The Trust

By: M.H. Eccleston

Narrated by: Ruth Redman

Ever so wholesome. Ever so deadly....

When a local man is found murdered in an English Trust stately home, the community is shaken to its core. None more so than newcomer Astrid Swift, who finds the body. When she moved from London to the sleepy Dorset village and got a job at the house as an art restorer, she thought she was heading for a quieter life. Far from it. Because it turns out that rather than being the genteel organisation it seems on the surface, the Trust is a hotbed of politics and intrigue. As Astrid's new friend Kath from the village says: 'It's like the mafia, but with scones.'

As the suspicious deaths mount up and the threat draws closer, Astrid must use every gadget in her restorer's toolkit to solve the mystery, save her reputation—and maybe even her life. Thrilling, funny and addictive, The Trust is perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Robert Thorogood and Clare Chase.

Absolutely loved it!!!

Stumbled across this book by accident but it had me hooked straight away, funny well written and a great whodunnit.

Witty and Well-written!

The characters were delightful and the story was interesting. It propels you along. No lulls or boring spots. Narration was awesome and engaging. Light-hearted, reflective, and funny with a decent who-dun-it to boot. I enjoyed it!

Perfect Suspense Novel

I loved this heroine and the story was suspenseful, funny and heartwarming. The narrator was perfect, also.

Surprisingly Entertaining

The Trust is an entertaining cozy mystery with engaging characters and an interesting plot. I look forward to the next book.

A new (to me) author is so exciting

This book was a real surprise. I was prepared for something forgettable but discovered a likable protagonist , lovely setting, and lots of quirky friends.
A great plot, a wonderful performance -a real delight!
