About this listen

Lighthearted 1920s cozy mysteries with a cast of unique and quirky characters tackling mysteries in country estates, villages, and the bright lights of the roaring twenties.

House Party Murder Rap: Two people have been targeted. Shots have been fired. Who stands to inherit? Who has the most to lose? Evangeline "Evie" Parker, Countess of Woodridge, thinks it's nothing but an accident, but then an attempt is made on her host's life. Suddenly, all the guests attending the Duke of Hetherington's house party think they are being targeted. Who will be next? Evie and her new chauffeur form an unlikely alliance to discover as much as they can before the killer can get it right.

Murder at the Tea Party: Warning: Afternoon tea with Lady Woodridge can be fatal. Evie has her hands full trying to keep the name of Woodridge free of scandal, as well as mending fences with her maid Caro. No easy task when one of her afternoon tea guests is poisoned. Is it a coincidence when another guest is found dead from poison?

I disliked so many things. The story felt like a current-day small-town American drama picked up and plonked into rural England a hundred years ago. It just doesn't work.
Too many historical, cultural, social class, characterisational and plot inaccuracies made it a rather painful audiobook to struggle through.
The most humorous part was the fact that Evangeline spent such a lot of time asking around to find a garden that grew foxgloves, when in the setting of springtime England the woods and roadside verges would have been full of foxgloves in their full four-foot high flowering glory. Apparently none of the villagers seemed to know this!
Narration was unconvincing. Upperclass and rural village English, American and Australian accents were indistinct and sometimes unsustained. Different voices were hard to distinguish during conversations.
The unsatisfactory reveal of an unconvincing murderer concluded a very unsatisfying audiobook.

Woefully misled by expectation set up by beautiful artwork of covers.
