The Body in the Woods

A Cherringham Mystery 2

De: Matthew Costello, Neil Richards

Narrado por: Neil Dudgeon

It's Carnival week in Cherringham, but while most of the locals are looking forward to the regatta, the parade and the fireworks, Jack and Sarah are more interested in the mysterious body that's been uncovered at the archaeological dig just outside the village ... No Roman soldier - but a young man, no ID. Definitely the victim of a cold blooded murder ... from just a few decades ago. It's a baffling cold case - but one that soon heats up when a member of the carnival committee suddenly goes missing. Jack and Sarah investigate - and quickly come up against a wall of silence.

Are the two cases connected? What dark secret from Cherringham's past is being kept hidden? As the Carnival rolls to its spectacular finale, Jack and Sarah race against time to stop the murderer before they kill again ...

For fans of Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple" series, Lilian Jackson Braun's "The Cat Who" series, Caroline Graham's "Midsomer Murders", and the American TV series "Murder She Wrote", starring Angela Lansbury.

Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid 90's, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and - most recently - the successful crime fiction series "Cherringham". First released as eBook novellas, this is the second full-length novel. "Cherringham" is popular around the world and has been adapted as a series of audiobooks in both English and German. The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of DCI John Barnaby in "Midsomer Murders" and Jim Riley in "The Life of Riley". He is also known for his film roles in "The Nativity", "Sorted" and "Son of Rambow". In 2012 Dudgeon starred as Norman Birkett on BBC Radio 4's "Afternoon Play" series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

longer, but still great!

this one just goes to show that the authors know how to use their time to best effect. I hope they'll write new ones soon!

Another hit from Costello, Richards & Dudgeon!

Please don't stop writing these delightful stories. and Neil Dudgeon.... perfection!
I'm so glad I found this wonderful series!

Great audiobook

I was glad that I was able to find more stories from the author. I love the detail.

Read in this order

really like this series but is confusing with no list of the right order to listen. After episode 24 and its cliffhanger skip to full length Dead in the Water. Then 25- 27, then this, then back to 28-31.

Next in Series

This wonderful Cosy Mystery should be read RIGHT AFTER DEAD IN THE WATER.

For those of us who are aficionados of Jack and Sarah this is the next in Sequence and then return to the Compilation for Grace's wedding and the rest of the lives of these super people!

Never disappoint

Can always count on Cherringham and the sleuthing to entertain. Never miss the mark with a stellar performance narration.

Good murder mystery without a lot of gore

Fun story line, really enjoyed the main characters, narrator does a great job. For those that don't like detailed murder scenes, you will enjoy this book.

Amazing story, weird audio issue

This is a great story like always. Beware, the first chapter is loud, then the rest of the book is super quiet. Otherwise it’s everything you’d expect from Jack and sarah 💖

deeply entriging!

loved it! already bought the rest of the series. jack and Sarah are a great team!

Jack and Sarah back in a delightful story.

After a long series of short stories we have some novel length installments of the Jack and Sarah duo. This story is delightful with sufficient twists and turns to keep the listener's interest. The preforms is great - Dudgeon does exactly as we expect. The voices are consistent for Jack and Sarah through all the stories, and in this story again, the various characters are also consistent and unique enough to separate, and follow who's talking.

Recommended.
