Shelley's past, her personal life is falling apart - all because of her move to Earlsraven.

BLUE POODLE BLUES

Scandal at the dog show! Sir Theodore's three King Poodles have been dyed blue! Sir Theodore loudly accuses the organiser, Mason Mayfield - and when he is found murdered, Sir Theodore is the prime suspect. Nathalie is convinced of his innocence and sets out to find the real killer.

The reality of the main character. Very likeable.

Great narration! A new favorite series. I wish though they’d get their own musical prelude and not the same as Cherringham’s. Obviously not a big deal 😊

Perfect mindlessness

Silly me for not reading the reviews. While not actually dreadful, this was a remarkably ditzy tale. Really? Secret agents in the kitchen, cracking cases by consulting a gossip diary? Because the local constable was kind but too stupid to solve crimes? There were endless passages about food orders, furniture, and dithers over an unlikeable boyfriend. Other than a brief prologue, the mystery didn't appear until past the halfway point, whereupon it was guessable from the moment it was presented. And the method used for the crime was pointlessly complicated, proving the crook was as dimwitted as the rest of this fluff. Pass. Only listened to the first story.

Silly premise, silly plot, silly me...
