Summary

Thea Osborne sets off to Frampton Mansell with confidence. Despite her first disastrous house-sitting venture, which drew her into a murder investigation, Thea, and her spaniel Hepzibah, are sure of a wonderful stay at the relaxed country estate of the Philipses. But it seems that she’s jinxed. Busying herself with her duties, she finds a body hanging from the rafters of one of the barns. Detective Superintendent Phil Hollis oversees the subsequent investigation and is more than a little surprised to find Thea once again at the scene. As the days go by, they find themselves working together more closely – although Thea, at times, is more of a hindrance than a help.

Firstly the use of weird breaks in the narration with music detracts from the flow. They are not even at the end of chapters and seemed to get longer as the story went on. The story was a bit disjointed with a lot of the characters not seeming to add anything to the storyline. I like the narrator but even she could not save this book

Not that good

Is this really the type of audio book we should be listening to? How is it right to write a book that dismisses a wife being beaten by her husband! Unreal!

This seems to promote spousal abuse
