Cherringham - A Cosy Crime Series Compilation

Cherringham 1-3

By: Matthew Costello, Neil Richards

Narrated by: Neil Dudgeon

Jack's a retired ex-cop from New York, seeking the simple life in Cherringham. Sarah's a Web designer who's moved back to the village find herself. But their lives are anything but quiet as the two team up to solve Cherringham's criminal mysteries.

This compilation contains episodes 1 - 3: MURDER ON THAMES, MYSTERY AT THE MANOR and MURDER BY MOONLIGHT.

Here Jack and Sarah investigate a suicide in the River Thames - or was it murder? They investigate an "accidental" fire with deadly consequences, and they nab the culprit behind the Rotary Club choir poisoning.

Cherringham is a series à la Charles Dickens, with a new mystery thriller released each month. Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick listen for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.

For fans of Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple series", Lilian Jackson Braun's "The Cat Who series", Caroline Graham's "Midsomer Murders", and the American TV series "Murder She Wrote", starring Angela Lansbury.

Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid 90's, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and - most recently - the successful crime fiction series Cherringham.

The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of "DCI John Barnaby" in "Midsomer Murders" and "Jim Riley" in "The Life of Riley".©2016 Bastei Lübbe (P)2016 Lübbe Audio

Volume issues

Audio was hard to hear often when voice volume dips. Otherwise a good reading and story

Delightful!

These are quaint charming mysteries that keep you guessing to the very last. An added bonus is that they do not contain any offensive language. I’m happy I purchased the complete series.

Cherringham

short who done it stories. easy listening and interesting. I enjoyed all 3 episodes.

Just Delightful!

I am a huge fan of "Midsomer Murders' and this was like having a audio version of the series, with a few modifications.
this is well done. The storylines are simple, and easy to follow. The characters are well drawn but not too complicated.
And having the narration done by DCI Barnaby, well, what more can a girl ask? The only issue is that I had to re-download the book due to sound issues.. but maybe it was just me.

Looking forward to more of this series. A nice break from some of the heavier books on my list.

Cozy

I loved the short stories. Great for commuting.

My only complaint is the narrator - his voice drops at the end of a sentence and you miss what he says. Constantly rewinding or guessing what was said.
