Summary
Spring, 1909, and Lady Hardcastle, amateur sleuth and all-round eccentric, is enjoying a well-deserved rest. But a week after a trip to the cattle market, Spencer Caradine, a local farmer, turns up dead in the pub, face-down in his beef and mushroom pie. Once again, it is up to Lady Hardcastle and her maid, Florence, to solve the case.
Armed with wit and whimsy, not to mention Florence’s mean right hook, the pair set out to discover what really happened and why. Was it poison or just ill luck?
As they delve further into their investigation, they encounter a theft where nothing is stolen, a séance with a troubled ghost and an ever-increasing number of Spencer’s family and friends who might just have motive for murder. One thing’s for sure: Lady Hardcastle has a mystery on her hands.
Revised edition: Previously published as The Spirit Is Willing, this edition of In the Market for Murder includes editorial revisions.

A very enjoyable book.
Loved the book and the narrator was very good though Welsh pronunciation was sometimes odd.

Pretty Good
I really liked the first one. This one was still good but not as good as the first. It felt a bit convoluted. It's not put me off reading the next one though.

Foul language excluded .
A welcome change from the now fashionable foul language detective stories available today , and , nobody felt it necessary to throw up at the least provocation . Narration a bit twee though for my liking .

Long yet good fun
The narrator did a very good job and her accents, in the most part, were sufficiently accurate.
The story was rather long-winded so concentration was difficult to maintain..
However, the dialogue between Lady Hardcastle and her lady’s maid Flo Armstrong was well written and often most witty and enjoyable.
I may well return to these books when I need something light to listen to.

An enjoyable listen
I have listened to a few of TE Kinsey’s books and enjoyed them all. Easy to listen to and always well narrated.

Brilliant!
Even better than the first in the series. The characters are developed beautifully. The writing style is exquisite and the multiple plots are great. The humour throughout had me laughing out loud. I am so happy I stumbled on this series!

Good old fashioned detective story
What made the experience of listening to In the Market for Murder the most enjoyable?
The excellent narration enabled me to imagine the characters well
What was one of the most memorable moments of In the Market for Murder?
I really liked the interaction between Lady Hardcastle and Flo.
What about Elizabeth Knowelden’s performance did you like?
She read with a normal voice! Some narrators seem to have strange way of ending sentences on an uplift like a question. Elizabeth reads as if she is talking to you which is much better.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Some bits made me laugh out loud!
