Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this new series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry.
Alfie McAlister has retreated from London to the peace and quiet of the country to recover from a personal tragedy. But an accidental death - which may have been no accident - reveals that the heart of England is far from the tranquil backwater he imagined. After arriving in Bunburry, he is co-opted as an amateur detective by Liz and Marge, two elderly ladies who were best friends with Alfie's late Aunt Augusta. And it is not long before their investigations take an even more dramatic turn ... In "Murder at the Mousetrap," the first Bunburry book, fudge-making and quaffing real ale in the local pub are matched by an undercurrent of passion, jealousy, hatred and murder - laced with a welcome dose of humour.
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 Inspector Lynley Mysteries, based on the novels by Elizabeth George. Nathaniel Parker has an extensive list of audio books to his credit, ranging from the classics of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy to more modern writings and children's books.

Småmysig. Men lite väl kort.

Fullständigt älskar dessa böcker! Det finns väldigt få böcker som gör att jag skrattar högt, den här serien är en av dem. Förutom det är de ganska korta men helt klart värt varenda minut att lyssna på.

One comment; Warning… The author made this a female man. Because she doesn’t understand men. So ; He’s wichywashy, pathetic and spineless. A scared rabbit that runs from his past, present and the future. Tiniest setback and he folds like a wet worm. Sometimes she can’t get the story forward if he doesn’t take action, and when that happens it’s so strange, because the sentence before he was a frozen scardiecat. 🤦🏻♀️Warning no 2; The authors way of making the books last, is to have the man not set the record straight when lies are told or things assumed, for many chapters / several books. She’s clearly a fan of the tv-series “Glamour” = no personal relations ever gets sorted out. I’ve sat through all 15 books because Oscar is Devine. 15 books and A still hasn’t had a straight talk with E, and they’re still not together. 😑

Jag är ingen älskare av noveller men tycker den var helt ok. Lagom att lyssna på när jag inte kan sova

Mycket bra kortdeckare, med fin introduktion till en serie och en viss litterär ambition (hänvisning till Mousetrap/Christie). Mycket väl inläst av Nathaniel Parker. Njutning. Glad att det finns flera delar.
