Dublin is in the middle of a heat wave, and tempers are running high. The Celtic Tiger is well and truly dead, activists have taken over the headquarters of a failed bank, the trial of three unscrupulous property developers teeters on the brink of collapse, and in the midst of all this, along comes a mysterious organisation hell-bent on exacting bloody vengeance in the name of the little guy. Paul Mulchrone doesn’t care about any of this; he has problems of his own.

Funny, witty, unexpected- great story and great performance. I need to write some more words before I’m allowed to submit even though I’ve said everything I need to.

Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life in the New Forest. He does the odd bit of investigation work, but he likes his familiar habits and routines. His days of adventure are over: adrenaline is daughter-in-law Amy’s business now. Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul: she doesn’t stay still long enough for a habit or routine. She’s currently on a private island keeping world-famous author Rosie D’Antonio alive. Which was meant to be an easy job. Then a dead body, a bag of money, and a killer with their sights on Amy mean an end to Steve’s quiet life.

Big fans of the Thursday Murder Club series - and this story is just as good. Great characters and interesting plot.

Another seven BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramas, written and adapted by Alexander McCall Smith from his own best-selling series. A third outstanding collection of stories featuring Botswana’s only female private detective agency, run by the irrepressible Precious Ramotswe. Based on the hugely popular novels and brought to life with music and full casts, these evocative productions return us to Botswana, where Precious has more mysteries to solve.

Is this really volume 3???
Revisado: 06-25-19
According to audible, this is volume 3. BUT it seems a LOT has happened between volume 2 and 3- and the thumbnail says ‘volume 4’ which would a lot more sense.
Also, it appears a whole episode is missing from this collection.
One case has only 1 episode but it appears to be the second part only.
It seems audible has made a bit of a hash of things here.
The episodes that are there are as enjoyable as the previous volumes.

At Mullion Castle, sumptuous stately home, we meet the Earl and his family, who include his delightful daughters Patty and Boosie, and dotty Great-aunt Camilla. Old school chum, Charles Honeybath, who has been commissioned to paint a portrait of the Earl's wife, finds himself at the helm of a complex investigation involving ancestral works of art and a young under gardener, Swithin, who seems to possess the family features somewhat strikingly...

Boring and predictable
Revisado: 09-20-17
I bought this because it was read by Hugh Laurie. I was hoping for a quality piece of writing but was deeply disappointed. It was so boring and predictable. Maybe Laurie really needed the money when recording this!
Only recommended for people suffering from insomnia- it’s guaranteed to send you to sleep in no time.

Michael Hordern stars as Jeeves with Richard Briers as Bertie in a BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation. Mayhem has broken out at Brinkley Court and there would seem to be a desperate need for Jeeves. But Bertie is fed up with the assumption that he is merely an addendum to his personal attendant. There are more brains in the Wooster household than just Jeeves, you know! Stand back, Bertram Wooster is on the case.

Very enjoyable dramatization

Very enjoyable dramatization with excellent actors. Fast paced, funny and excellently delivered.
Probably the best PG Wodehouse radio play available.

Absolute waste of money.

The story is incredibly, incredibly silly. Full of platitudes and stereotypes. And the plot doesn't even make sense.
Don't buy.

It isn't the rain that upsets Carole Seddon during her walk on the West Sussex Downs. It isn't the dilapidated barn in which she is forced to seek shelter. No, what upsets her is the human skeleton she discovers there, neatly packed into two blue fertilizer bags.

Dull, contrived and repetitive
Revisado: 01-06-17
Would you try another book from Simon Brett and/or Geoffrey Howard?
I bought Death on the Downs because I had heard a reading of the first Fethering Mystery on the BBC and I enjoyed it. So I thought I'd give the second one a try. What I realise now is that either Simon Brett wrote the second book in an extreme hurry or the BBC did a wonderful job editing the first book. Given how dull and repetitive Death on the Downs was, I think it might have been the latter.
This book is too long winded, the language is repetitive and the story just does not make any sense. The characters are not developed logically and the manner in which they conduct their investigation is completely nonsensical. Yes, this is supposed to be a lighthearted murder mystery, not an intellectually challenging novel. But it is still possible to write well! The dialogues are so long winded and contrived it makes one cringe.
What was most disappointing about Simon Brett’s story?
See above
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Not even a genius of an actor could save this book, unless it was heavily edited.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
