About this listen

 Ignorance is bliss... especially when it comes to murder!

Ever since the death of his father, Fellworth Dolphin has slaved away as a waiter to support his miserly, cold-hearted mother. So when she suddenly dies Fellworth is shocked to discover she has left him a fortune. Somewhat confused, Fell teams up with a girl from work, Maggie, to investigate the source of the riches. But what they find instead is a closet full of skeletons...

Is it really possible Fell's father was involved in a decades-old train robbery? And who is the mysterious woman in the portrait hidden in his mother's wardrobe? As Fell and Maggie poke around the village for answers they find themselves on a surprise-filled path to danger and adventure - but all this good fortune could come to a sudden end if they don't stay one step ahead of a cunning killer...©2013 M.C. Beaton Crime Crime Fiction Mystery Fiction Heartfelt Suspense Village

Terrific story not sure the actual story, is up to par, it’s a bit of fun. Still the love story is wonderful I usually hate love stories but this one is sweet.

Story wasn't bad although couldn't help thinking the robbery story was just a retelling.of the Great Train Robbery. Narrator really did sound like he was just reading the story rather than telling the story.

Not up to Hamish & David Monteith but a bit of fun

People like me, who cannot wait for the next offering of M. C. Beaton modern stories will enjoy this rollicking adventure, the muddled romance and the sweet serendipity.

Another sweet M. C. Beaton tale
