Cherringham #15
Saatuslik kukkumine
Dylan McCabe, Cherrringhami pakilise ehitusprojekti tülikalt ninatark iirlasest tööline, on juba mõnda aega nurisenud, et ehitusel ei täideta ohutusnõudeid. Ühel päeval leitakse Dylan surnuks kukkununa ning kõik viitab sellele, et tema hoiatused polnud võrsunud tühjalt kohalt. Alles siis, kui asjasse sekkuvad endine New Yorgi politsei mõrvarühma uurija Jack Brennan ja kodukohta naasnud veebidisainer Sarah Edwards, selgub, et see, mida peeti õnnetusjuhtumiks, on tegelikult külmavereline mõrv. Nüüd, mil Cherringhami jõulupidustusteni on jäänud kõigest mõni päev, asuvad Jack ja Sarah otsima mõrtsukat. Paraku avastavad nad varsti, et ohus on ka nende endi elu.

Der 15. Band von aktuell 46 Bänden dieser Cosy Crime Reihe!
Ich freue mich sehr, dass diese Reihe so viele Bände hat, denn ich mag sie! Ich mag das Setting und das Zusammenspiel von Jack und Sarah.
Die Fälle sind spannend und rätselhaft, und trotzdem ist es aber auch eine gemütliche Atmosphäre.
In diesem Band geht es um einen irischen Bauarbeiter, der nach einem Sturz von einer Baustelle stirbt. Es sieht nicht nach einem Unfall aus...
Unterhaltsam und kurzweilig wie immer 💗

Nu jau esmu pieradusi pie šiem vieglajiem detektīvstāstiņiem.
Kā tāds vakara kraukšķis bija labi.

Nicely written, the plot was good, the events easy to follow, always a pleasure finding Sarah and Jack again. I'm starting to fall in love with this place!

Cherringham ist mittlerweile wie nach Hause zu kommen. Immer wieder ein kurzweiliges Vergnügen.

Jūtamas dzirksteles starp Sāru un Džeku☺️ "Liktenīgais kritiens" noslēdzas Ziemassvētkos un visos stāstos laikapstākļi gluži kā tagad ārā: pelēks, drēgns un bez saules.

A Fatal Fall: Cherringham 15
Chronological order, not necessary but recommended.
In A Nutshell: Written in the vein of a classic mystery our amateur sleuths are investigating what appears to be the accidental death of a labourer. I found little to get my teeth into and guessed the plot. Pleasant but not rivetting.
The Protagonists: Take one hard-boiled former New York City Detective retired to Cherringham England and one Brit businesswoman divorcee who fled home to Cherringham, and you have our protagonists. The professional and amateur in the sleepy Oxford countryside. Jack Brennan is the gentleman, and Sarah Edwards mother of two is the techie.
The Plot:How did the builder die. Well, it turns out to be a case of eye spy.
Written in the old school style this formulaic cliche story works wonders. It transports the reader to a sleepy English village where murder happens without any of the gore. And there is no pressure on Jack or Sarah to have a relationship. Yet. They are just two people who work well together and enjoy what they do.
Well written, light and refreshing a pleasant read.

Arvasin üsna kiiresti ära, kuidas lugu lõpeb, kuid siiski mõnus krimiamps muude raamatute vahele.
Aitäh lugemiselamuse eest, Eesti Raamat!

I had just finished my last book and fancied a short read to cover a motorway bus journey. I had previously enjoyed this series but thought I'd come to the end and moved on to the authors' "Mydworth "series . Surprised /delighted when I found that the series had continued. I was happy to return
This is a series of novellas that I stumbled on ages ago. Originally written and self produced as monthly stories - memories of Dickens and Conan Doyle perhaps , by an English guy and an American both accomplished writers.
The stories are all about an older American detectective who retires to an English village and meets up with a younger divorcee with a couple of kids.
In many ways they need each other and have had successes working together to solve local mysteries in the past.
Here, they are approached to look at a case that the local police have already labelled as 'Accidental'.
A man doing a bit of overtime in the dark on a building site, falls to his death.
Within the limits of a short story, various suggestions are put forward as to motive and perpetrator.
A cozy read and although I almost got the guilty one right, I was a generation wrong in the motive.
For the cozy read that they are with a feel good bit thrown in, this isn't bad at all.

It was set up to be an accident, but one dodgy witness was bothered by it. How to get legal evidence is a major problem for Jack and Sarah to find in their investigation.
Love this idea of a series given in short bursts that are just the right size as well as so much more flexible than a whole novel! The ongoing sleuthing involves a retired and widowed older NYPD homicide cop who is finding life in the English countryside a fair antidote to his mourning, and a local recently divorced woman who has returned to her hometown with her children. They make a good sleuthing pair.
Voice actor Neil Dudgeon has been an excellent asset to my listening pleasure, making sure that
I know who's talking while I do mindless things.

I'm not really sure how to rate this one. I absolutely love the town of Cherryingham. The setting of a small English town and the main characters always make this series a cozy read that I enjoy going back to. I love the relationship between Jake and Sara and the mixture of his NYC style and her British one. I also love the narrator. I just didn't love the actual mystery. Seemed a bit over the top.

For me, there was a big dissonance between the victim's POV at the beginning and how he was perceived by others. Because the guy was a real dick. Yet his friends and his lover portrayed him as almost a saint, standing up for the little man, when in reality he was just a lazy bugger who was in it for himself, who gambled, made debts and did drugs. And the way he talked about his "Love Machine"? Iggit! It felt to me like they were two completely different people.

Another quick outing with Jack and Sarah. This time, the reader knows there is no such thing as a simple construction site accident when this investigating duo is called in. With a couple of twists and turns, and a few deceptions, the reader is quickly back in the mix and all too soon realizes feigned concern is nothing more than a ruse.

Late one rainy, icy night, a building worker is finishing up for the night. As he climbs around the scaffolding piling up tiles for the next day, he slips and falls to his death. Is it an accident? Is it something more sinister? Jack and Sarah look into the mystery.

Accident or Murder

A good book to listen too when you clean the house. It gives you ”Midsomer murders” wibes. It is fun to try to figure out how the guilty person is. Jack is a retired cop from US, Sarah is a singel mom and they solves crime together. This one was about a murder/accident.

Jack and Sarah are back to form in this quite sad installment.

It’s Christmas, but not all us Joyous Noel. Jack and Sarah investigate ac accident on a local construction site that just doesn’t add up.

I have been listening to the Cherringham series in order so this makes the 15th one. There is starting to be a predictable sameness in them.

Pēc Maikla Konelija pēdējā grāmata no četrām vairs tā nepatika. Viss tā vienkārši. Par daudz vienkārši

trīs dažādi stāsti vienā grāmatā. labs variants, ja prasās ļooti vienkāršus, nesamudrītus detektīvstāstus.
