About this listen

’Till death do us part may come sooner than they thought....

The year 1934. Kitty Underhay steps out of the battered Rolls Royce and onto the graveled driveway of Thurscomb Castle in deepest Yorkshire. She’s honored to be a bridesmaid at her cousin Lucy’s wedding to the reluctant Lord Rupert Woodcomb, but as family and friends gather for welcome drinks, Kitty dodges intrusive questions about her own marital status by taking a stroll about the castle grounds. As she passes through the manicured gardens, a fatal shot rings out....

The valet, Evans, is dead. And Kitty can’t help but notice how rattled the man standing next to him seems. Could Rupert’s best man, The Right Honorable Alexander "Sandy" Galsworthy, believe the speeding bullet was meant for him?

When she discovers that Sandy has been receiving blackmail notes, Kitty suspects that one of the assembled guests has plans to make good on their threats. The local constabulary won’t act on Kitty’s hunch, so, busy with her bridesmaid’s duties, she asks her beau, ex-army captain Matthew Bryant, to help.

The ceremony passes without a hitch. But when an anxious Sandy slips away during the dancing, Matt follows, only to make a hideous discovery: Sandy is dead, flattened on the terrace by some falling masonry.

Now the duo are sure that there is a murderer within the castle walls. But can they untangle Sandy’s final hours and catch this killer before they strike again, or will the wedding bells be replaced by a death knell for Kitty herself?

A completely charming cozy historical Golden Age murder mystery! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey, and Lee Strauss.

The Miss Underhay Mystery series was previously narrated by Alex Tregear, who is now beginning a new adventure as she trains to be an occupational therapist.

good but disappointed

The story was good. However I'm very disappointed that the narrator is narrator is different than the last 7 books. It really changes the entire layout. She talked way too fast and just didn't have the same personality that I have come to love in all of that series.

The writer had me guessing.....

I am sure there are others who could guess the "Who did it", but it eluded me!

New narrator

The new narrator is very hard to follow. Kitty and Matt sound way too much alike now. I often thought that one of them was speaking and then the other one would enter the room and I’d realize I had it backwards. Kitty also sounds way too pretentious now.

Narrator change should be noted

I love this series, and after 6 books I got accustomed to hearing each character and their uniqueness expressed by the narrator. But I was surprised to find that the narrator for book 7 changed, and found it hard at some points to distinguish each character from the other. I really hope the narration will get better with next books or else bring the old narrator back; either way; Audible should put a warning when narrators of long series change.

Interesting story

Agree with the other reviewers, story is interesting, narrator awful. Kitty went from a sweet young thing to an old posh lady. Not the same Kitty as the prior readings.

I miss the previous reader

While I do appreciate the need for the previous narrator to move on in her life, I miss her voice in these stories. Dear Polly doesn’t give Kitty a feminine voice, nor does she give some statements the tone needed for dramatic emphasis.
I wish her the best in future readings. I hopefully we can all get used to the voices performed.

Awful narration

Loved the first few titles of this series but this narrator was a terrible choice.

Don’t care for the new narrator

I enjoyed the new setting and the introduction of new characters in this story but the new narrator makes Kitty sound like such a snob. Her and Matt both sound like upper class snobs and not the genuine lovable people I have come to know in this series. Disappointing.

Another Great story in the series

another great story in the series! this one I have to say, had accents that drove me nuts! so many of the British novels that include American characters have people who are clearly not American with ridiculous mock accents. that really made me almost stop listening to the book. The character calliope's accent.... wow! not good either. I much prefer the former narrator for Kitty's character. Matt's character sound ed as though it was someone different too and it wasn't as favorable to me.
thankfully the story was great as always and I'm glad I continue to listen!
