About this listen

How well do you ever really know your neighbors?

During the five years Rosemary has lived next door to Dr. Redberry and his wife, they've barely exchanged more than occasional pleasantries. So when she starts hearing raised voices through the adjoining townhouse walls, she can only guess that their marriage is in trouble.

It's none of Rosemary's business, so she pretends not to notice, but when she sees Mrs. Redberry sobbing uncontrollably she can't simply turn a blind eye.

Somehow, Rosemary ends up attending her best friend, actress Vera Blackburn's latest play alongside the couple--and it turns out to be more enjoyable than she'd expected.

Unfortunately, no good deed goes unpunished, and when a dead body turns up in Dr. Redberry's dental chair, she finds herself being pulled even further into her neighbor's affairs--and cursing her soft heart!

The only thing is, she and her friends are supposed to be leaving for a holiday in sunny Cyprus--not sifting through evidence a stone's throw from home.

With romantic feelings for her late husband's best mate, detective Max Whittington, bubbling to the surface, nobody needs to get away as much as Rosemary does!

Yet, she can't escape the visceral need to see justice served, so sun and sand will have to wait as this lady detective takes the case of the murder next door.

Book two in The Mrs. Lillywhite Investigates series.

Are you ready to escape to the roaring twenties? For fans of Beth Byers, Leighann Dobbs, Lee Strauss, and cozy historical murder mysteries.

A light, cozy mystery with no swearing, graphic scenes, or cliffhangers.

A Roaring Twenties Murder Mystery

I enjoyed book 2 of the "Mrs. Lillywhite Investigates" series as much as the first one. Rosemary was planning on visiting Cyprus for a vacation until she was dragged into the affairs of her neighbors. I enjoyed the historical element that flowed through the story. I liked the characters as they were personable. I thought the clues were woven skillfully throughout the tale. Caren Naess' narration was entertaining, and her performance enhanced my enjoyment of the story. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Enjoyable cozy mystery

I listened to this book as an audiobook. I really enjoyed the narrator. She had a lovely accent that fits in with the British setting!

This is the second book in the series. I’m getting to know the main characters. The writing is easy to get into. It is clean writing with no swearing or anything graphic detailed.

The plot is easy to follow along with and was very engaging. Always fun to read a cozy murder mystery and try to figure things out.

If you like this time period, this is a pleasant & easily immersive read. Very interesting about the dental office and how they worked on teeth back then!

I am looking forward to the next book!
