On a cold, dark February morning, Chris and Leah Hills stop for coffee at an isolated service station a stone’s throw from the Welsh Borders. While Leah heads inside, Chris locks the car and goes in to order their drinks. She shouldn’t be long - after all, they’ve only stopped to stretch their legs. Minutes pass. Chris waits and waits, but Leah doesn’t come back. When Sergeant Mel Daley and her boss, Detective Inspector Harry Baker, arrive to begin a search for the missing woman, their investigation calls everything into question.

Sintesi dell'editore
A game of charades ends in coldblooded murder in this entertaining cozy mystery - third in the Crime with the Classics series.
Having finished transforming Windy Corner, the grand Victorian mansion she inherited from her great aunt, into a writers’ retreat, widowed literature professor Emily Cavanaugh is ready to receive her first set of guests. But her careful planning is thrown into disarray by the unexpected arrival of outrageous true-crime writer, Cruella Crime, whose unpardonably rude behavior is causing great offence.
As a ferocious ice storm rages outside, the guests entertain one another with a game of charades. But their revelries are brought to a sudden halt by the discovery of a body in one of the guest bedrooms. When it transpires the victim was poisoned, Emily decides to take a leaf out of the book of her favorite detective writer, Agatha Christie, and investigate. But as she pursues her inquiries, it becomes chillingly clear that she herself may have been the intended victim …

Disappointed
I was listening along and getting involved when foul language started to happen. Reviews had said it was clean so I quit listening.

Sickeningly Sweet Mystery
Although I enjoyed this book, I also found it annoying. Emily's character is unrealistic and too sentimental. The plot is interesting, but, I wish Emily was more realistic. Caroline Shaffer is great narrator and got me through it to the end. I'm not sure if I can stomach the next book.

Good Cozy Mystery
I did figure it out, but it kept me guessing awhile. Enjoyable characters with just enough development of each to "see" them in my minds eye without boaring my with details. I like that!

Ok since it was free
This is just ok. The writing was mediocre, but this worked sufficiently as background while I was cleaning.
I actually enjoyed that some more “modern” characters were sympathetically presented with strong individual morals, while being non-judgmental to others. At least I liked the idea, because the characterization was inexpertly done. Kudos for trying though.
Heads up- do not look for anything but the most superficial Christie references. They were a few, but they seemed to be clumsily inserted in order to justify the title.
Give it a try since it’s free. You probably won’t love it but you probably won’t hate it, either.

Satisfying book
As a book lover and a writer myself, this was a dream to read. The setting is a writer's getaway. I was excited at all the book references the characters used among themselves and I was proud of myself that I knew most if not all the references. The twists and turns were good, I knew who the murderer was a little bit before the end but so did the characters so it didn't feel like they were dense. And oh my gosh, I LOVE the reader's voice! It's so relaxing and her accents/impressions for the different characters are so good!!
The only thing I didn't like about this story was that the love interest was pressuring the main character into marriage. Granted, she was having trouble committing and had dragged on their relationship for some time, and should have made a decision, but nevertheless a person has to do it in their own time, not under pressure. He wasn't grossly manipulative or anything, but definitely pressuring. This took up a reasonable amount of their interactions and I didn't like it.
Other than that, this book was lovely to read and I will definitely be checking out more in the series.

Just as the last one heavy on religious beliefs and I guessed the killer and the motive within the first few chapters.

Very enjoyable.
Easy to listen to and not a grating American accent for a change, so I was not put off from following the story.

Soporific
No really! Holding back from marrying the man of one’s dreams in order to complete a book?
Giving away most of an inheritance for altruistic reasons?
The characters are rather improbable and stilted. The murder mystery is just the lesser part of the story.
No intellectual challenges here, nor sparkling prose, and the whole seems to be aimed at a very orthodox Christian readership.

pleasant but predictable
I selected this as it was free and so had nothing to lose, and enjoy a 'closed house' mystery, but found it quite easy to guess what was coming next. was amazed that it was only from 2019 as some of the main characters attitudes seemed quite old fashioned. Perhaps I would have been better prepared if I'd heard earlier titles but these were not available. The narrator's voice was pleasant but some of the phrasing and intonation was unexpected.

Good story. Well read. As a Brit living in Scotland I found some of the ‘accents’ poor, but that didn’t affect my enjoyment of the story.

Enjoyable book and good narrator
after reading previous reviews I wasn't sure, but the story sounded interesting and as it was free I thought I wasn't losing anything by giving it a try.
I'm so glad I did, I really enjoyed it, a nice relaxing listen.
The translator in my opinion is one of the better ones. Words were clearly spoken and easy to understand.
I have downloaded the next in the series and would definitely recommend this one.

Quite entertaining but a bit predictable
Overall, the story was a bit basic and predictable - not much of a twist at the end. The narration was quite robotic, like listening to Alexa or Siri, and the attempt at a Scottish accent was pretty cringeworthy!
