About this listen
Kitty Underhay feels the touch...of death.
1934. Accidental amateur sleuth Kitty Underhay is being escorted by ex-army captain Matthew Bryant on an errand of mercy, as she takes a basket of grapes to her nemesis Mrs. Craven, who is recuperating from a recent operation. But their arrival at Elm House Nursing Home coincides with the mysterious death of Lady Wellings, a long-term resident.
The woman was known to be ill, so when the police turn a disinterested ear to Mrs Craven’s suspicion that Lady Wellings was poisoned, Kitty decides to look into the case herself. And when another invalid, the gentle Mrs. Pearson, collapses fatally in the breakfast room, it seems her suspicions are well-founded. For an institution promising health and rejuvenation, there seems to be a very low survival rate amongst the guests!
When the nurse Eloise Hibbert hints at sinister goings on among the staff, Kitty arranges to meet her away from the home to uncover how deep the treachery lies. However, before she can make the rendezvous, Eloise meets an unfortunate end falling from the top of the building. Was she pushed by the hand of fate, or a cold-blooded killer?
Meanwhile, Matt has been following an entirely different trail of evidence, and what he finds out chills him to the bone. When Kitty fails to return from her unsuccessful meeting, it is clear she has stumbled onto a plot far more devious than they could have imagined, and into a trap laid by an unscrupulous killer....
An utterly sensational and addictive Golden Age murder mystery. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Lee Strauss.

brilliant!
This series is a real favourite of mine and it just seems to be getting better and better. This instalment was filled to the brim with suspense and drama. An excellent read and I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Another great story
Enjoyed this instalment of kitty and matts adventures.
I like how there is a thread of one storyline running through the series with a new murder mystery in every book that is concluded.
A really cosy mystery and very likeable lead characters who are developing throughout the series. Throughly enjoyed listening to the narrator who did a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life.

Delightful Devon Detective
The Dolphin Hotel makes a great background for this continuing saga. Plenty of excitement and mounting tension. ( Very slight quibble - author might add to authenticiy by brushing up on driving a pre-war tourer and handling a revolver. ) We look forward to the next story.

Another terrific murder mystery, as Miss Underhay gets closer to finding out the truth. Read brilliantly again by Alex Tregear.

Quite good story but too many American idioms and
Local knowledge a bit sparse and too many American idioms in the text for me
