Historia
Just 2 months after WW1 one of the most bizarre tragedies in history would strike a crowded neighbourhood in Boston. Thanks to some unseasonably warm weather, some poor construction and the greed of some factory owners, the saying "sugar is bad for your health" has never been more true.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-fantastic-history-of-food--3591729/support.

The year is 1924. Only a few years removed from the trenches of Flanders, Lieutenant Eric Peterkin has just been granted membership in the most prestigious soldiers-only club in London: the Britannia.

Eric is certain one of his fellow members is the murderer. But who?

Fun Traditional Mystery
Revisado: 03-14-19
All of the evidence was there, you just have to put it together for yourself. That's the most fun part of a good mystery for me. Can't wait for more books like this from Christopher Huang

It didn't even make any sense?!
Revisado: 01-06-19
So I like a good mystery, but only when the result is logical. The actions of the characters didn't follow any logical pattern, and the murders themselves didn't seem to have much of a motive. And what little motive they had didn't seem to explain any of the eccentricities of their actions.

Great cozy

What a great fun mystery! The story was well developed and the narration added a pleasant feel to the listen. And of course the ending: was there a killer? Who did it? What was a real clue?

Eager to escape London following the scandal of her husband's death, Lady Fieldhurst accepts an invitation to spend the summer in rural Yorkshire as the guest of Sir Gerald and Lady Hollingshead. She soon discovers, however, that country life is not the panacea she had hoped for.

too many plot distractions
Revisado: 04-28-17
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
if they like soap operas, then i might recommend it. it's not for someone who likes a good mystery though.
What was most disappointing about Sheri Cobb South’s story?
that the mystery wasn't the focus of the story. there were a bunch of silly artificial distractions.
Did Joel Froomkin do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
he was better than normal
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
no

Fun Mystery, 10 minutes too long though
Revisado: 03-19-17
Fun cozy, interesting characters, and a good solution. Definitely worth a listen. Not sure why the author tacked on the part at the end. Seemed pretty pointless.

Ending was Meh

It was not her best work. Characters were irritating, the setting underwhelming, and the ending fell flat. All this compared to her usual work. Still a good listen.

Good Mystery, with Clues to Discover
Revisado: 08-18-16
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes, there were a lot of different turns in the plot, and subtly buried details that made it important to stay attentive

Honoring the wish of her late grandmother, Maura Donovan visits the small Irish village where her Gran was born-though she never expected to get bogged down in a murder mystery. Nor had she planned to take a job in one of the local pubs, but she finds herself excited to get to know the people who knew her Gran. In the pub, she's swamped with drink orders as everyone in town gathers to talk about the recent discovery of a nearly 100-year-old body in a nearby bog.

Narrator Can't Do an Irish Accent
Revisado: 07-22-16
Would you listen to Buried in a Bog again? Why?
If there was an Irish or British narrator probably. Or even an American who could do an Irish accent. The reading was painful
What didn’t you like about Amy Rubinate’s performance?
As bad as I've ever heard. She'd be fine reading American works though, just not Irish or British.
