Francis Pettigrew travels to Exmoor for a holiday with his wife - an area in which as a young boy he was traumatized by coming across a dead body on the moor. In an attempt to exorcise this trauma, Pettigrew walks across the moor to the place where the incident occurred - only to find another dead body. Moreover, when he returns to the scene with the police, the body is gone. Did he really see a body, or is it a hallucination conjured up by his return to the scene of the crime that has haunted him since childhood? In Untimely Death, Cyril Hare conjures up an intriguing puzzle whose twists and turns will keep listeners on the edge of their seats until the final surprising resolution.

I’m really enjoying this author, his mysteries are engaging but not overly complicated. Can’t wait to read my next one.

Great little English mystery

I’ve never listened to a mystery that was constructed quite like this one. Francis Pettigrew is now retired. The policeman – someone he has known in previous books – is now retired, too. As the story opens, Pettigrew and his wife are on vacation. The actual detection work doesn’t even get started until the final few chapters – and it’s largely done by other characters. But give it time. Let it unfold. You won’t be disappointed.

I start every Chris MacDonnell recording kinda-sorta wishing it was someone else at the mic. But after a couple of chapters that feeling evaporates.

Be Patient, it’s Worth It

This is the 3rd book of Cyril hare that I have listened to. I’m only saddened to learn there aren’t any more.. I hope Audible will or Tantel will find it worth while to produce more books and engage Chris Macdonnell as the narrator…he is-superb.
