Take one quiet Yorkshire Village, add a measure of mystery, a sprinkling of scandal and Kate Shackleton - amateur sleuth extraordinaire! Bridgestead is a quiet village: a babbling brook, rolling hills and a working mill at its heart. Pretty and remote, nothing exceptional happens...except for the day when Joshua Braithwaite goes missing in dramatic circumstances, never to be heard of again.

Publisher's Summary

A Pawnshop Robbery: It's no rest for the wicked as Kate Shackleton picks up her second professional sleuthing case. But exposing the culprit of a pawnshop robbery turns sinister when her investigation takes her to Harrogate - and murder is only one step behind....

A Fatal Stabbing: A night at the theatre should be just what the doctor ordered - until Kate stumbles across a body in the doorway. The knife sticking out of its chest definitely suggests a killer in the theatre's midst.

A Ransom Demand: Kate likes nothing better than a mystery - and nothing better than solving one. So when a ransom note demands £1,000 for the safe return of the play's leading lady, the refined streets of Harrogate play host to Kate's skills in piecing together clues - and luring criminals out of their lairs....

A good story with unexpected but plausible twists. More for a female audience in style.

A Good story

I enjoyed this book and listened to the whole thing in a couple of days. There were a lot of characters but it was not difficult to follow the story. The murderer was not obvious and there were a lot of false leads. I will probably listen to it again at some point. The narration was excellent and the book was very easy to listen to.

the narrator doesn't really fit with character

interesting story but has lost local context due to change in narrator. now kate Shackleton sounds upper class?
