The Secrets of Mead

An English Village Mystery

By: Michaela James

Narrated by: Agnes McCreath

Mead’s new detective Craig Monroe discovers that idyllic cottages, stunning countryside, and quintessential garden parties are a facade for something dark and sinister. Solving a local doctor’s murder intensifies when Mead’s inhabitants prove to be complex, quirky, and cantankerous.

A veteran detective, Monroe is not surprised by motives of revenge, lust, and betrayal...but here’s something bigger. Something buried so deep that Craig may never uncover the truth.

One thing is certain: The village is harboring many secrets - some sad, some sordid, and some decades in the making.

What are the residents of Mead hiding, and how is it possible for one small village to have so many secrets?

Can detective Craig Monroe determine who killed Doctor Jude Ryland, and in doing so, will he discover the secrets of Mead?

Loved discovering The Secrets Of Mead

This book reminds me of Midsomer Murders, where lots of characters have motive to murder, while also being quite reluctant to share information with a detective. Craig Monroe, the new Mead detective, has to deal with the residents while trying to piece together the facts behind the murder of a local doctor. Something was still missing. Then, up pops the surprising secret in Mead's past. This audiobook has great characters and a wonderful narration. It kept me eagerly listening and listening.

The Secrets of Mead

I enjoyed this book a lot! Agnes McCreath was a very fine narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.' 

Didn't see it coming!

I loved this story! The people of Meade are truly bizarre with their actions...but I loved the character of Sydney.. she was lovely and just funny..what surprised me in the end...was what this was actually about! It's a subject that really isn't talked about much and CAN YOU IMAGINE!!
The narration in this audiobook is fantastic! I loved the voice and easy to tell the difference between characters. It was a kind and soothing voice...I highly recommend!

A very odd detective story. I forced myself to listen to the first part of this - even slowed down the reading speed. This.
helped.
"herding cats?" First half of book- cannot explain why I was still listening. Then we turned a corner, the murder was a murder.
The author brings it all home. We jumped to another dimension. It made sense. I'm already planning to listen to this again.
Will any of you like this? :-)

Great read!

Highly enjoyable mystery where the bad guy can’t be figured out until the end. Interesting characters and plot is intriguing. Narration ads a great dimension to the story and brings it to life.
