4 stars

As luck would have it, this book is very similar to "The Last Thing He Told Me" book and I am now watching the tv series. Nevertheless a good one. Enjoyed it!

[Arliss · Rating 4 out of 5]

No Place to Hide is definitely one of the strongest entries in the Cherringham series. As usual, I enjoyed the characters and the setting most of all but the mystery in this one was especially well done for such a short piece. I actually would have appreciated it as a full length novel had Matthew Costello felt he could have expanded it. I recommend all of this series. They are relaxing and fun every time.

I simply love Jack and Sarah! This is the 41st novella about Cherringham and I've enjoyed every one of them. This one was about a disappearing man that Jack and Sarah said they'd find for his wife.

No romance and no swearing at all.

As for the narration: Neil Dudgeon is a good narrator but he does need to stop making Sarah sound like a man.

One of the best Cherringham episodes

Intriguing mystery, great plot subject, writing as usual is great. I read it in one sitting. Just wished it could have lasted a little longer.
Can’t wait for the next epidose.

In a Bubble

Great read, loved the plot. Jack and Sarah saved the day! They are a wonderful team armed with smarts, skills, and the right conventions to get the job done. Can't wait to see what mystery awaits this duo next.

Nice, tidy story

This series continues its excellence. Well written stories by master story tellers. Don't let the "British cozy" designation fool you. Tightly written without a lot of excess verbiage. Refreshing. Thank you guys!

Really, really enjoyable

This story is up there with the best of Jack and Sarah's adventures. It felt like they had to work at this one, rather than coast to a result as seems to have been the norm of late. Looking forward to the next one.

These mini adventures are perfect Boxing Day fare, although I might have drifted off for a couple of chapters.
So relaxing to have Mr Midsomer Murders (Neil Dudgeon) narrate a gently intriguing mystery that’s not too taxing.

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.

I’m enjoying very much this long running series of cosy short stories, written by Matthew Costello and Neil Richards, narrated by Neil Dudgeon.

Set in the fictitious Cotswold village of Cherringham, it features English web designer, Sarah Edwards, and ex New York homicide detective, Jack Brennan, who relocated to the UK when his wife died. He lives on an old barge moored at Cherringham with his dog, Riley.

He and Sarah are the village’s unofficial private detectives and are adept at solving mysteries, aided by Jack’s background and Sarah’s internet expertise.

When Ed Finlay, a computer programmer and devoted family man, doesn’t return from work one day, his wife Emma is scared something bad has happened to him. The police can’t do much as Ed told them in confidence that he’d be away for some time.

After hearing nothing for a month, Emma asks Jack and Sarah for help. They soon discover secrets and are concerned that Ed is not only missing but most probably also in danger.

The mysteries are succinct and well written with well thought through plots.
