By: Helena Marchmont

Narrated by: Nathaniel Parker

Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry.

Wedding bells are ringing in the picturesque village of Bunburry with the community coming together in joyful celebration. But the festive atmosphere takes a dark turn when the home of Rakesh Choudhury, the respected owner of Bunburry's popular Indian restaurant, is viciously attacked. As whispers of racism ripple through the tight-knit community, tensions rise. Who could have committed such a heinous act? Is the attack a targeted hate crime, or is something more sinister at play? There is an official police investigation, but amateur sleuth Alfie McAlister believes there are other jealousies and hidden grudges at play. Is he the only one who can uncover the truth?

Nathaniel Parker, born in 1962, graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company. His television career began in 1988 when he played Flying Officer 'Flash' Gordon in the LWT mini-series "Piece of Cake". He is also the lead in the BBC series "The Inspector Lynley Mysteries", based on the novels by Elizabeth George. Nathaniel Parker has an extensive list of audiobooks to his credit, ranging from the classics of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy to more modern writings and children's books.

I love this series

This series is really good it's a good story with great characters. The narration is wonderful as well. Well worth the price.

What is the difficult pisition?

I think the title must be a pun for yoga. I love this series, but this particular story was actually pretty bad. I don't want politics and social commentary in my stories. Also, just not a lot of action, suspense or intrigue. Somehow, I just never cared about the characters, the plot or even the villain. Just boring. Still looking forward to the next story though and, hopefully, it won't take nearly as long to get it.

The change in the retired sheriff

I just have love these stories. Can’t wait till the next one comes out in Audible. Delightful charming great to go to sleep bye thank you

MOST ENJOYABLE SERIES! Read in order to follow the thread

Well written. Extremely well read with Parker's remarkable voicing of each character's nuance. Stories are complex with mystery and murder while filled with witty and intriguing human experiences. And complicated love scenarios of course.
Very enjoyable.

Fun As Always

So far all the Bunburry Mystery episodes have been great fun - from storylines, to narrations, & mysteries with very relevant themes. Another great listen! Looking forward to the next one.
