When a man is murdered in a back lane of Mydworth, the police are surprised to discover that the victim had supposedly died months Harry and Kat agree to investigate on behalf of the man's frightened and confused wife, and soon discover that to find the killer they must solve not one, but two mysterious deaths ...
Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating innovative content and working on major projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.
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.
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.
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.
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.
