Als in einer dunklen Seitengasse von Mydworth die Leiche eines Mannes gefunden wird, steht die Polizei vor einem Rätsel: Das Opfer ist der ehemalige Lokführer Len Skinner, der vor Monaten bei einem tragischen Zugunglück ums Leben kam. Seine verängstigte Witwe bittet Kat und Harry um Hilfe. Doch schon bald wird klar, dass der Fall komplizierter ist als gedacht ... Denn um den Mörder zu finden, müssen sie nicht nur Skinners Tod, sondern auch ein weiteres Verbrechen aufklären.
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.
