Publisher's summary

Everyone knows the dead woman under the lighthouse, but no one seems to know why she died. What brought the folk-rock star back to Exham on Sea after so many years? Who wanted her dead? Does the key to her murder lie in the town, or far away across the Atlantic?

Libby Forest arrives in Exham to build a new life making cakes and chocolates, and discovers a talent for solving mysteries, helped by Bear, an enormous Carpathian sheepdog, and a cast of local characters. The green fields, rolling hills, and sandy beaches of England's West Country provide a perfect setting for crime, intrigue, and mystery.

Always loved English mysteries.

The story was very interesting, original, and entertaining. The characters were really interesting and intelligent. The narration was really very well done. I look forward to more books by Frances Evesham.

Terrible Narrator!

The story in itself isn’t bad. But the narrator makes it terrible. Almost couldn’t finish the story.

good story, poor narrator

I enjoyed the book, but really struggled with the narrator. I almost didn't finish the book, but it's was a short book. I love series, but I'm skipping book #2 since it's the same narrator.

Nice little cosy

cosy-mystery, England, family-dynamics, friendship, twisty, abusive-spouse, murder, law-enforcement, small-business, small-town

I liked it. More of a novella length which made the task of fitting everything in quite a task for the author. She finds a body and the detective brushes her off when she suggests murder. Then the Medical Examiner weighs in. Not deathless prose but a nice cozy to keep me company while doing household tasks.
Jennifer M. Dixon seemed to be an interested narrator but with allergies making her voice a bit nasal and my midwestern self needed to listen at 1.2 speed (not a complaint).

Evesham: b

I’m so glad to find this story. Evesham has created a well written plot and cast of characters. I hope there are more.

Tea and scones

I am sorry I cannot rate this book and performance better than I have but in all candor it seemed that the more I tried to like this book the worse it grew on my mind. The characters all seemed to be cut from the same cloth as there speech varied little from one character to another. This was difficult to listen to. I do not think that either read or listen to another book in this series. Although I love lighthouses and seascapes this text could have been written about a field in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzTVBPyq4Dw the middle of the English countryside.

Narrator Had A Cold The Whole Book

Production should have postponed the taping of this book for a couple of weeks until the narrator got over her head cold.. she was ubglubby the entire time and would have benefited greatly from a bottle of nose drops, and a good hard blow into Kleenex tissues...

Good one

It was a slow start, but the author tied all the loose strings up quite nicely. Worth it.
