Murder at Midwinter Farm

A Miss Underhay Mystery, Book 22

By: Helena Dixon

Narrated by: Karen Cass

A completely unputdownable cozy British mystery novel

A frosty country lane, snow-dusted Devon hills as far as the eye can see…and a local farmer vanished without trace. Can Kitty Underhay solve this chilling mystery?

Devon, 1937. Kitty Underhay is enjoying a crisp winter morning walk with her best friend, Alice, and her fiancé, Robert, who have recently bought the mysterious Midwinter Farm. The previous owner vanished one night, his dinner still on the table and the front door left wide open. But as work is carried out on the farm, a body is found in the grounds. How was the man murdered—and who is responsible?

Robert trusts the local police even less than Kitty does, so she is immediately on the case, with her husband Matt by her side. As the pair take the bull by the horns and begin to gather clues, several suspects emerge. Though he seems gentle as a lamb, is the victim’s son as innocent as he appears? Why does the local pub landlord have an axe to grind, and does his daughter seem suspicious?

The waters become muddied by a robbery, with valuable jewels stolen at neighbouring Seacliffe Hall. Is the thief also the murderer Kitty is looking for? Or are the two crimes entirely unconnected?

With the weak winter sun setting over the fields and danger mounting fast, Kitty and Matt need to find the killer, before they meet their own icy end in the dead of winter....

Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey, or Verity Bright will adore this totally charming murder mystery. The perfect treat for cozy crime fans!

Mystery Maven

Interesting story lines that came together with some surprises. This author and narrator are always reliable and I highly recommend the entire series.

Tired of the formula

Comforting to know the characters, but there’s nothing new here and I listened with half an ear

I think I’ll be taking a break from Kitty and Matt for a bit
