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

In Sweet Revenge, the seventh Bunburry book, Alfie is back in London, trying to pick up his old life there. But even a wild social whirl with his best friend Oscar can't disguise the fact that he misses Bunburry. And then a cry for help reaches him - Liz and Marge are in trouble, and Alfie races back. But as he and Police Constable Emma Hollis join forces to clear the ladies' names, he has to confront a growing suspicion. Has Liz made a mistake while making her celebrated fudge, or have the ladies been up to something more sinister?

A visit to Bunburry always a delight...

This cozy series is dependable, soothing, comforting.. with well drawn characters and a neatly drawn
and resolved murder...the narrator, Nathaniel Parker is a terrific conduit for this series.

Another perfect experience!

I loved every minute of this book. it's like being wrapped in a warm blanket with a cup of cocoa. Nathaniel Parker is most definitely the cup of cocoa- deep, silken, sweet chocolate for the ears!!
The story is well written and has an element of Wodehousian humour in the main character Alfie. There are times when Alfie reminds me of Bertie Wooster as he provides just the right amount of comic relief. His best friend, Oscar could easily be Mr. Worthing from
Wilde's 'The Importance of Being Ernest'.
All round great craic!!

Marvelous Entertainment

Weak .. been done story line but

Even with a well used story line still a cute story and liable characters. Nathaniel Parker great.

Cute, Short, Fun

Very light listening. Possibly the best narration of any book I've heard, except for the American accent!

Cozy Mystery

I really enjoy these Bunburry Mystery episodes. They are easy to listen to, and engaging in a light-hearted way. The plot is interesting, even though not very intricate. I listen to them at bedtime; they help me to shed the day's tensions and become restful.

Love!!!!!

I couldn’t possibly love this series more than I do. Well, that’s a lie. I’d love them more if they were longer. Such great stories, and clean as well. I hope Ms. Marchmont (don’t know if that is correct or not) will someday make them longer. And Nathaniel Parker does such a wonderful job at narration! You will love these books I’m sure. You will surely fall in love with the characters.

Thank goodness it is back.

The joy I felt in seeing this series back no words can say. The book didn’t disappoint at all. Super fabulous. If this is your first time reading the series. Lucky you, as you have the others in the series to catch up on. So excited to see 2 more coming out. They have been preordered!!!!

Such a great series!

Cannot wait for the next book! The author is matched equally by the narrator. I wasn't even close to guessing how this would end.
