Anyone with a taste for murder with a British twist will stand in line to listen to this riveting audiobook by internationally acclaimed author Sharyn McCrumb. Laced with biting wit, humor, and a delightful helping of irony, Missing Susan carries listeners on a holiday filled with potentially lethal adventure.
When Rowan Rover is offered $50,000 to murder a woman on his September Mystery Tour, he is surprised to find himself accepting the offer. The thought of committing murder chills him, until he meets the beautiful Susan Cohen. After days of listening to her nonstop chatter, with insults tossed in every direction, Rowan reaches a startling conclusion: she is someone he would like to kill. And he is not alone. Can MacPherson prevent the murder, or will she unwittingly aid in a deadly accident?

In MacPherson's Lament, family troubles in Virginia spin out of control, forcing Elizabeth to leave her adopted Scotland to sort out the multiplying problems.

But when he takes on a realtor's job - selling an antebellum mansion for eight elderly daughters of Confederate veterans - he only earns criminal charges.

Enjoyable listen and lots of droll comedy
I have trouble getting into books sometimes, but this one hooked me from the start. The hapless tour guide and the American tourists he took around England had some unforgettable moments. Loved the dark comedy. I'll definitely be reading more by this author.

Great fun!
I had so much fun listening to this! A historically and literally accurate tour through southern England, and a bit of Wales, made for perfect armchair travel, and the great Barbara Rosenblatt's jaunty narration matches McCrumb's witty story perfectly. This is light, but good quality, entertainment.

Anyone who has taken a package tour can relate.
This book is the 6th in a series of books featuring Elizabeth MacPherson. Like all of the early McCrumbs this book has a biting wit and sharp humor. I love all of McCrumb's early books while like all human beings she has grown in skill and outlook, the fine bones of her work are here. These books have all of the wit and character of her magnificent ballad novels.
I love all of them. They are set in the late eighties and early nineties. This book opens with Elizabeth and her marine biologist husband Cameron, settled in Edinburgh and trying to negotiate a two job marriage. Elizabeth is a forensic anthropologist Cameron is a little concerned about the circumstances that would require Elizabeth's services. She cannot find a job and doesn't want to wait alone for Cameron to come back from his ocean going seal research. Elizabeth decides to take a packaged Mystery Tour which will visit some of the more colorful sites of Victorian crimes. Jack the Ripper is mentioned. What could go wrong?
Elizabeth's forensics skills are not required. But everyone who has been on a plane, a train, especially a tour bus trapped next to someone who talks without cease and only about themselves can contemplate, at least for a moment, murder. The fact that an expert in crime is trying to do just that and keeps missing is not however acceptable.

LEARN TO PRONOUNCE APPALACHIAN
I'm surprised Sharon McCrumb allowed the reader to mispronounce APPALACHIAN. She, like other residents is a stickler for the proper pronunciation. I would have enjoyed the performance better if the narrator had been informed earlier of the correct pronunciation of APPALACHIAN.
