About this listen

Lighthearted 1920s cozy mysteries with a cast of unique and quirky characters tackling mysteries in country estates, villages, and the bright lights of the roaring twenties.

House Party Murder Rap: Two people have been targeted. Shots have been fired. Who stands to inherit? Who has the most to lose? Evangeline "Evie" Parker, Countess of Woodridge, thinks it's nothing but an accident, but then an attempt is made on her host's life. Suddenly, all the guests attending the Duke of Hetherington's house party think they are being targeted. Who will be next? Evie and her new chauffeur form an unlikely alliance to discover as much as they can before the killer can get it right.

Murder at the Tea Party: Warning: Afternoon tea with Lady Woodridge can be fatal. Evie has her hands full trying to keep the name of Woodridge free of scandal, as well as mending fences with her maid Caro. No easy task when one of her afternoon tea guests is poisoned. Is it a coincidence when another guest is found dead from poison?

Narrator much better than the writing

The heroine has potential for being an interesting and well-developed character, but lacks any evidence of self reflection, while being self-centered in the extreme. The writing is uneven at best, annoying at worst. The possible attraction between Evie and Tom is telegraphed too early, and in any event lacks believability. The actual mystery and suspense aspect moves forward in fits and starts, interrupted by the tedious interplay of the main characters. I couldn't finish it, and can't recommend.

nice little story

I got lost some times, but it still was a nice little story. As always, Pearl Hewitt excels is reading and gives the book the charm.

Too much standing on Ceremony....

Unfortunately, the most interesting character is the chauffeur, BUT NOT enough to keep me interested. Disappointed too, as I see there are many books in the series and was looking forward to tucking in. Just can't take all the pomp and circumstance.

Don't bother

I can't understand the high reviews for these stories or the narrator. The stories were tedious, written in a phony, wooden style and full of boring pomp that wasn't needed. The characters were one-dimensional, especially the heroine. She was vapid and insipid. With all her privilege and money, she seemed to have almost no real interests in life except food and clothes. Here and there she might read something and talked about wanting a dog, but none of this ever went anywhere. I couldn't wait for the stories to end. It was also very easy to guess the solutions to the crimes.

The narrator did her best with the material but often mixed up her accents, and had a strange way of clearing her throat and chuckling for the characters that didn't seem real at all.
