Publisher's summary

Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this new series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry.

It's party time in Bunburry! The deluxe Magnolia Inn is hosting surprise birthday celebrations for Bunburry's favourite senior citizens, Liz and Marge. But the party is not the only surprise. A glamorous widow, Francesca Fairfax Adams, is staying in the Magnolia Inn, and catches the eye of self-made man and amateur sleuth Alfie McAlister.

But Alfie's best friend, Oscar de Linnet, down from London for the party, knows Francesca of old, and has some shocking news about her. Alfie is reluctant to believe him and decides to discover the truth for himself ... Is this investigation putting himself and Oscar in terrible danger?

Nathaniel Parker, born in 1962, graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company. His television career began in 1988 when he played Flying Officer 'Flash' Gordon in the LWT mini-series Piece of Cake. He is also the lead in the BBC series The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, based on the novels by Elizabeth George. Nathaniel Parker has an extensive list of audio books to his credit, ranging from the classics of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy to more modern writings and children's books.

Great Story

I really enjoy the Bunburry Series. Nice short stories. The character developments have been awesome. By the time you get to this book the workings of Bunburry Triangle and now adding the Bunburry Irregulars is awesome. This has such a great twist.
Always love the actual appearance of Oscar.

Pure pleasure

These little stories are so enjoyable -- characters deep enough to care about without entire psychological histories, plots that hold together, believable dialog. Also, a needed break from so much contemporary fiction that is all about horror, doom and cruelty. Hope this will be a long series.

A really top notch story.

One of the best in this delicious, funny, smart and endearing series. Narration is always spot on. I just can't get enough of this series. I hope it never ends.

Does not disappoint

I was so happy to see the next Bunbury story had been released! This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series on Audible. I miss the well drawn characters when the short novels are over. My only complaint is that they aren’t longer. Lol.
Nathaniel Parker’s narration is spot on in my opinion. He is one of my favorite narrators also.
I am impatiently awaiting the next installment!
