Murder in Moreton

Eliza Thomson Investigates, Book 2

By: VL McBeath

Narrated by: Nicola Victoria Vincent

A cantankerous old woman…. A mysterious death.… Not what Eliza had planned for her first week back in Moreton….

Eliza Thomson is back in Moreton after nearly 30 years away. Her best friend Connie is eager to introduce her to the villagers, but their excitement vanishes when they bump into the ill-tempered Mrs. Milwood.

Days later, when Mrs. Milwood is found dead, the evidence confirms she was murdered...and there are no shortage of suspects.

With the finger of suspicion pointing at a childhood friend, Eliza is keen to clear her name. But an inspector from New Scotland Yard has other ideas. He won't have her interfering with the investigation.

Refusing to sit by and do nothing, Eliza and Connie make it their business to unravel the secrets of this sleepy English village...but will the police accept their evidence and bring the right person to justice?

If you like Miss Marple-style murder mysteries, and historical heroines with attitude, you’ll love this step-back-in-time cozy series.

So enjoyed this story. I wish audible had the first book but enough information was offered during the book. Nicely narrated and now the next installment.

Not realistic for the era

This book would appeal to listeners who don't require realistic social conventions of the era. Everyone acts like people of today. Bothered me, but may appeal to others who want characters who act modern but drive carriages. Also, police begging for the help of a young married women to solving a murder with them? Yah, right.
