Cliffhanger

Cherringham #33

by Matthew Costello, Neil Richards

When a hiker falls from a cliff edge while walking the Cotswolds Way, it seems like no accident. The more Jack and Sarah investigate the walkers on the trail that day, the more likely it seems that danger is still afoot. Is there a potential killer in this Cherringham tour group? And when will he or she strike again?

Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.

A person falls or is pushed over a cliff, but it didn’t kill them because a tree stopped them. Jack and Sarah are asked to investigate it.

As always, a rated G story.

As to the narration: Neil Dudgeon is as awesome as ever.

[Nancy Boyd]

I liked this one a lot! Very different with some great red herrings.

I like this series and this is episode 33. I decided that it was time to download the remaining in the series. The final two books however, are not available on Audible. It's so frustrating, it's like cutting the final chapter from a book. Back to this book Jack and Sarah once more are called you to solve another mystery. Who was the victim, why was she singled out, and why did the perpetrator carry out the deed. Sorry, if you are looking for answers from me, then please read the story. TV's Midsomer Murders actor, Neil Dudgeon narrates this series, ironic in way as his show, like this series, has at least one fatality.

Pushed or jumped?

While taking a hiking tour in the Cotswolds a group of Americans, a German and a Brit, become involved with what could have been a very bad situation. Jack and Sara are great at solving things like this. These books are fun and as they go on, the characters become great friends. Love getting to know them!

I really enjoy the Cherringham series. They are short books that can be read quickly. Characters are interesting and the style of writing light and easy to read. The murders have a twist and the process of gathering the data means you are able to follow the thought processes of the "detectives". Not all about murder either, though it is an area of the Cotswolds I might avoid!

This was a good episode. It involves the town historian who is a quirky character and a tour group of walkers who all come from different backgrounds. When one of them falls off the side of a cliff, it doesn't look like an accident. Luckily she survives but strangely doesn't want the accident investigated. Very good story.

Mukava pikku tarina, ei kauhean jännittävä ehkä. Luin töissä tauoilla ja siihen oli mitä mainiointa luettavaa, sujuvasti kirjoitettua. Olen aiemmin lukenut sarjan pari ekaa, nyt hyppäsin tuoreimpaan, ei haitannut yhtään. Voisin tuosta välistä näitä lueskella jatkossakin.

Good Friends

As always, the authors deliver an interesting, complex plot populated with some new fun characters. Of course, Jack and Sarah solve the crime with the help of Cherringham's quirky residents.

I absolutely like reading this series, love the interaction between Jack & Sarah.

[Cheryl]

Another fun read.

Just another fun read from the tales of Sarah and Jack in the beautiful Cotswolds. This ongoing tale is just delightful and fun read.

[Dona]

Once again, Matthew Costello and Neil Richards have created a nice, cozy mystery. A great way to pass the time sequestered in my house.

#33 ♥️

[Neely Powell]

A hiking tour is interrupted when one of the hikers falls down a cliff. But was it actually a fall?

[Meggie]

Jack and Sarah became really great partners and friends. I liked this mystery and how they found out the mystery. Funny and enjoyable short story.

[Andrew]

2.5

[Nancy]

Tourists from New York in the mix this time.

[Lee Ann Stamm]

This is number 33 in the series. They are all short and good. I’ve become quite fond of Jack and Sarah and look forward to number 34.

[Jill Stirling]

Excellent

[Cecilia Gustavsson]

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 mystery.

Pretty interesting instalment
