Cherringham - A Cosy Crime Series Compilation

Cherringham 13-15

By: Matthew Costello, Neil Richards

Narrated by: Neil Dudgeon

Jack's a retired ex-cop from New York, seeking the simple life in Cherringham. Sarah's a Web designer who's moved back to the village find herself. But their lives are anything but quiet as the two team up to solve Cherringham's criminal mysteries. This compilation contains episodes 13 - 15:

A Lesson in Murder:
When Jack and Sarah are called in to investigate mysterious pranks at Cherringham Girls School, it seems at first that it might be the work of a few mean pupils with a grudge. But things quickly turn serious when a popular teacher meets a sudden, violent death.

The Secret of Combe Castle:
When the penniless FitzHenrys find themselves victims of a threatening campaign to oust them from their ancestral home, Jack and Sarah are called in to track down the culprit. Soon they discover that truth is often stranger than fiction, and in Combe Castle things do indeed go bump in the night...

A Fatal Fall:
Dylan McCabe - a labourer on a rushed Cherringham building project - has been complaining about the site's lack of safety. When he's discovered dead after a fall, it seems that Dylan's own warnings were all too true. Jack and Sarah get involved, and suddenly what looks like an accident, becomes a case of cold-blooded murder.

Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick listen for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa. 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. 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".©2017 Bastei Lübbe (P)2017 Lübbe Audio

New Favorite Books

These are my new favorite books! They are very well written, although the "who did it" is usually quite clear early on. I love Jack's easy way of doing things. These are just a good easy read! I highly recommend them!

Wish I could visit Cherringham

enjoyable simple series

my wife and I like to listen to these simple stories at night. make sure you listen in order

favorite new series

Love this series! Wasn't sure at beginning but once I started I kept ordering

I like the format!

The narrators American accent isn’t too bad. But I love the characters and the short story format.

Sound Is An Issue

Usually I give this series all 5's in a review. The volume on these stories makes me hesitant to buy the next books. The narrator raises and lowers his voice for emphasis, but to an extreme where the toop volume is so loud that I needed to turn it down.
Then, when in the next sentence, he would all but whisper, I couldn't hear what he said.
If I turned it back up, I would be startled by a shout. This was constantl throughout the book. Soooo annoying!
Surely there is a way for Audible to edit this? Does Audible read these reviews?

Wonderful Series

Have listened to all the books to this point and have been captivated by the diversity of the stories and development of the characters. Neil Dudgeon is amazing!! He really puts it all together with his awesome narration, just love it! So refreshing to find books that have interesting plots, like able and believable characters in family friendly settings. Modern plots that include current topics of interest.

Love these Cherringham stories!

They can't offer new stories - chapters - fast enough for me. Every month I find I'm hoping there is a new one available. More, please?
