No Place to Hide

Cherringham. A Cosy Crime Series - Mystery Shorts 41

By: Matthew Costello, Neil Richards

Narrated by: Neil Dudgeon

When Ed Finnlay - computer programmer and devoted father of two - goes missing, there's not a lot the local police can do. After all, Ed himself told them he would be gone... for quite some time. As the weeks go by with no news, his wife reaches out to Jack and Sarah for help. But they soon learn that there are odd secrets about this missing husband and that he might not only be gone, but also in serious danger. Can Jack and Sarah do what seems impossible... and find Ed Finlay?

Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.

Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.

The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of "DCI John Barnaby" in Midsomer Murders and "Jim Riley" in The Life of Riley. He is also known for his film roles in The Nativity, Sorted and Son of Rambow. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as "Norman Birkett" on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

Suspence

"No Place To Hide" is a thrilling, listener holding story. The title is a bit contradictory with the story because the "missing man, Ed" had a place to hide. The language of the story is also a mix of American and British phrases, which at times, makes the listener a bit confused as to where the story does take place, until a town or parish or village is mentioned. The narrator, Neil Dudgeon, was a very excellent choice with his easy listening voice and holding the listener's attention with very appropriate intonations and pauses in his reading. Overall, though, a very good suspense story with a happy ending.

Just a well done story

I’ve listened to most of these authors books and have loved them all. I’m in love with the main characters.

Please bring back the intro music!

I always enjoy these adventures of Jack and Sarah. I have gotten quite used to the intro music. I would like to formally request for the director to please bring back the intro.
