But nothing is as it seems at the mysterious Willow Marsh Manor. They soon realize they've come across this feuding family before - in the direst of circumstances. With no dead body and no sign of the woman who summoned them, Woods fears someone has planned a murderous revenge.

Meanwhile, Lavender dreads the disclosure of his greatest secret. A secret that, if revealed, will destroy both his career - and his relationship with Woods.

Always Anticipate Next Lavender and Ned novel

I began reading this series but have come to love the narrated audio versions better, as I can listen as I walk or commute and be entertained. Michael Page puts so much personality into each of the characters that it is a real joy to just lose yourself in each book. Best to listen to something else if you are driving in traffic!
Karen Charlton is a gifted and creative author and I wish her a wealth of plot scenarios for her next books in this series.

Great characters and narration

To many convoluted family dynamics made it a bit of a soapy opera. Stick with the characters at the core of previously compelling narratives.

another cracking mystery

Great mystery as is this entire series.
Do yourself a favor and listen to all of them

Another wonderful tale!

The storyline has nods to previous books and further strengthens the characters of Woods and Lavender. The narration was impeccable and an absolute delight!

WILLOW MARSH MURDER

Excellent! I have devoured every one of Mrs. Charlton's books and enjoyed every one. She outdid herself with the mysterious twists in this one. I sincerely hope she doesn't desert this series for her new one. This is my favorite historical period. Inspector Lavender and Constable Woods cannot be abandoned!
