Resumen del Editor

Miss Busby investigates a murder at Little Minton.

A picturesque Cotswolds village at Christmas, 1922. A man found face down floating in the lake. He was known to take risks: an insurance salesman—debonair, charming, and sweet-talking.

His clients were all ladies of a certain age, but nothing was as it seemed; he was playing a game, he pushed his luck, he put a price on his head, and somebody decided to collect.

Miss Busby helped Major Heathcliff Lennox solve a series of murders at Bloxford in the Cotswolds. Now, she finds herself drawn into a new murder, but this time, it's just her, and she must rely on her sharp mind and sharper wits to catch a Cotswolds killer, along with a handsome police inspector and a reporter who's keen to make her mark.

Full of twists and turns, Miss Busby Investigates: Murder at Little Minton is a real mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. With its strong protagonist and charming Christmas setting, this book is a must-listen for fans of classic whodunits and cozy mysteries alike.

A new series?

I love the Heathcliff Lenox stories and was hoping there would be another installment. I decided to give this book a try.

I thought there were a huge amount of characters to keep track of, not only the detective, but also a reporter, a police chief, pets, helpers, other police officers, and the many characters that make up the mystery. All of these characters live in the small town of Little Minton, so I suppose the authors felt it necessary to introduce the town to us. In the end it came together with a pleasant ending. Themes of elderly needs, community, love and loneliness were very clear.

Very much enjoyed

Miss Busby is definitely a more serious character than Heathcliff lol, but the book was excellent, and I hope the series will continue!

Nice cosy mystery.

Being a very senior citizen, myself, I appreciate it the characters of the older women, and the fact that the sleuth was a lady of my age. It was quite fun, listening to this. The characters were so interesting, and the story wound itself nicely enough to be a true mystery. I shall follow this series.

Good first attempt!!!

The main protagonist was smart and intelligent. Her assistant Adeline was brash and boring. Whenever Adeline spoke I was always distracted by her demeanor.

The setting offered obvious clues about the murder but not the culprit. Brilliance in character development, story plot and structure.

Loved the characters

The narrator was perfect for the story!! It was just a fun story! Loved it

What fun!!

Loved this book. I hope there are more of this wonderful detective (move over Miss Marple!)

A cozy and interesting story!

It gave a wonderful impression of an English village and the kind of people who lived there...

Thoroughly Charming and Full of Promise

Lively and full of nice twists. Great group of characters leaves one wanting and waiting for the next one!
The narrator did an excellent job!

As cozy as a mystery gets!

Christmas, small town, retired teacher and a dead body - enough said! Seriously though, it was a great listen - especially on a dark & rainy day - made it that much better by a marvelous performance of its narrator.
Give it a try! Especially if your preference for cozy mysteries lays in the “cozy” part :)

Delightful Cozy Mystery

This is a just such a perfect book to curl up with and forget the drama of the world. The narration is excellent and combined with the story creates a warm little world of with marvelous characters. The mystery is of the classic variety, nothing too taxing or dark but fun til the end. I loved the details of village life, dog and cat and miss busby is a dynamic protagonist. I just bought and look forward to the next one. After that, as the narrator is so good, I may buy another book she’s done just to listen to her some more.
