About this listen

Kitty Underhay is riding a carousel...with death.

Summer 1935. Enjoying a belated honeymoon visiting her new husband Matt’s family in the rolling Yorkshire hills, Kitty strolls through a village fair. But when Kitty persuades Matt to visit the fortune teller’s tent, the lovebirds are shocked to find the body of Madame Zaza slumped over her crystal ball, pearl necklace askew and a half-drunk cup of tea at her elbow.

After predicting so many of the villagers’ misfortunes, how did she not foresee her own murder? From a pompous old colonel to a reticent reverend and a dodgy village doctor, Kitty soon feels like half the village had a motive for murder. But with more suspects than tarot cards, she and Matt are no closer to finding the culprit.

Madame Zaza had been a part of community’s life for decades, and discovering a photograph album of the villagers through the years gives Kitty and Matt the breakthrough they’ve been searching for. Kitty is soon hot on the killer’s trail when her sleuthing puts her in terrible danger. Will her lucky stars align, or is her lifeline about to run out?

An utterly sensational and addictive Golden Age murder mystery. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey, and Lee Strauss.

Great narration

Plot was great. I expected the hideous figurine to have a camera inside. I was wrong!

Highly Suspenseful

This is beautiful. Very well thought out and very well written. For me, it wasn’t “who did it”, but rather “WHY”??? I enjoyed the surrounding stories as well. A whole host of new characters in another town made the story very good.

Another wonderful story!

I just love Kitty and Matt and their extraordinary adventures. It’s always kind of sad when the book is finished but the anticipation just begins again for the next wonderful tale!!

Always a fun story

I just love the light hearted stories and generally happy endings of this series. I also loved
Rhys Bowen’s series and on the search for my next one…

My least favorite story but still enjoyable

I've mentioned before that the narrator sounds much the same when it's Matt and the now Chief Inspector. It's frustrating to have to wait for context clues to know who is talking. In this book, Matt's Aunt always sounded like a man, so I was confused a few times as to who was speaking.
The person who ended up being the killer had a kind of twisted reasoning and I couldn't find it believable. Other than that, it was the usual enjoyable cosy mystery set in the mid 1930's!
