Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this new series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry.
Alfie McAlister has retreated from London to the peace and quiet of the country to recover from a personal tragedy. But an accidental death - which may have been no accident - reveals that the heart of England is far from the tranquil backwater he imagined. After arriving in Bunburry, he is co-opted as an amateur detective by Liz and Marge, two elderly ladies who were best friends with Alfie's late Aunt Augusta. And it is not long before their investigations take an even more dramatic turn ...
In "Murder at the Mousetrap," the first Bunburry book, fudge-making and quaffing real ale in the local pub are matched by an undercurrent of passion, jealousy, hatred and murder - laced with a welcome dose of humour.
Nathaniel Parker, born in 1962, graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Fantastisk skådespelare som läser / agerar karaktärerna. Enda anledningen till att jag inte ger full poäng är att själva berättelsen spretar något. Jag tänker lyssna vidare, det borde ni också göra.

Nathaniel Parker also narrates the Mydworth series but I must say I prefer him here. The mystery is just as cosy as one would expect, with colourful characters and copious amounts of tea and gin.

Ultra british feel-good murder mystery with a great narrator.
