Publisher's summary

A charming bed-and-breakfast. A diabolical murder. A guest with a secret to hide....

The prestigious Lavender bed-and-breakfast in Chiddlinghurst, England, has stylish decor, lovely gardens, and a deadly problem.

Norah Travis, a beautiful young woman, has been found murdered in one of their rooms. Detective Inspector Graham, a crusader for justice with a penchant for tea and a dark side of his own, is assigned to the case.

The jocular proprietors, Amelia and Cliff, seem to have nothing to hide, but the same cannot be said for their longtime guest Tim. Then, there’s the bitter ex-husband, the tight-lipped housekeeper, and a doddering old man....

There’s no shortage of suspects, but Graham’s instincts lead him to investigate Norah’s mysterious past. And a heinous secret soon comes to light that just might be worth killing for.

The Case of the Screaming Beauty is the first book in this best-selling traditional British detective mystery series with a modern twist. Fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, and CSI will want to share a sip of tea with Detective Inspector Graham and his team as they become like friends.

I really enjoyed reading to book on my own, but hearing it really was a treat! It was as though I was right there in the mix. Great reading!

Excellent Mystery

I enjoyed this first book in the "Inspector David Graham Mysteries" series. Once the audiobook started, I was so absorbed that I had to listen until the end. This book introduced Inspector David Graham. The mystery was well crafted, and I liked trying to pick out the clues needed to solve the murder. The characters were personable and realistic. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Matt Jamie's narration was great, and his performance enhanced my entertainment of the story. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Disappointing mystery

This mystery was very disappointing. The mystery itself made no sense at all (and I mean at all. It was so stupid!) and the characters were inconsistent. Of course we have to have a brooding detective with a tragic past. Please. The performance was good but overall I wish I hadn't wasted money and time on this title. Will not be listening to any more in this series.
