About this listen

The honeymoon was an accident—but the dead body isn’t. Angela Marchmont is back for a new adventure!

Not-quite-newlywed Angela Marchmont is having a belated honeymoon on the idyllic Greek island of Rhodes, but has barely even unpacked her bathing-suit before an unwelcome encounter with the dead body of a young archaeologist draws her into a tangled web of murder and blackmail.

Everyone thinks Roy Cavell drowned accidentally, but after receiving a cryptic note under her door Angela isn’t so sure. Cavell had fallen in love with his employer’s beautiful wife Sophia Delisi, leaving a heartbroken fiancée behind him and creating tensions up at the local archaeological dig. Mrs. Delisi is thought to bring bad luck: superstition has it that any man who gets close to her dies. Was Cavell the latest victim of the curse? But then why has someone been searching his luggage? Who is signalling from up at the acropolis? And why is somebody trying to put Angela out of the way?

When a second body turns up Angela becomes even more determined to find out the truth—despite the additional complications of a rival detective she can’t shake off, a would-be blackmailer who knows the secrets of her past life, and a husband she’d trust more if only he didn’t keep disappearing in the middle of the night.

Investigating a murder wasn’t in Angela's plans, but if she wants to survive her honeymoon she has no choice.

Excellent

Not sure if this the the last in this series or if there will still be more. I would live a spin-off with her daughter grown up! Great narration. Going to go to Freddie’s series now

An Enjoyable Cozy

Satisfying continuation of the story of Angela and Edgar. Hope there will be more stories with Freddie as well.

Angela is back

I very much enjoyed this new installment in the adventures of Angela Marchmont. I assume that the book would be enjoyable to readers new to the series, but I feel that I found it a much more rich experience having read and/or listened to all 10 of her previous novels as well as a number of short stories and when she pops up in her friend Freddy's spin off series.

And I would LOVE to vacation or honeymoon at this delightful location (if the dead bodies would stay away). An enjoyable vacation novel, combined with a honeymoon novel, combined with a murder mystery, and watching the further development of the relationship between Angela and her new(ish) husband Edgar, a somewhat reformed professional thief.

The prose is clean and easy to follow, Elizabeth Klett does a fine job of reading the story. Recommended, to those who enjoy pseudo Golden Age mysteries, and a must for those who have been following Angela for years.

Another Angela March month success

I enjoyed see Angela and Edgar teaming up a bit to solve this. but of course Angela does most of the heavy lifting. Hoping for another!

Another episode of a good series. Interesting twist, good narration, and loved the setting. Recommend as a good summer listen.
