About this audiobook
Cherringham - a quiet town in the Cotswolds. Nothing ever happens there, or so it seems - until one morning a woman's body is found in the river. A terrible accident, according to the police. But is this true? Sarah believes there must be more to it. In Jack, a former NYPD homicide detective, she finds a partner who is willing to start investigating with her. They soon find out that things are not as clear as the police want them to be ... This first - of many cases brings Sarah and Jack together in an unlikely partnership.
Cherringham is a serial novel à la Charles Dickens, with a new audio episode released every two weeks. Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick listen for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa. For fans of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series, Lilian Jackson Braun's The Cat Who series, Caroline Graham's Midsomer Murders, and the American TV series Murder She Wrote, starring Angela Lansbury.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Just a whodunnit and easy listening. Short is what you sometimes want.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Gentle English crime story. Well read. Good for resting in afternoon
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5good story and well read. A nice way to spend a couple of hours
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a bit of a mixed review. First the good. It is written in simple language with sarcasm and humour thrown in. This fact makes it refreshing as apposed to the dryness of an Agatha Christie novel. Now the bad. The murder mystery is too simple. One clue leads to another clue and then another clue and then the murderer. No twists or turns, just simply follow the clues. The most disappointing part was that the author never bothered to explain why the police could not have made some effort in solving the murder. An Agatha Christie has no loose ends! This is full of them. It feels like the author could not be bothered to clean up the loose ends, and add twists and turns and explain why the police had no interest in solving the murder.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Of course the conclusion. I was puzzled until the last chapter. Fun listen .
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The best book I've read in a long time and a brilliant mystery at that.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really enjoyed this. I liked the pairing of Jack and Sarah and the writing style made for an interesting but not too bloodthirsty detective story. Easy yet absorbing listening. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My husband and I really enjoyed this one. It was fun guessing the murder ( I guessed right). Well written and well read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book. i can't wait to start the next in the series. I wish they would list them in order as my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be. There is probably a way I can sort them myself but haven't figured it out yet.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a great start to a new series of murder mysteries! Loved number one and looking forward to the next.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5nice English mystery . love that Neil Dudgeon did the auto it was like a midsummer murder mystery,
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I like this murder mystery and the interesting characters. It will be very interesting getting to know more about Jack's background and whether Sara will start a detective agency or not.
