Slaughter in the Cotswolds [Audiobook] [Audio CD]

Rebecca Tope (Author), Caroline Lennon (Reader)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2009

Thea Osborne has just lost her beloved father and retreats to housesitting in Lower Slaughter, hoping to find peace. The scenery is beautiful, the tranquility a welcome backdrop to her independent ways, and there's a host of miscellaneous animals to help stave off her loneliness not to mention the much-needed company of her faithful spaniel Hepzie. As Thea settles down to two weeks of solitude, her biggest challenges are doing jigsaw puzzles and fighting off bats in the bedroom. That is, of course, until reality catches up with her. When Thea's bossy elder sister turns up on her doorstep after witnessing a horrific killing, the rural serenity in Lower Slaughter descends into a web of mutual suspicions, accusations and confrontations.

This review is from: Slaughter in the Cotswolds (Cotswold Mystery 6) (Paperback)

Just ONE more book to read of Ms Tope's wonderful series, I have enjoyed The Cotswolds Mysteries so much, Ms. Tope is so insightful of human nature and the feelings of people, regarding death of a family member, interaction of sisters and feelings about a beloved dog, these and her outstanding writing make her books a fine combination of mystery and characters and places you want to know better.
