Murder Fest

Whitstable Pearl Mystery, Book 6

By: Julie Wassmer

Narrated by: Karen Cass

Murder Fest is the sixth instalment in the popular Whitstable Pearl Mystery series, from best-selling author Julie Wassmer.

Pearl’s detective agency takes a back seat as she prepares to offer a warm welcome to a group of special visitors. A local arts festival is being held to honour a cultural exchange visit from representatives of Borken - Whitstable’s Twin Town in Germany.

Yet very soon, personality clashes surface among the participants; local politicians try to use the festival for their own ends, while others jostle for improved billing on the festival programme. Tempers flare, old feuds re-surface, and on the eve of the first event, a cryptic message - Murder Fest - is received by the local police. Before DCI Mike McGuire has a chance to investigate, the festival commences with an unscheduled event when a celebrated author is found brutally murdered....

Soon the only ‘arts’ on display are dark ones, as Whitstable’s celebration of local culture transforms into a real-life murder fest - offering Whitstable’s Pearl Nolan another mystery to solve.

Critic reviews

"Julie Wassmer is the perfect deckchair companion." (Daily Mail)

"If you enjoy cosy crime fiction and you still haven't picked this series, then you are missing out." (Alba in Bookland)

"If you love cosy mysteries, then get acquainted with Pearl (and her mum and her cats!) and enjoy a trip to Whitstable through the eyes of this very convincing author." (Trip Fiction)

Interesting story!

Yet another interesting story. I know I'm getting into it when I start talking to my phone.

A New Narrator-Yay

I thought I was going to have to give up on these because of the previous narrator even though I enjoyed the storylines. But the new narration is so much better and I could just enjoy the cozy mystery and get on with it. This series is a dependable listen. Enjoy.
