The Mydworth Mystries Series has become a go-to cozy book series for me. I enjoy some instalments more or less but it's still always a fun time to spend unravelling a crime with Lord & Lady Mydworth.

Great reading

Another enjoyable read from Costello and Richards. They do write some really good short stories. Their Cherringham and Mydworth mysteries are different yet the same. If you were to use a food equivalent it would be like something having the same flavour, but a different taste!

Always quick and fun, number 17 has an interesting plot as a presumed dead man is found dead again. How did the man survive an unsurvivable accident? Winter time and icy streets put Lady Cat’s driving skills to the test and her husband Lord Harry are investigating the two deaths on behalf of his widow. As always read by the sublime Nathaniel Parker.

Fast-paced mystery with twists and turns

This story has great movement with murder, weather conditions, lying, and trains. Every chapter had new twists and turns that kept me reading into the night.

I love the stories, I wish they were longer, developing the story and characters more. I anticipate each release and hate for the story to be finished in a few hours.

Slightly disappointed with this offering, very short and not very detailed, might be a case of fulfilling their quota

Lukijana Nathaniel Parker.
Juonikuvio oli kekseliäs. Menin välillä sekaisinkin siitä, mutta kyllähän tämä oli viihdyttävä.

It was good to get back to Midworth for another mystery. This was another good episode. These are short and good to fit in when you need a quick story rather than committing to a longer novel.

Som tidigare delar innehåller denna spänning, humor och de suveränt trevliga sir Harry och hans fru Kat.
Och Nathaniel Parkers underbara röst. 😍
