Summary
A jaded spy and a shell-shocked country doctor team up to solve a murder in postwar England.
James Sommers returned from the war with his nerves in tatters. All he wants is to retreat to the quiet village of his childhood and enjoy the boring, predictable life of a country doctor. The last thing in the world he needs is a handsome stranger who seems to be mixed up with the first violent death the village has seen in years. It certainly doesn't help that this stranger is the first person James has wanted to touch since before the war.
The war may be over for the rest of the world, but Leo Page is still busy doing the dirty work for one of the more disreputable branches of the intelligence service. When his boss orders him to cover up a murder, Leo isn't expecting to be sent to a sleepy village. After a week of helping old ladies wind balls of yarn and flirting with a handsome doctor, Leo is in danger of forgetting what he really is and why he's there. He's in danger of feeling things he has no business feeling. A person who burns his identity after every job can't put down roots.
As he starts to untangle the mess of secrets and lies that lurk behind the lace curtains of even the most peaceful-seeming of villages, Leo realizes that the truths he's about to uncover will affect his future and that of the man he's growing to care about.

Thoroughly enjoyed it
Very enjoyable story, performance was alright too, albeit very obviously Joel Leslie. He's not bad, just very distinctive.

Lovely book with great narration
I adored this cosy romantic mystery. Reminded of Agatha Christie and settled in an English village with adorable characters.
The narration by Joel Leslie only added to the ambiance.

Great production and narration
Great narration but the plot did not keep my interest, too drawn out.
I will listen to Joel again but think twice about another Cat Sebastian novel.

Fun and rather sweet
I think I must be getting old and soft. This book features a Dr and a Spy falling in love as they solve a couple of murders. And it really is in that order. Ordinarily I’d have given up but this has characters that are sweet under all their psychotic tendencies and a pair of batty old women to die for!

Great story and fabulous narration
I read the book when it came out, and loved it, so couldn't wait to listen to the audio version. Joel Leslie does SUCH a good job with all (and I mean all) the character voices, as well as the story-telling and emotion. It's a lovely tale, and the narration is spot on.

Nice story
I enjoyed the characters and the crime solving, but missed romance and emotions. Well narrated.
