Publisher's Summary

Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this new series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry. Here, fudge-making and quaffing real ale in the local pub are matched by an undercurrent of passion, jealousy, hatred and murder - laced with a welcome dose of humour.

This compilation contains episodes 4 - 6.

DEATH OF A LADIES' MAN:

The summer tourist season is in full swing. Among the visitors is Mario Bellini, a gelateria owner with film-star good looks, who is considering opening an ice-cream parlour in Bunburry. But shortly after his arrival, he is found dead - a tragic accident, or something more sinister?

DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS:

Deb's Beauty Salon becomes the last resting place for merry widow and property magnate Eve Mosby, whose passions include haute couture and a young lover. Plenty of people disliked Mrs Mosby, but enough to kill her?

MURDER IN HIGH PLACES:

Oscar will brave the Cotswolds for the first time! Alfie has tried for months to convince his best friend to visit him - but when a glamorous High Society Party in honour of celebrated actor Dorian Stevens is announced, Oscar just can't resist. He is - after all - Dorian's greatest fan and can't wait to meet his hero. But the evening at the lovely Saville mansion takes a murderous turn...

Cosy up to these lovely mysteries

These cosy mysteries are whimsical, clever... and sometimes over the top! I love them! They're perfect for travelling or walking around. Nathaniel Parker is a fabulous narrator. The voices he uses for the characters are sometimes hilarious. Mr. Parker doesn't just read to you, he performs for you! I've often laughed out loud. I am so impressed with his narration, I will be looking for more books he narrates.

I'm not impressed at how Audible doesn't separate the stories in its Chapters section (as per most compilations). I have it bookmarked for each story as follows:
Ch 1- 28 DEATH OF A LADIES' MAN
Ch 29- 58 DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS
Ch 59- 88 MURDER IN HIGH PLACES

I totally recommend these charming stories!

Poor Index

No book or chapter headings. Good narrator, entertaining story but lack of proper index in multibook recording is frustrating.
