Nathaniel Parker, born in 1962, graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company. His television career began in 1988 when he played Flying Officer 'Flash' Gordon in the LWT mini-series 'Piece of Cake'. He is also the lead in the BBC series 'The Inspector Lynley Mysteries', based on the novels by Elizabeth George. Nathaniel Parker has an extensive list of audio books to his credit, ranging from the classics of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy to more modern writings and children's books.
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.
