About this listen

Bookshop owner and amateur detective Flora Steele teams up with handsome crime writer Jack Carrington to unravel a curious murder in the village of Abbeymead!

Sussex, 1956: When Flora and her partner in crime solving, Jack, arrive at the charming church of St Saviour’s, the last thing they’re expecting to find is the curate, Lyle Beaumont, lifeless on the flagstone floor beneath the bell tower, with a mysterious note in his hand.

Flora is dismayed to find the poor curate dead. But she can’t help being intrigued by the eclectic mix of bell ringers present at the old church–Mr. Preece, the local butcher, Dilys Fuller, the busybody postmistress, and Stephen Henshall, a newcomer to the closeknit community. Any one of them could be the culprit–and Flora needs to act fast before someone gets away with murder....

When Flora and Jack begin their sleuthing, they quickly realize all is not what it seems with the victim, and the certainty of the dead man’s identity becomes the first twist in the investigation.

Just as they’re getting closer to the answer, the death of one of the suspects changes everything. As a series of unexplained accidents unfolds across the village, it seems no one who was present at the church on the night of the curate’s demise is safe.

Has the bell tolled on Flora and Jack’s detective days? And will they work out the truth in time to save themselves?

A completely addictive cozy crime novel set in the fictional Sussex village of Abbeymead. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin, and Joy Ellis!

I like the structure of the story and the relationship development between Flora and Jack! I enjoy listening on long walks or as I do a household chore! Suggest that you read in order of the series!!

Cozy Mystery

Another great mystery but not at close attention to ALL the characters. This one has many twists and turns. Bring on the next one. ❤️

Pay attention

I found myself having difficulty keeping up with all the characters. At the end when the killer was identified, I still wasn't sure how all the players fit together. I still enjoyed the book and am happy the relationship between Flora and Jack finally moved forward.

Least favorite of the series

I still love this series, but I felt this one drug a bit in the middle. I would like to have seen the two main characters interact more, and I got mixed up with the names. I still bought the next two in the series

Drug a little

Not all can be truly terrific for all the right reasons. Despite a sweet interesting story/who-done-it, the story got a bit lost in all the extremely destructive events /with heroes walking away with no med attention, plus fire, father, and more unshared w police. Why didn’t they realize what the book was for? I resent when a very minor character was only discovered at the end like this. (Trying hard to not include spoilers!)
Hopefully the next will be great again!

Very good series book

I was hoping for more romance from Flora and Jack. I’ve been following these to since the first book. Not anything too racket. I know it’s a murder mystery, but all these cliff hangers are causing me anxiety. I know it’s just a book for some, but the characters become part of us. Please consider your fans whenever you write your next series books.

I expected more

One of the things I enjoy moss about reading mysteries is following the clues, seeing in the end how the mystery is resolved and everything makes sense in a way meaningful to the story. This one wasn’t super interesting, then the killer suddenly outs themself and the case is closed. Disappointing and definitely not as good as others in this series.

Sudden simplistic tie-up
