Death Trap

Cherringham. A Cosy Crime Series - Mystery Shorts 32

By: Matthew Costello, Neil Richards

Narrated by: Neil Dudgeon

When Edward Townes - famed writer of novels about knights and maids, and castles and conquering - attends a medieval launch party for his latest book, he arrives ready to do more than celebrate. But party night brings a blizzard, a once-in-a-century storm that sees Townes staggering home, alone... only to be found dead the next day. With Cherringham cut-off and the blizzard still raging, Jack and Sarah start investigating. Their questions reveal that many of those still stranded in the dark village have secrets. And Townes' killer is still in the village...

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 read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.

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'. He is also known for his film roles in 'The Nativity', 'Sorted' and 'Son of Rambow'. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as 'Norman Birkett' on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

I Love Snowstorms

Even in the middle of a big snowstorm, Jack and Sarah solve the murder. Mmmm

Great winter cozy

Classic mystery in the snowed in village of Cherringham. Jack and Sarah get caught up in the murder of an author who has made life so unpleasant for a number of people at his book signing that there are many suspects. As snow falls, Jack and Sarah attempting discover the murderer. Love the audiobook with great narration by Neil Dudgeon.

Always Wonderful

Love listening to Cherringham books. They are fun, light, interesting, and filled with great characters. Neil Dudgeon is awesome too!

Surprising revelations

A medieval revel during a snowstorm uncovers a lot of inconvenient truths and a dead writer in the stocks. Good sleuthing!

enjoyed again

I have enjoyed all of this series - stories and narration!

Cozy mystery listeners: start with 1 and listen to them all. (I recommend buying the sets, when possible.)

I do wish chapters were titled with numbered divisions in this audio series.
