Mydworth Mysteries - A Cosy Historical Mystery Series 9

By: Matthew Costello, Neil Richards

Narrated by: Nathaniel Parker

From the authors of the best-selling series Cherringham.

It's Midsummer in Mydworth - and celebrated medium Bellamy Smythe is in town with his lucrative supernatural show, claiming he can contact the departed. Still deep in mourning from the loss of her father in the Great War, spinster Alice Wetherby is desperate to make contact with 'The Other Side' and Smythe is happy to oblige - even though Alice is quite broke. Suspecting that Alice is being played, Harry and Kat investigate. As the Midsummer festivities intensify, they find themselves in a game of high stakes deception and clever tricks, where nothing is what it seems, and everyone is a suspect...

The twists

Did not disappoint at all loved the storyline the narration and the twists in the plot-love surprises

Fun cosy mystery

I enjoy having a Mydworth Mystery on while I’m cleaning, doing dishes or other chores, it makes the work go faster. They are light listens that are entertaining.

another delightful book in the series.

I wish there were more books in thus series. I didn't expect it to end so abruptly. I will truly miss it. it was a wonderful and fun, well written series of stories.

Exceptional Blend

This is my all time favorite Cozy Mystery Series. Well written, touch of Romance, well developed characters, great intriguing pots and perfectly narrated. I hope they write as many Mydworth as they have Cherrigham.

Good read!

The mystery in this episode centers around unmasking a charlatan. An acclaimed medium has been invited to Mydworth by a woman living in genteel poverty who desperately wants to communicate with her dead father (or even her brothers who died in The Great War). A friend asks the pair to debunk this crook and the sleuthing begins.
Whether you've kept up with this series, haven't read one in over a year, or never read one at all, I guarantee that you'll be as caught up in this as I was. And they make a great background while doing mindless tasks or sitting and waiting!
Nathaniel Parker brings the characters alive and adds to the suspense!
