About this listen
Meet Flora Steele - bookshop owner, bicycle-rider, daydreamer, and amateur detective!
Sussex, 1955: When bookshop owner Flora Steele goes for a walk along the pier she isn’t expecting to spot a young woman’s body in the stormy waters below. And she’s shocked to discover the victim is someone she knows....
Convinced the death was not an accident, Flora persuades attractive local crime writer Jack Carrington to help her find out what really happened to poor Polly Dakers, a popular young woman with a complicated love life, who’d been at the heart of village life in Abbeymead.
Jack is reluctant to get involved in another murder case at first, but even he can’t deny that Polly’s fall seems fishy. An argument at a party, a missed hairdresser’s appointment, and a red woolen bobble found on the wooden boards where Polly last stood provide a trail of clues....
As they grow closer to solving the puzzling mystery, the unlikely pair stumbles upon several surprising secrets about those closest to Polly. A number of potential suspects begin to emerge. But who really disliked Polly enough to kill her? Was it Raymond, her jilted first love? Harry, her latest beau? Or Evelyn, Harry’s jealous estranged wife?
As the investigation brings them closer to the truth, Flora is intent on unmasking the killer - but will her stealthy sleuthing lead her down a dangerous path?
An utterly delightful cozy crime novel set in the fictional Sussex village of Abbeymead. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin, and Joy Ellis!

I'm really enjoying the Flora Steele adventures
This is my kind of book - nothing too aggressive or violent - similar to an Agatha Christie whodunit.
Easy listening, perfect to listen to last thing at night and when I'm dressmaking.

Thoroughly enjoyable
Really enjoyed this… the storyline had lots of twists and turns that kept me on my toes. The characters were very well put together and linked nicely with each other. Lovely insight into the structure, social expectations & dynamics of village community life in the 1950’s. Definitely recommend it.

I preferred this to the first one!
An easy book to listen to, I found this second book in the series to be better than the first. The characters are more developed. The narrator is still irritating!

Another great story
These books remind me of Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote. Easy listening with great characters from the first book. Can’t wait to get into the third story!

A great read
Even though I worked out who the murderer was before the end I really loved this story. Couldn't put it down. As someone who lives in Sussex & has been to the places mentioned many times, it made it even more fun to listen to. Onto book number 3, hope there's many more books in this series.

Brilliant story line but change narrator
Narrator spoils this storyline yet again. Not suited to this type. Too high pitched and drone like. I
