Bunburry 4-6

A Cosy Mystery Compilation

De: Helena Marchmont

Narrado por: Nathaniel Parker

Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this new series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry. Here, 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.

This compilation contains episodes 4 - 6.

DEATH OF A LADIES' MAN:

The summer tourist season is in full swing. Among the visitors is Mario Bellini, a gelateria owner with film-star good looks, who is considering opening an ice-cream parlour in Bunburry. But shortly after his arrival, he is found dead - a tragic accident, or something more sinister?

DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS:

Deb's Beauty Salon becomes the last resting place for merry widow and property magnate Eve Mosby, whose passions include haute couture and a young lover. Plenty of people disliked Mrs Mosby, but enough to kill her?

MURDER IN HIGH PLACES:

Oscar will brave the Cotswolds for the first time! Alfie has tried for months to convince his best friend to visit him - but when a glamorous High Society Party in honour of celebrated actor Dorian Stevens is announced, Oscar just can't resist. He is - after all - Dorian's greatest fan and can't wait to meet his hero. But the evening at the lovely Saville mansion takes a murderous turn...

I’m becoming hooked…

The series is growing on me even more as I listen along! It’s a different format than I am used to and I like how there is not so much discussion regarding all the potential suspects. The personal story is being developed along with the mysteries in an enjoyable way. It’s a terrific blend of a love story and old family history and current mysteries that need solving.

I have really enjoyed this series so far but I refuse to use up a credit for a 3 and 1/2 hour story! I did buy the ones that combined episodes! Nathaniel Parker is a great narrator for the series!! Hopefully Audible will combine other episodes so a person doesn’t feel like they’ve been robbed!!!

Adore the setting and characters

Wonderful interaction between the characters! Love that Oscar had a larger part in the story

Love the storyline

I liked the narration and the story. The characters are vivid and with the narration. Can visualize the story.
