Murder in the Morning

A Melissa Craig Mystery, Book 2

By: Betty Rowlands

Narrated by: Joan Walker

Cream teas, buttered crumpets, and a very curious crime…

Melissa Craig is settling in nicely to a new teaching position in the quaint little village of Upper Bembury, getting to know her way around, drinking tea with the eccentric staff, even sewing the first seeds of romance....

But when she arrives one morning to find police outside her classroom, Melissa is shocked to hear that her beautiful colleague Angelica has been found dead in her home. As everyone in Angelica’s life comes under suspicion, Melissa makes it her mission to go in search of the truth, not least because she’s romantically entangled with none other than the police’s prime suspect.

The discovery of a vandalized portrait of the murdered girl might be just the clue that Melissa needs to clear her lover’s name, but when a second body surfaces, she knows she needs to act quickly. Can Melissa uncover the ugly truth in this beautiful village before another innocent life is taken?

Do you love murder mysteries by Agatha Christie, P.D. James, and Faith Martin? If so, you'll really enjoy listening to this puzzling and absolutely page-turning whodunit!

Second in series Loved It!

Still love the writing and story teller
Looking forward to Book 3
I love the view the writer gives us of her mystery writers cottage in the Cotswolds

the voice artist can have a beautiful voice,...but

the voice artist can have a beautiful voice,...but

while acting different roles uses; annoying, whiny, high pitched, grating, squeaky vocal tones, very unpleasant. this narrator can speak and modulate her voice very pleasingly, not sure who is art directing this voice artist’s work, but this actor can use some feedback to modulate her performance

Could not stop listening

Really wonderful story, great character development and the imagery so vivid! Can’t wait to listen to book 3

Great Story

At last a half way decent mystery. There were areas of the story where I rolled my eyeballs and said, oh please, but over all I really liked the book and Melissa. The ending made up for and oh please moments for me LOL. I will be getting the next book and hopefully the rest

great author

just love this author! All her stories make sense and end with a surprise ending that works perfectly.
I have to make myself try different books.
