About this listen
Crafted by the creator of the beloved Mrs. Pollifax series, this little gem of a novel sparkles with romance and intrigue. The story whisks you to the enchanting rural abode known as Thale’s Folly, whose occupants are anything but fools. As you get to know these charming people and their magical home, a delicious scent of mystery infuses the fresh country air.
Andrew Thale is not exactly thrilled when his overbearing father sends him on an errand to assess the property inherited from an eccentric aunt. Andrew is intrigued though, when he finds the house fully occupied. Its odd and interesting residents have a calming effect on him, especially the beautiful young woman named Tarragon. But his arrival seems to have set a series of mysterious events into motion. Narrator John McDonough’s engaging performance lets you share in the excitement and camaraderie. Like Andrew Thale, you will want to linger in this mellow country haven.

Fabulous characters!
I loved how gently the stories and lives of all the characters slowly wove together.

Outstanding!
I loved the Pollifax mysteries, but this was something more. It was whimsical, engaging and moving. The characters were eccentric and endearing, vulnerable and remote, and always caring. Thale’s Folly wasn’t a mystery, but a very difficult week in the lives of people who were struggling already. It brought out unexpected strengths and weaknesses and forced the main character to really look at himself while realizing that he hasn’t been looking at anyone but himself for some time. The unconventional life, living your own truth while turning your attention and caring towards others seem central to the story, but it isn’t particularly preachy. It was entertaining, relatable and easy to read. Loved it!
