Murder at Raven's Edge

An English Village Mystery, Book 1

By: Louise Marley

Narrated by: Christopher Bonwell

When Milla Graham returns to her childhood home of Raven's Edge after eighteen long years away, she finds the perfect English village looks much the same–all rose-covered cottages, nosy neighbors, and chintzy teashops full of scones and gossip.

But her nostalgic visit takes a dark turn when the body of a local woman is discovered in an abandoned manor house on the edge of the forest. The murder scene is chillingly close to that of Milla’s own mother, whose death was never solved. As she begins to investigate the connection, Milla realizes this adorable village is guarding some dark secrets.

Handsome, grumpy local policeman Ben Taylor doesn't believe in coincidences, and he doesn’t think mysterious newcomer Milla Graham is as innocent as she seems. Why is she really here in Raven’s Edge, and how come she keeps turning up at his crime scenes, causing trouble? Can he solve this murder case without losing himself–or his heart–to the rather distracting Miss Graham?

When another body is found, everyone becomes a suspect–from the barmaid at the local pub to Milla Graham herself. It seems that in Raven's Edge, not everybody is as friendly, or as innocent, as they first seem.

This picture-perfect English village is full of rumor, romance...and murder! A gripping, funny, absolutely binge-worthy murder mystery, which is perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Fiona Leitch and M.C. Beaton.

Excellent narrator and story plot

Enjoyed this very much. I thought I had the mystery figured out about 2/3 of the way through. But no…the final few chapters were great!

Practically perfect

Great British mystery. Entertaining and fun. Pleasantly delivered by a talented reader. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves the genre.

Didn’t want it to end!

The storyline is nothing short of brilliant, unfolding as the reader is drawn in, unsuspecting. And the narration is all one can hope for!
Five stars for this one!

Excellent.

Well written mystery told from multi-d view points. Kept me guessing till the end. I will definitely read the other two in the series.

Solid Plot

Fabulous story with fairy tale references. The thoughts and imagination that went into the story were addictive. I listened to the entire book in one day.
