Betty is the worst

I really don’t understand the appeal in Betty. She is such a downer. Other than her, the characters are great, and the story is wonderful.

Alfi.. messes up

This latest story in the series has been the most interesting to me. My only complaint about this series is that the secondary characters except for Oscar and Liz are not very likable and some do not even seem sane (the Sargeant etc.). Betty as a potential GF is too self-involved and angry to be any comfort or foil for the issues that Alfi is facing. She thrives on her one-track understanding of life and world view which alienates others in this small town....easier to bully than in a big city. If the series continues, I hope there will be some more palatable characters in them. While I dearly love the intro/exit music to the Cheringham series, I don't like the music to this series, it doesn't seem to fit. But all in all, I am enjoying the series, especially the English locale, Alfi, and his friend Oscar (AKA Land the Butler). Highly appreciate that it's clean, smart, and fun. Excellent narrator and sound quality.

One of the Best of the Series

This story may be the best yet in the series. More sober, with complicated relationships and disappointments, while still retaining some of the humor. Good job!!

I love this series of English mysteries, utilizing old English culture with modern day technology. I can just wrap my imagination around these clear, detailed descriptions. please never stop.

One of the best in the series so far!

My only complaint listening to Audible on my Android phone, is "download failure" periodically, pausing the ability to listen/play. After closing the app, it starts up again--but it happens frequently during the Bunberry episodes. All other series work fine.

Love this!!!!

I love all the Bunberry books but I really love this one for some reason. Nathaniel Parker is so wonderful with all of the voices. Sometimes I try to imagine him speaking a certain voice and that cracks me up too. 🤣
