 | kirstyreviewsbooks January 28 | Narrated by John Hopkins I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and HQ Digital and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Blurb The Cotswolds, 1924. At the Old Forge in the quiet village of Maybury-in-the-Marsh a cry of anguish rings lady of the house Amy Phelps has been discovered dead. But with all the windows and doors to her room locked from inside, how – and by whom – was she killed? Arbuthnot 'Arbie' Swift finds himself in the unlikely position of detective. The celebrated author of The Gentleman's Guide to Ghost-Hunting is staying at the Old Forge to investigate a suspected spectre, but now the more pressing matter of Amy's murder falls to him too. With old friend Val, he soon uncovers a sorry tale of altered wills, secret love affairs and tragic losses – and plenty of motives for murder. When events take another sinister turn, Arbie must find the killer, fast. And to do so will mean cracking a most perfectly plotted crime… My Opinion I listened to this audiobook in one sitting. This is a cosy murder mystery that gets off to a very slow start. For me, the plot was dragged out a bit and I found myself losing interest. The ending does make up for slow plot so overall this is worth a read, you just have to stick with it during the slow parts.
