Tödliche Melodie

Cherringham #22

by Matthew Costello, Neil Richards, Sabina Godec (Narrator)

Folge 22: Alex King, Leadsänger der legendären Neunzigerjahre-Rockgruppe Lizard, gibt eine Party auf seinem prächtigen Anwesen in Cherringham. Gefeiert werden soll das lang erwartete Comeback der Band. Doch statt Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll gibt es vor allem Streit - mit einem tragischen Ausgang: Im Morgengrauen treibt Alex tot im Pool seines Anwesens.

Für die Polizei steht außer Frage: Es handelt sich um einen Unfall unter Drogeneinfluss. Aber als Jack und Sarah von einem Bandmitglied gebeten werden, Nachforschungen anzustellen, entdecken sie bald, dass auch ein guter Song tödliche Folgen haben kann.

I’m not sure why I didn’t connect with The Song Never Dies, but there was a part of me that couldn’t wait for it to be over. Other than Jack and Sarah, the characters did not appeal to me. The narrative was tedious, and by the conclusion, I did not care who was responsible for the death or the reason behind it.

An aging former rock star tries to get the band together for one more tour and invites the band members and their agent to a party at his mansion. The band members meet and argue, and the next morning the leader is found dead in his own pool. It’s ruled an accident, but the drummer is suspicious, and Jack and Sarah agree. They interview all the band leaders and their wives and partners and discover that most of them have compelling motives for wanting him dead, but finding out who had the opportunity proves to be difficult, since they all seem to be hiding something. This is another wonderful story in the series, although the musician in me cringed at some of the descriptions of the music-making.

These short Cherringham audiobook mysteries are perfect entertainment for doing chores. They are all two and a half hours long and rarely build a lot of tension so you don't lose focus on your work. In this one Sarah and Jack sense nearly everyone involved is lying about something. Some of the lies are unrelated to the death. Some are.

The Lizards, a rock group from Sarah’s teenage years is back together. They’re planning a concert and tour. Still arguing and fussing about details, the band may let old grudges keep them from further success.

The True Author

Once again Jack, the ex NY Cop and Sarah the single Mom and shop owner has solved another mystery. What was this one about, the author of a very popular song. Read and see if you can figure the killer out before they are shown for who they really are.

I had a hard time with this book. Because I didn't connect with the characters or care about the plot, it took about three tries to start the book and at least twice as many tries to finish it. I kept falling asleep while listening to the end of the book.

Rock on...

We all have rock heroes. Jack and Sarah needed to meet middle ground in this book to fix a murder.

[Jan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good story in a nice length in a fine series narrated by an exceptional voice actor.

I love this series on audio! Always great characters and storylines.

[Mike Stuart · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 stars. Not much plot here, but interesting characters

[Cecilia Gustavsson · Rating 3 out of 5]

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.

[Meggie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This story was once again interesting and pulling. What I did miss were some wholes in the storyline, about that young female singer. For example, where did she came from and how did Nick work with her. Nick's behavior was strange too, he told Jack he didn't believe that Alex King was the right owner of that Song, but then on the video Nick was in that hotel room too, listening to Alex's singing that song. Weird....

I have missed visiting Cherringham! Once again a nice little mystery with Jack and Sarah on the case, and narrator Neil Dudgeon brings the stories to life for me.

Fijne vrijdagmiddag snack. Geen hoogstaand verhaal, wel gezellig kneuterig. Nu weer veel te lang afwachten op het volgende deel op Storytel.
