About this listen

'Satisfyingly intriguing' Faith Martin

'J.M. Hall has mastered the warmth of a perfect modern cosy crime with all the twists and turns that go with it. I really enjoyed it!' Hannah Hendy

Retired schoolteachers and amateur sleuths Liz, Pat and Thelma are giving up their coffee morning for a brand-new mystery.

Retired teachers Pat, Liz and Thelma are happiest whiling away their hours over coffee, cake and chat at the Thirsk Garden Centre café.

But when their good friend tells them about an unsettling experience she had in a sinister-feeling charity shop, they simply can’t resist investigating…

Because the entire shop has vanished into thin air.

Before long, our trio of unlikely sleuths find themselves embroiled in a race against the clock to get to the bottom of this mystery – but who has a secret to hide and how far will they go to keep it concealed?

Only time will tell…

Wonderful book and excellent narration as always, I just love these characters and can’t wait for book 4.

Julie you rock!

I love this series. Beautifully constructed, with realistic characters. What makes this stand out in addition to the writing, is the narration. Julie is a first class narrator. She clearly takes the task seriously and prepares incredibly well. Other books I’ve listened to have been spoiled by ill prepared narrators. Julie has set the bar high. Looking forward to the next one.

The Best narrator EVER

Overall enjoyable and had potential but the ending was clear from some way off. Almost felt a bit drawn out. The narration had virtually no distinction between characters, which made it hard to follow their parts at times. I love this genre but this one didn't quite grab me.

Predictable story, not the best narration

I'm really growing to like these 3 main characters as the series goes on. A nice enjoyable, easy read.

thoroughly enjoyable

The 3rd book in the series. The characters and storylines are growing in depth and strength. Julie narrates with warmth and passion and I could honestly listen to her reading the telephone directory! Such a soothing real voice and great characterisation!! Already bought book 4 and looking forward to the next!! Really loving this gentle mystery series - thank you J M Hall!!!

Fun engaging read

I didn't have a clue who did it or why they did it but wow, right towards the end I found out. absolutely loved it. I thought there was another book to the series but not yet. the stories just get better. I love Julie reading it. a real cozy crime book.

Sorry, despite all the wonderful reviews I couldn't see the point. The three friends seemed to be investigating a non-event. I got about half way through and gave up. Whilst the reader is good, it is rather ironic to have a lancashire lass narrating something set in North Yorkshire! Couldn't the producers find someone from God's Own Country, the Wars of the Roses is still going on in case they didn't know. Glad I got it as a Daily Deal and didn't waste a credit.
