Acerca de esta escucha

Mystery novelist Hazel Martin's maid suspects foul play when her childhood friend Doris jumps from the third-story turret of Farnsworth Abbey. Unable to resist an investigation, especially one that's staged to look like suicide, Hazel calls in help from her chauffeur, her cook, and even the mysterious butler her husband hired before his death.

Hazel soon learns that Doris's death was no accident. Someone had a secret, and they wanted to keep it that way. With her trusty Siamese cat, Dickens, by her side and handsome Detective Chief Inspector Gibson at her disposal, Hazel follows a trail of clues to reveal a surprise twist that even the killer didn't suspect.

Another great mystery! I loved the story and the narration was spot on. Ms. Larkin brings so much life to the characters. Looking forward to see where this series goes.

Cheers for Hazel Martin!

Unlike Alfred Hitchcock where there is predictably to the story along with the suspense of coming to the inevitable, this book is painfully circling what is so incredibly obvious to the reader. It becomes too frustrating watching the obtuseness of the main character who is supposed to be incredibly perceptive. Too much time is spent chasing the characters’ bizarre logic and explaining the reasons for visiting a place or talking to a person. There is such a thing as over spoon feeding your readers with clues. Less explaining, loss the ridiculous obtuseness, and develop the plot and story line better.

Frustrating and predictable

In a way this is a cozy mystery version of Upstairs, Downstairs. It involves Hazel, the wealthy widow crime writer who lives in a mansion, and considers her staff to be her friends. She gets involved in a murder that occurs in another wealthy home, where there are more traditional lines of demarcation between staff and family.

When Doris (a maid in the wealthy Wakefield household and friend of Hazel’s maid) mysteriously falls from a window, Hazel realizes it was murder, not an accident. So she undertakes, with the flimsiest of excuses (doing “research” for a new book) to invite herself into the house to look for clues. She works closely with Inspector Gibson to try to solve the mystery (and leaves the reader wondering if there will be budding romance). There are plenty of suspects.

I think you might read this book because it is light, a quick getaway from heavier things in life—knowing it won’t be a huge challenge to work out the whodunnit part. But the narration is nice, it is a fun listen, and a pleasant way to spend a few hours. Recommend for cozy lovers.

Featherweight listening, but still fun!

The only mystery is how a supposedly intelligent investigator didn’t solve the case immediately. I certainly did.

No mystery here

A reasonable attempt at mystery with an amusing cast of characters. Not much depth to any of them and the sleuth is way too naive. Her missteps seemed intended only to try and make the story longer.






A little too sappy and predictable

This book definitely lacks substance. The interactions of the characters is implausible, The story line isn’t bad, but it’s so under-developed that you have little to wonder about and you’ve figured out the ending halfway through the book. Also, the narration is irritatingly slow.

Definitely not worth spending a point.
