Always Anticipate Next Lavender and Ned novel

I began reading this series but have come to love the narrated audio versions better, as I can listen as I walk or commute and be entertained. Michael Page puts so much personality into each of the characters that it is a real joy to just lose yourself in each book. Best to listen to something else if you are driving in traffic!
Karen Charlton is a gifted and creative author and I wish her a wealth of plot scenarios for her next books in this series.

WILLOW MARSH MURDER

Excellent! I have devoured every one of Mrs. Charlton's books and enjoyed every one. She outdid herself with the mysterious twists in this one. I sincerely hope she doesn't desert this series for her new one. This is my favorite historical period. Inspector Lavender and Constable Woods cannot be abandoned!

The. Best in the series

A good twisting plot that keeps you turning the page. The relationship between Lavender and Woods deepens and we are introduced to the rationale for the next book. I look forward to Lavender sorting out his wife Magdalena’s estate in Spain

Complicated

Wowza. Fantastic with going from past to now and winding the stories together.

Love this team and so sad this is last one for awhile. Please write fast!

Great listening! Well thought out series!

Detective Lavender and Constable Woods are terrific and wish there were many more adventure/mysteries to the series. Go Karen!!

enjoy this series immencly

like, characters well writen and interestin, characterizations by the narrator, engaging story with twists and turns to keep you guessing,

Fabulous Mystery Series

This installment of the detective Lavender series makes of Lavendar a particularly Holmes-esque figure amidst a particularly Christie-esque story. I loved it. And the writing was more straightforward with less superfluous descriptives than some of the prior installments. I’m off to begin the next one straightaway!

I love this series

The characters are so well fleshed out, and I think the narrator does an excellent job of bringing them to life! i love their witty banter back and forth. This series is like a classic mystery from the Golden Age, but with somewhat updated characterizations and emotions (still typical of the time period),all wrapped up with great narration.

Mystery Maven

Well written, excellently performed, however, the story is harrowing, (personal feeling). I did skip portions due to that aspect but overall another hit.

Another winner

I have enjoyed this series the characters are well thought out. I hope the villain is gone this time 😊.
