In rural Canada, a woman dies after eating from a jar of tainted green beans - and a Mountie must preserve the evidence.

In a quiet small town in New Brunswick, old Agatha Treadway makes one last cranky complaint to her niece before dying on her kitchen floor. The cause seems to be a jar of contaminated string beans, which sat on Agatha's basement shelf for years before becoming her final meal. The town doctor calls it a tragic accident - and a warning to all who can their own vegetables - but Agatha's neighbor, the intrepid Janet Wadman, knows better. Agatha was an expert canner, which means the beans must have been placed there by someone else. This was murder.

Before Janet can share her theory with the town doctor, he, too, meets an untimely death. To oversee the investigation, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police send Madoc Rhys, a wholly unusual Mountie who poses as Janet's relative while he searches for the killer. But Madoc soon finds himself falling for his partner in detection, and before he can make his feelings known, the pair will have to contend with a secret far more deadly than botulism.

This is the first book in this series. This is a fun mystery. An old woman died after eating a canned jar of beans. Ends up several people is killed. They send in the Canadian police. Madoc Rhys is a smart and sneaky. I'll continue to the next book. I thought William Dufris did a good job narrating this book. Other reviews said different. For me he made it better. And I'm picky with narrators that I like. So you may or may not like the narrating. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

I enjoyed listening to this book. Characters were well defined and entertaining to listen to. I think it enhanced the story quite a bit.

Very nice job of voicing the different characters.

This was originally published in 1980. It reminds me of my youth without cell phones and when people actually canned vegetables, There’s a little bit of a love story between the detective and one of the characters, but the mystery is definitely first and more than one person dies. So there is sweetness and sadness. It is set in a small town in Canada. Charlotte McLeod has a little bit of the patriarchy in her stories written from the 60s through 2000. Good women can be strong, but you won’t find any career women as main character characters in her books.
If you want a bit of nostalgia and sweetness, I would recommend.

Nostalgic murder mystery

in this narrator's portrayal. I'm so disappointed! I read these books decades ago and was looking forward to revisiting them in audio format. The narration ruins it for me...the Mountie manages to sound like a giddy pre-teen girl, wimpy teenage boy, and creepy pervert all at the same time.

Maddoc is wimpy and creepy

Most of this story is from Janet’s POV but the male narrator made everyone sound doddering and old. I was surprised to find that Janet was only 21. Story may be better when read.

Narrator ruined it for me too
