Summary

A joke? A prank? Or something more sinister?

When the Exham-on-Sea residents are targeted by anonymous emails containing apparently harmless nursery rhymes, no one knows whether to laugh or shudder until an unexplained death touches the town.

Libby Forest, baker, chocolatier and Exham’s very own resident private investigator, alongside her partner Max Ramshore, set out to solve the puzzle before more people die. But when Max’s ex-wife arrives on the scene, ahead of Max and Libby's long-awaited nuptials, things go from bad to worse.

With the town and their relationship under threat, Max and Libby need the help of the Exham History Society if they're going to find the nursery rhyme killer in time.

Murder at the Gorge is the seventh in a series of Exham-on-Sea Murder Mysteries set at the small English seaside town full of quirky characters, sea air and gossip.

If you love Agatha Christie-style mysteries, cosy crime, clever dogs and cake, then you'll love these intriguing whodunnits.

Nice Enjoyable Story

A nice enjoyable story, which is just the thing to listen to for a good night’s sleep. The story goes along at a nice pace with the reassurance that it will all turn out alright in the end.

Murder, mystery, and beautiful Somerset. Flawless.

"Murder at the Gorge" is an excellent ending to this brilliant series. I fell in love with Libby, Max, Bear and Shipley, and the fictional town of Exham-on-Sea. I've never been to this part of Somerset but now, inspired by this wonderful series, I can't wait to go and enjoy the beauties of Dunster Castle, Minehead, Watchet, and everything else the area has to offer.
In the final instalment of the Exham-on-Sea Mysteries, Libby and Max tackle another case - one that hits dangerously close to home and ties the whole series together. Just like the previous books, it's beautifully written, well-plotted, sharp, yet cosy and narrated with such gentleness and compassion.
Charlotte Streven's reading is absolutely flawless and makes the book even better.
I've enjoyed the whole series so much that I almost feel a little sad I've reached the end of Libby and Max's adventures. Luckily, there are more cosy mystery novels by Frances Evesham that I'll be diving into very soon.
