About this listen
When widow Mrs Pargeter has her morning coffee, her intention is to admire her beautiful garden in peace and quiet. Little does she expect one of the patio's paving slabs to crack in two, revealing a human skull with a neat hole in the middle of its forehead! Mrs Pargeter decides to investigate. And who better to assist than her late husband's 'business associates', private investigator Truffler Mason and chauffeur Gary?
The trio are soon certain that a murder has been committed and the body disposed of under some convenient building works. But who is the victim? And more importantly, who put the body under Mrs Pargeter's patio? Mrs Pargeter and her friends must find out the truth before suspicion turns towards the late Mr Pargeter, whose business dealings Mrs P remains - naturally! - in blissful ignorance of...

Great detective comedy
Simon Brett has a terrific delivery which brings each of the characters he created to full and comedic life. This is the story of what was under Mrs P's patio and how it got there. Along the way new former employees or, 'business associates' of her much missed dead husband emerge and play their part in helping or hindering the quest. This is just the latest in a series of great performances of very well written material. Long may SB continue!

Entertaining & Great Narration
How I love Simon Brett - witty, entertaining and great plots in all of his series of books and I recommend them all . He is one of the very few authors who given his years of experience in radio drama actually narrates beautifully. I like other listeners would love to be in Mrs P’s gang !

Amusing cosy crime with tongue in cheek.
Simon Brett does not disappoint. Some great characters, from Mrs Pargeter to Truffler getting in some unlikely situations. I loved the rather snide comments on TV reality shows. Simon Brett narrates very well, giving all the characters an individual voice.

Thoroughly enjoyed and untypical narrative/characters
Loved the characters, the narration and plot. Enjoyable and yet from my experience, a quite unpredictable narrative.

The unforgettable Mrs Pargetter
I LOVE all the Mrs Pargetter books, if only there were more on audible. Good plots, fabulously named characters, humour and suspense, they’ve got the lot!!

Fabulous
These stories are an absolute joy. With amazing characters, all of whom are beautifully described so you feel like you know them. Escapism at its best!

Love A New Simon Brett
Love nearly all of Simon Brett's books. can't get into Blotto and Twinks though.
Mrs P is amazing I want to be her so comfortable in her own body and truly loved by all.
Just one complaint about the narration.. Too much sniffing as soon as I hear it I start to focus on the sniffs. earlier books didn't have this I'm sure. I do like Simons voice and characterisations but it does spoil it a bit for me.

Great listen
Great performance by Simon Brett, although I'm unsure whether his sniffing was to convey distain or it was an affection! Nonetheless, absolutely love Mrs P and will be downloading another adventure with the gang.

My heroine!
Love Mrs Pargeter and all of her dear late husband's associates. Brilliantly funny and read by the author, Simon Brett, who does his characters proud. Just great entertainment.
