Fake Death

A British Cozy Murder Mystery with a Female Amateur Sleuth

By: Victoria Tait

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

One dead body. Multiple identities. Can an amateur sleuth see through the charade before she becomes the next victim?

Young widow Dotty Sayers is delighted with her new auction house job in Britain’s picturesque Cotswolds, until she discovers she’s about to lose her home and her chance at a fresh start. Disguising her disappointment, she reluctantly takes part in an autumn parade, but the day’s pageantry is tarnished when an unknown man is found dead.

The police ask Dotty to appraise items from the victim’s home, but rather than learning his name, she uncovers a trail of false identities. When one of them leads to a client, her search for the truth takes a fatal turn.

Can Dotty unmask the killer before she becomes the next victim?

Fake Death is the first book in the Dotty Sayers Antique Mystery series, a British cozy set in the Cotswolds among an auction house and close-knit village community. Featuring a young military widow turned amateur sleuth who is still finding her feet and building a found family, it delivers a clue driven mystery with multiple identities and no graphic content, perfect for readers who enjoy traditional whodunnits, antiques, and small town secrets with a modern, character focused touch.

Wholesome

I love this series. It is an easy listen with well rounded characters. Perfect with a hot cuppa and some biscuits.

Computer generated Voice fails to please

The computer generated voice with which this book was read, had the same pitch volume and timber for every character. It became difficult for me to tell the characters apart: who is speaking at this time and who is not. The book may have a fine plot, but it failed to engage me, and I will not order any of the subsequent sequels to the book

A Basic sleuth story

The story was very basic and the characters, especially the main one, were a bit pathetic. The book may have seemed better had a human narrated it. The narration was awful, speaking where there should be a pause, pausing where there shouldn’t be one. Raising the voice slightly when it should be lowered. It made it confusing to listen to, trying to understand who was actually talking and in what context. I won’t listen to another book without human narration.
