About this listen

Dr Nell Ward is an ecologist, not a detective. But when she's the prime suspect in a murder, only her unique set of skills could help to clear her name....

In the sleepy village of Cookingdean, Dr Nell Ward is busy working in the grounds of a local manor house. Whilst inspecting an old tunnel, she did not expect to overhear a murder. As the only person with any clues as to what happened, Nell soon finds herself in the middle of the investigation.

Desperate to clear her name Nell, along with her colleague Adam, set out solving the murder using their skills as ecologists to uncover details no one else would notice. But it soon becomes clear that playing Agatha Christie is much harder than it might, at first appear....

The start of an exciting new cosy crime series—perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Fiona Leitch, Faith Martin and The Appeal.

Great narration kind of a meh story

The story started strong but it kept being muddled but silly character choices and the love triangle that wouldn’t stop. I wanted more amateur detective…it was a bit of a slog to get through in the end

Ecology and the environment win

A good murder mystery with strong female character. Great story. I recommend. The scientist is intelligent and doesn’t back down. And wins.

Truly delightful and fascinating

I've been looking for a new series. This is perfect. Really interesting, well narrated, and supremely relevant.

I enjoyed!

I enjoyed the storyline and characters! The mystery was tough to solve so it was a mystery! I would say that this book is for a woman to read not so much a man.

Bats, Badgers, & Mice

This was an interesting and fun read. I’m not into ecology, and yet, reading tidbits about bats, badgers, and mice was fun and helped to put a murder exactly where he belongs. The narration is good and exciting. The story moved along with twists and turns.

Twists and turns

The twists and turns in this story were so amazing. I also loved the narrater’s accents, tones, and fluency. Great book to hear.

I was really enjoying this…

Even though the cliched “blind cops” was in use, I liked the story. Then, I had to endure the silly “does he/she really love me” got to be too much. Except for the last 2 hours, I enjoyed it.

Exciting 1st book in a mystery series

I was charmed by Nell Ward’s ecological survey work and what I learned about the long-eared golden bat. The afterward about the reality of this rare creature is the best ending for the book.
This is a well-paced first book by the author and i am eager to listen to a second. My only complaint is with the repetition of phrases like “her stomach churned” or someone”gaped” a few too many times.
