KILLING TIME
Urban Explorers love the excitement of 'exploring' long-abandoned buildings, searching for mysteries in the dark, empty places. But when one such explorer takes a solo tour of a decaying mansion near Cherringham, he discovers that some houses can turn fatal.
STILL DEAD
When the Veteran Head of Botanicals at the world-famous Cherringham Gin Company is suddenly found dead at the Distillery, it seems at first a strange accident must have taken place. But some family members aren’t convinced, and Jack and Sarah are asked to investigate by old friend.
KILLER TRACK
Every year Lady Repton opens up her grand estate to host 'Cherringfest' - the Cotswold's favourite music festival. But what should be a summer weekend of fantastic music, food and fun for all, turns frightening when murder is threatened...
Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating innovative content and working on major projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.
The first two of the three were definitely 4 stars but the last one was more like 3. I have loved this series and the characters. I also like the short episodes as they are quick yet captivating.
The episodes reminded me of other story lines in other books. Episode 37 was about Urbexing. Joy Ellis' book, They Disappeared has an Urbexing storyline that is chilling. The second episode mimics a Midsommer Murders episode and Episode 39 talks about a music festival, similar to an episode of Silent Witness, though, fortunately, nobody dies.
Enjoyable as always and Dudgeon does a great job on the narration. I recommend reading in order of publication, but it's not as critical with this series as with some others. I enjoy the short format on audiobook - easy to follow all the characters and plots in these short episodes.
