In Love And Murder

An Oxford Murder Mystery (Bridget Hart, Book 4)

By: M S Morris

Narrated by: Esther Wane

Deception. Death. A deal with the devil.

When Dr. Nathan Frost, a lecturer in German literature at Oxford University, is invited to a lavish party at the country house of a wealthy businessman, he knows there'll be a price to pay. After all, as an expert on the legend of Faust and Mephistopheles, he can recognize a deal with the devil easily enough. But even he's not expecting such a sinister end to the evening.

Called to investigate a suspicious death at a country house, Detective Inspector Bridget Hart is surprised to find a government minister among the party guests. Her team must navigate powerful interests to find the truth. But in a world of favors, backhanders, and corruption, nothing is as it seems and nobody can be trusted.

The characters are great

I have listened to all the books up to this point in the series. The storyline is a bit predictable and maybe even a little anticlimactic. That being said, the narrator is wonderful and pleasant to listen to. She captures the characters personality perfectly and it makes the series easy to love.

Great characters, plot and setting!

I love this series. Characters are well developed, narration excellent and Oxford University setting a bonus! I’m an academic in US, and find the contrasts and history fascinating.

Good mystery

Slight but rather obvious missteps at times. However I really enjoy this author! It will not allow me to post unless I have fifteen words. What’s that about?

Kept me guessing and easy to follow

I enjoyed visiting Oxford and like to relive a bit of experience there while I garden. The author and narrator give me a good listen.

One book is better than the other

I feel like I know each character in person and that I am walking around Oxford in every twist. So good!
