Publisher's summary

Miss Busby investigates a murder at Little Minton.

A picturesque Cotswolds village at Christmas, 1922. A man found face down floating in the lake. He was known to take risks: an insurance salesman—debonair, charming, and sweet-talking.

His clients were all ladies of a certain age, but nothing was as it seemed; he was playing a game, he pushed his luck, he put a price on his head, and somebody decided to collect.

Miss Busby helped Major Heathcliff Lennox solve a series of murders at Bloxford in the Cotswolds. Now, she finds herself drawn into a new murder, but this time, it's just her, and she must rely on her sharp mind and sharper wits to catch a Cotswolds killer, along with a handsome police inspector and a reporter who's keen to make her mark.

Full of twists and turns, Miss Busby Investigates: Murder at Little Minton is a real mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. With its strong protagonist and charming Christmas setting, this book is a must-listen for fans of classic whodunits and cozy mysteries alike.

What fun!!

Loved this book. I hope there are more of this wonderful detective (move over Miss Marple!)

A cozy and interesting story!

It gave a wonderful impression of an English village and the kind of people who lived there...

Thoroughly Charming and Full of Promise

Lively and full of nice twists. Great group of characters leaves one wanting and waiting for the next one!
The narrator did an excellent job!

As cozy as a mystery gets!

Christmas, small town, retired teacher and a dead body - enough said! Seriously though, it was a great listen - especially on a dark & rainy day - made it that much better by a marvelous performance of its narrator.
Give it a try! Especially if your preference for cozy mysteries lays in the “cozy” part :)

Where is Lennox?

Some really liked this book, but I found it too sad with these elderly women going ga-ga over an insurance salesman. I listened to it all, but couldn't relate to women acting this way, even in a small village.

Great characters

I’ve listened to all of K. Menuhin’s Heathcliff Lennox mysteries and enjoyed them so much I bought this book without hesitation. It didn’t disappoint. A whole new cast of characters is introduced and they are interesting and entertaining. The mystery is solid, the writing excellent, and the narrator did a fantastic job. I’m not normally inclined to write reviews, and I’m rarely so effusive in my praise, but this author has proven to be consistent in creating engaging characters and good story lines. I’m looking forward to listening to the next book in the series and hoping this series will continue for many more books to come.

Great new book in a new series!

Adorable new cozy mystery by established writer Karen Menuhin and Zoe Markham. The start to an engaging new series. I look forward to many more!!

Loved it!

This new series is starting off in such a lovely way. Enjoyed the older characters and the setting is rich with potential. Can’t wait for another!

A new series?

I love the Heathcliff Lenox stories and was hoping there would be another installment. I decided to give this book a try.

I thought there were a huge amount of characters to keep track of, not only the detective, but also a reporter, a police chief, pets, helpers, other police officers, and the many characters that make up the mystery. All of these characters live in the small town of Little Minton, so I suppose the authors felt it necessary to introduce the town to us. In the end it came together with a pleasant ending. Themes of elderly needs, community, love and loneliness were very clear.

Very much enjoyed

Miss Busby is definitely a more serious character than Heathcliff lol, but the book was excellent, and I hope the series will continue!
