Publisher's summary

Fans of Agatha Raisin, Miss Marple, and Midsomer Murders are loving the latest English village sleuth.

When a climber suspiciously falls to his death and a local artist has her dog stolen, both cases fall into the lap of local sleuth, Patricia Fisher...and so starts an adventure that will see her travel the world.

Far from being your average woman, Patricia Fisher lives in a 73-room manor house and travels with a Jamaican butler who is part ninja and fakes his Downton Abbey accent. How these things came about is a story in itself, yet far from embracing the quiet English village life - playing croquet on the lawn and eating cucumber sandwiches - Patricia pokes her nose where it is most definitely not wanted and finds herself being shot at rather more often than one ought reasonably to expect.

But as she closes in on the bad guys in each case, it’s clear there is someone operating in the background, someone who has taken offence for crimes previously solved and they plan on getting revenge at any cost. Join her and an enticing cast of friends as they tackle mystery after mystery and get into hot water with criminals, gangsters, and the police. What Sam Knew is the first in a follow-on series from Patricia’s successful Cruise Mystery series Books in that series:

  • The Missing Sapphire of Zangrabar
  • The Kidnapped Bride
  • The Director’s Cut
  • The Couple in Cabin 2124
  • Dr Death
  • Murder on the Dancefloor
  • Mission for the Maharaja
  • A Sleuth and Her Dachshund in Athens
  • The Maltese Parrot
  • No Place Like Home

Why an American narrator?

I don’t understand why an American narrator is reading a British mystery series. The accents are not there or over the top. In the last book she had Swedish accents for Swiss characters? It was most annoying. Love the writing though, the stories are great!

Narrator

I wish I could afford to hire a narrator to redo the series. I’m on the first book, but having enjoyed the Patricia Fisher Cruise series, I’m trying to muddle through. The narrator is absolutely atrocious. Her inflections and sing songy voice almost make listening unbearable.

Poor narration

The stories were good once I got past the incredibly poor narration. In the last two books I actually laughed out loud at something that happened in to story. If you can get past the narration they actually are pretty good books.

Jane . . . Jane Bond

I raised two boys and knew immediately a man wrote this when the Aston Martin, Spidee and Porsche made an appearance. What a fun ride with Patricia Fisher. Loved the explosions and characters. Can’t wait to find out what the Godmother — excellent choice to use “Godmother” by the way - is up to next. Raising a gin glass to this writer!

Worst performance reading

Where did the performance reader learn English? Such a strange stilted style of pronouncing words and such horrible accents. I’ve enjoyed these before with a different reader

I listen to all 5

At first I was put off by the voice of the narrator, I got used to it. The books weren’t anything special but I was entertained and that’s the point with this type of story.

Perhaps a new performer?

The performer struggles with accents. She started out sounding very American and gradually came to sound as though she was studying Julie Andrews tapes. Has trouble bringing authenticity of sound to male characters. Swiss nationals all sound like the Swedish Chef. Difficult to take the story seriously when many of the characters sound like muppets. The Chef began creeping into British characters' dialogue. The stories are fine. Got a kick out of the Tempest Michaels crossovers.

I want more

I loved every story. I was glued to my device trying to see if I solved the crime. I would love to see these made for TV. I'm hooked
