About this listen

In the south of France, where hatred simmers in the heat, a man seemingly admired, and certainly feared, drops dead at a dinner party. All of the guests fall under suspicion, including Welsh-Canadian professor Cait Morgan. A criminologist who specializes in profiling victims, Cait sets out to solve the murder - and clear her name. Add to this the disappearance of an ancient Celtic gold collar said to be cursed and there you have the ingredients for a Nicoise salad of death, secrets, and lies.

Will Cait find the killer before she too falls victim to a murderer driven by a surprising and disturbing motive?The Corpse with the Silver Tongue is the first in the Cait Morgan mystery series, a classic whodunit series featuring the eccentric Professor Cait Morgan.

Narrated by the author and a fantastically authentic experience. I never thought that I would enjoy listening to a book more than reading it, but Ace has achieved this for me.
I devoured this and he second book in record time!

Fantastic and Engaging!

Cathy Ace has demonstrated great imagination and has gathered all the elements into an enjoyable story. It's a long, drawn-out story but that doesn't distract from the overall experience which, at times, tends to become rather like two neighbours chatting over a fence. What did distract me was the reader. Cathy's imagination sometimes takes second place to her rather flat delivery. I can think of several narrators that would have done a better job. I would still recommend this book but patience is recommended as the narrative is drawn out.

A Unique and Enjoyable Story

Could not finish - story was ok but narrator's voice made it a hard task to listen to. Sadly, I gave up

Hard work!
