À propos de cet audio
Lady Emily Hardcastle is an eccentric widow with a secret past. Florence Armstrong, her maid and confidante, is an expert in martial arts. The year is 1908 and they’ve just moved from London to the country, hoping for a quiet life.
But it is not long before Lady Hardcastle is forced out of her self-imposed retirement. There’s a dead body in the woods, and the police are on the wrong scent. Lady Hardcastle makes some enquiries of her own, and it seems she knows a surprising amount about crime investigation...
As Lady Hardcastle and Flo delve deeper into rural rivalries and resentment, they uncover a web of intrigue that extends far beyond the village. With almost no one free from suspicion, they can be certain of only one fact: there is no such thing as a quiet life in the country.
Revised edition: This edition of A Quiet Life In The Country includes editorial revisions.

England, 1920. Eleanor Swift has spent the last few years travelling the world: taking tea in China, tasting alligators in Peru, escaping bandits in Persia and she has just arrived in England after a chaotic 45-day flight from South Africa. Chipstone is about the sleepiest town you could have the misfortune to meet. But then, from the edge of a quarry, through the driving rain, Eleanor is shocked to see a man shot and killed in the distance. Before she can climb down to the spot, the villain is gone and the body has vanished.

As the city prepares to celebrate Queen Victoria's golden jubilee, Veronica Speedwell is marking a milestone of her own. After burying her spinster aunt, the orphaned Veronica is free to resume her world travels in pursuit of scientific inquiry - and the occasional romantic dalliance.

delightful story
loved it, well-written with witty dialogue superbly read. This was my idea of an old-fashioned English mystery. It had me grinning at the humour and even laughing out loud once or twice. Enjoyed the characters and how they interacted with each other.

had a rough time keeping my interest
rather boring. at one point I found myself counting how many times the phrase 'my lady' was used rather than listening. I was glad when it was over.

Very nice cozy mystery
This was a fun book to listen to - - an interesting mystery with plenty of humour and characters with personality.
The narration by Elizabeth Knowelden is spot on.

not for me
One's enjoyment of this novel is largely dependent on one's sense of humor. I'm not a fan of "snark," so I just found the comic parts annoying and kind of rude.
That said, apart from the reliance on sarcasm, it was a solid cozy mystery. The characters were reasonably well developed, the plot was interesting and the writing accomplished.
I only picked this up because it was a daily deal on Audible. It was ok, but just not for me.

Fun Little Mystery, Complete with Accents!
A fantastic little cozy mystery which takes place in the English countryside. Well rounded characters, fantastic storyline and on point accents make this a wonderful little fluff ride through mystery-town.
I look forward to reading more of these, sort of a Miss Marple mystery.. or think Angela Landsbury.

A fun cozy murder
The narrator was phenomenal, and the story was fun and kept you guessing - I’m surprised it hasn’t made it to television yet

Cozy English countryside mystery
I picked this one up at random (on sale, maybe?), listened to all Lady Hardcastle mysteries since then, and can’t wait for more. The narrator is perfect. I felt lifted out of my reality and transported to the quiet and peaceful English countryside. I listened to this while running and walking, and the book is perfect for that — the story is moving slowly, so if you miss a few seconds, there is no need to rewind. Yet, it’s pure joy and delight to listen to.
