Hannah must learn on the job in a strained medical system, as she and her fellow trainees deal with the common and the bizarre, the hilarious and the tragic, the treatable and the confronting.

Story
Young Elly's world is shaped by those who inhabit it: her loving but maddeningly distractible parents; a best friend who smells of chips and knows exotic words like 'slag'; an ageing fop who tapdances his way into her home, a Shirley Bassey impersonator who trails close behind; lastly, of course, a rabbit called God. In a childhood peppered with moments both ordinary and extraordinary, Elly's one constant is her brother Joe. Twenty years on, Elly and Joe are fully grown and as close as they ever were. Until, that is, an earth-shattering event that threatens to destroy their bond for ever.

Story
Fiona, Sue, and Daisy, three retired ladies who volunteer at the local charity shop, Dogs Need Nice Homes, can’t believe their favorite customer is dead. Eighty-six-year-old Sarah Brown was found murdered in her hallway by her delivery man, a domino clutched in her hand—with a name scratched on it. When another person is found dead with a domino in their hand, and with the police making no progress, the ladies will need to help unmask a serial killer. At least they have Fiona’s scruffy-haired terrier cross to assist them.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Ten years ago, Harold Fry set off on his epic journey on foot to save a friend. But the story doesn't end there.
Now his wife, Maureen, has her own pilgrimage to make.
Maureen Fry has settled into the quiet life she now shares with her husband Harold after his iconic walk across England. Now, ten years later, an unexpected message from the North disturbs her equilibrium again, and this time it is Maureen's turn to make her own journey.
But Maureen is not like Harold. She struggles to bond with strangers, and the landscape she crosses has changed radically. She has little sense of what she'll find at the end of the road. All she knows is that she must get there.
Maureen Fry and the Angel of the North is a deeply felt, lyrical and powerful novel, full of warmth and kindness, about love, loss, and how we come to terms with the past in order to understand ourselves and our lives a little better. While it stands in its own right, it is also the exquisitely moving finale to a trilogy that began with the phenomenal bestseller The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and continued with The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy.

Very good end to this moving story
Beautiful, significant end to this wonderful series of books. Maureen, the most unlovable character of all, deserved this happier ending. Rachel Joyce is such a perceptive, generous writer.

Loved the whole series!
I loved every book in the series. The story lines were fascinating with twists that I didn't see coming. And the narrator was brilliant!

Lovely Conclusion To A Wonderful Story
I enjoyed this series and it’s a shame it is over. The writing places you at the centre of the action and paints the characters to be relatable and believable. Products of their circumstances, they are flawed and loveable at the same time. All three books are wonderfully narrated and this is a big part of the charm. This is a short book with a big story and I’m sure any listener won’t feel disappointed or shortchanged. I finished it in a day as it was too good to put down. Thanks

Too short but pleasant
It must be the only time I didn’t check the audible story length! I assumed the 3rd part of what appeared to be a trilogy would be the same length.
Just as I was getting ready for some more depth - the credits came!
Someone should have told Maureen she was supposed to walk, not drive.
