About this listen

’Till death do us part may come sooner than they thought....

The year 1934. Kitty Underhay steps out of the battered Rolls Royce and onto the graveled driveway of Thurscomb Castle in deepest Yorkshire. She’s honored to be a bridesmaid at her cousin Lucy’s wedding to the reluctant Lord Rupert Woodcomb, but as family and friends gather for welcome drinks, Kitty dodges intrusive questions about her own marital status by taking a stroll about the castle grounds. As she passes through the manicured gardens, a fatal shot rings out....

The valet, Evans, is dead. And Kitty can’t help but notice how rattled the man standing next to him seems. Could Rupert’s best man, The Right Honorable Alexander "Sandy" Galsworthy, believe the speeding bullet was meant for him?

When she discovers that Sandy has been receiving blackmail notes, Kitty suspects that one of the assembled guests has plans to make good on their threats. The local constabulary won’t act on Kitty’s hunch, so, busy with her bridesmaid’s duties, she asks her beau, ex-army captain Matthew Bryant, to help.

The ceremony passes without a hitch. But when an anxious Sandy slips away during the dancing, Matt follows, only to make a hideous discovery: Sandy is dead, flattened on the terrace by some falling masonry.

Now the duo are sure that there is a murderer within the castle walls. But can they untangle Sandy’s final hours and catch this killer before they strike again, or will the wedding bells be replaced by a death knell for Kitty herself?

A completely charming cozy historical Golden Age murder mystery! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey, and Lee Strauss.

The Miss Underhay Mystery series was previously narrated by Alex Tregear, who is now beginning a new adventure as she trains to be an occupational therapist.

Story was engaging and enjoyable but the narration was stilted and made Kitty and Matt sounded boring and pompous instead of feisty, but empathetic. Kitty character in particular was very disappointing. The flat tone reduced the energy and suspense of the book. enjoyed the previous narration far more.

Enjoyable story disappointing narration

Bring back Alex Tregear! After all of the previous books in the series, I found this one difficult to listen to. The accents were all wrong and clipped and was not easy on the ear. I'm sure Polly is a great narrator but to come in behind someone after so many books in the series, she has a hard position to fill.

The narrator of this book sounds like she is toff, very plumy accent and completely lost the authenticity of Kate. It’s very hard if you have to change narrators but, I wish the casting had been more sympathetic. It says a lot when you can’t focus on a story because of a jarring change in characterisation by the narrator. Alex Tregear had established the series for me and now I’m not sure I will get the next book.

Such a shame

Bring back Alex!! The narration is awful. Totally ruined the characters. All of a sudden after 6 books the characters have turned into the Royal Family. Just awful

Awful narration

This reader made Kitty sound like a real hob-nob and took the essence of the story a different direction. The story was a bit weak and same with characters. Maybe got the writer on a bad day.

Change of Performance

Have been enjoying the series. However I was going to stop listening due to the new narrator. I find her very difficult to listen to. So Glad there’s a new narrator for the next books.

Terrible narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The storyline was weak in the first half with boring explanations of class differences and descriptions of interiors, fashion and not much else. The character of Kitty seems to have had a personality excision from previous books as she appears vacuous, stereotypical and mindless. This one in the series was disappointing.

Not consistent with characterisation of previous books
