About this listen
Humorous cozy-crime caper in which a feisty, amoral book dealer uses her unique skills to catch a murderer, desperate to hide the secrets kept by the yoga-obsessed staff and students of a West London ashram.
When a set of rare, impossible-to-find yoga books are stolen from a West London ashram, its leaders turn to Cordelia, the paperback sleuth, to recover them—a set-up that's a little awkward as they've previously barred her from yoga classes for selling marijuana to their students. But what begins as a hunt for missing paperbacks soon becomes a murder investigation as those involved with the ashram can't seem to stop dropping down dead—murdered with a whisky bottle to the head or a poisoned curry. Can Cordelia work out who the killer is and bring them to justice before they bring an end to her sleuthing for good.

Entertaining
A good story with funny lines, likeable characters and nice build on the relationships in the first book. Not the most exciting story to shout about but a nice listen, well written. Will read the next one.

a nice steady pace, easy to listen to.
This is a nice book to listen to, with the reader expressing the text in a very fine way, allowing a good picture of the story to be formed in the mind's eye. Unfortunately the end of chapter 18 has been chopped off..

Solid effort
Not as good as Tinkler&Co but still well worth a listen. Drags on a little bit towards the end but it's worth it.

Way better than the first.
Andrew Cartmel is a brilliant author. This is a massive improvement on the first book. The humour and the mystery are outstanding.

Reads like a first draft that needs editing
One of the strangest listens - could’ve had at least a couple of hours cut from this.
Thing is, the premise of the book is engaging & fun - which seems a shame. Think I can say this without giving too much away, but I found it implausible for our protagonist to receive a sustained physical attack by someone & zero words be exchanged between them. Or maybe that’s just what I’d do.
