Perils in Yorkshire

British Book Tour Mysteries, Book 3

By: Emma Dakin

Narrated by: Bianca Amato

Claire Barclay, owner of a mystery book tour company, collects three women at the Manchester airport who have flown in from Tucson, Arizona, then starts on a tour of Yorkshire and the sites of mystery novels. She meets the rest of the tour in York: two British couples and Phillip, a single man.

Claire has scheduled stops at sites of interest, starting with the York Chocolate Factory. Here, in pursuit of Phillip who will not stick with the tour, she finds the body of a security guard. She cannot see any connection with her tour and leaves York, driving the group up on the moors and stopping at the famous Ralph's Cross where moorland stretches for miles. Here, her American ladies report the sudden death of Phillip in the surrounding bog.

Detective Inspector Mark Evans, a friend of Phillip's and Claire's significant other, investigates. Mark tells her Phillip worked for Scotland Yard and was on the trail of a drug distribution scheme. Claire is determined her Tucson ladies will not be dragged into the murder inquiry or any other police investigation, but they are determined they will. They are intelligent, expert mystery novel fans, and observant. They precipitate Claire and themselves into a confrontation with the murderer.

So comfortable

This was the third book in this series and I wish it would continue. All of the stories and characters are very interesting and relatable as well as the details of the sites and surrounding areas……

loved and will miss!

Prefect and relaxing! I wish there was more, I'll miss
the series 🩷 Thank you

Great idea for other books

I love how the author introduces other authors. I like this series, because the characters seem more real. A great listen, narrative is fantastic!

bit heavy for a cozy but writing is excellent

this author definitely has an agenda and, while as a healthcare professional, it's an agenda I completely agree with, I (bcos of the stress of working in the field) prefer to avoid even thinking about that debate. so, if you also have chosen cozies due to a stressful career, you may find this series also sits on the outer edge of your tolerance (in terms of relaxation).
but the writing is excellent and I think this series would be ideal for a long roadtrip

Exceptional narrator and beautifully visceral language

The narration justly brings forth the artfully crafted language, including the turn of a phrase and colloquial Welsh.
