About this listen
Don’t miss Faith Martin’s fiendishly clever new novel, Murder by Candlelight, set in the 1920s and described as ‘the perfect village mystery’ by J.M. Hall
‘A brilliant book! The pairing of Ryder and Loveday is a stroke of genius.’ Clare Chase, author of the Eve Mallow and Tara Thorpe mysteries
Oxford, 1960. There's a murderer on the loose and two unlikely heroes are poised to solve the case.
Meet Probationary WPC Trudy Loveday – smart, enthusiastic and always underestimated.
In the hope of getting her out of the way, Trudy’s senior officer assigns her to help coroner Clement Ryder as he re-opens the case of a young woman's death. She can't believe her luck – she is actually going to be working on a real murder case.
Meanwhile, the rest of the police force are busy investigating a series of threats and murders in the local community, and Clement can't help but feel it's all linked.
As Trudy and Clement form an unlikely partnership, are they going to be the ones to solve these crimes before the murderer strikes again?
A gripping, twisty cozy crime novel that you won't be able to put down. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Richard Osman and M.C. Beaton.
‘Absolutely loved it… The characters were some of the best I’ve read in a long time.’ Angela Marsons, no. 1 bestselling author of the Kim Stone series

unexpected find
I thought I had it figured out but I didn't so that was a good mystery. I enjoyed the characters and narration was on point. I would read this author again.

nice
This turned out to be a good listen. The characters were well thought out and likable, even the secondary ones, and the mystery was nicely plotted, with a great conclusion. I'll listen to more in the series.

Good mystery
Enjoyed the story. Lots of plot twists which I didn't forsee. Narrator was very clear and easy to listen to.

Only the narrator got me through
Without the narrator being as good as she was, I wouldn’t have listened past the first few chapters.
I just couldn’t get past how unbelievable the investigation was, I found myself thinking “seriously?” a lot. There was nothing in the story that pointed to being in the 60s. The characters weren’t particularly likeable.
I did listen until the end though.
