A dispute between an ambitious entrepreneur--who wishes to turn the town's venerable Springwood Hall into a trendy hotel--and the locals turns deadly, and Chief Inspector Markby and Meredith Mitchell step in to investigate.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Ann Granger has lived in cities all over the world, since for many years she worked for the Foreign Office and received postings to British embassies as far apart as Munich and Lusaka. She is now permanently based in Oxfordshire.
Judith Boyd's warm, slightly vibrato voice heightens the appeal of this delightful addition to Granger's popular English mystery series, featuring Chief Inspector Markby and his friend, Meredith Mitchell. This time the grand opening of a new country hotel is marred by the discovery of a recently murdered body on the premises. Trouble all around, and much fun for the listener. Boyd's mastery of regional accents highlights the characters' varying backgrounds. Her careful pacing lets the story unfold with a natural rhythm--one can almost follow the characters around in one's imagination. The only criticism is that occasionally Boyd's narrative voice cannot be distinguished from the voice given to Mitchell, but the slips are not a big problem. Prepare to curl up and listen happily.
