Farm to Trouble (A Farm to Table Mysteries 1) by Amanda FlowerĬoming home to a run-down farm, gossipy neighbors, and a shady investor is a lot to handle… but a murderer on the loose is the final straw! Hopefully you will find some fun mysteries to enjoy amongst this list. I’ve been surprised just how many of these there are each month but I’m enjoying collating them and adding many of them to ever-growing TBR. Welcome to my list of Cozy Mystery releases for April.

I’m already looking forward to following Daphne’s escapades again next year. I was hooked and kept guessing right until the big reveal, the murderer’s identity as much of a surprise to me as it was those involved.Ĭharming, entertaining and atmospheric, this is cosy festive fun at its best and is the perfect book to listen to this time of year. The snowy landscape and Christmas setting were perfect for festive listening and the author’s evocative descriptions and old fashioned language merged with the delightful narration to completely immerse me in the story. There are few clues to follow, but Daphne pieces them together as she tries to unmask the killer before they can strike again. Then, when an old rival of Director Chester Harrison is also found dead, Daphne begins to wonder if someone is slowly picking off those involved with the production. It begins with the actor playing Scrooge in A Christmas Carol who drops dead while on stage on opening night at London’s Theatre Royal. We are transported to December 1935 as amateur sleuth Daphne King investigates more mysterious murders. This year, I listened to Murder at the Theatre Royale, which is the second book in Ada Moncrieff’s A Christmas Mystery Series. The 12 Audiobooks of Christmas Audiobook Tour is now firmly a part of my festive reading traditions.

Are those associated with the production being picked off one by one? Budding journalist Daphne King takes up the case… Until, that is, a leading theatre critic-and old rival of Monty’s-is killed backstage. With tensions amongst the cast running high, the company reach their final stop-London’s Theatre Royale.Ĭatastrophe, however, strikes on opening night: Scrooge dies on stage, the result (it is presumed) of a heart attack. Director Monty Harrison’s production of A Christmas Carol has had a troubled run on its tour of regional theatres. It’s Christmas at London’s Theatre Royale and journalist Daphne King is determined to solve an extraordinary mystery…ĭecember 1935. Thank you to Danielle for the invitation to take part and Ulvercroft for the gifted audiobook.
