I totally adored the new characters of Noah and Miss Radford-Jones, but the investigation of the crime/mystery fell totally flat. Alfie didn't investigate one bit.

There really IS a killer? I enjoy reading these books and wait eagerly for the next. They are fun quick reads for a day relaxing and recognizing the mystery and how it is solved, always entertaining. I was lucky to start at the beginning of the series. Each book is a complete story but as progressing through the books you find out so much more about those in Bunburry that you feel they are your friends.

Another enjoyable read Love reading this series, cosy light hearted reading. The only time the book sets my teeth on edge, is Alfie’s affected London ways with his cooking cous cous and courgette soup rather than good solid English food like Cumberland pie or eggs and bacon. Love the characters, look forward to meeting them in the next novel.

4 stars for being pleasantly amusing village cozy novella with delightful characters. The audiobook lulled me to sleep (or back to sleep) in minutes. What more could one ask for the last book of 2020?
Jane Spitzmuller –
Another great read 🔰 Thoroughly enjoyed the next book in the series, only complaint would be I read it far too quickly 😁. Loving the new characters Mrs Radford -Jones, Noah and Gwendolyn. Hope to read more about them.

Review: I !ove British cosy mysteries and even though these are set in modern times, they still retain the ambia CD of the Golden Age of mystery. Plus, I really like the characters and adore the village of Bunburry. If it were real I would move there!
Danielle –
Always a good read. I thoroughly enjoy this series of books. The characters are interesting and quirky but fun, kind, and intelligent. I would love to visit Bunburry and meet them all.

Another great story from Helena Marchmont I am hooked on Bunburry! Great story telling. The culprit is not who you expect. The descriptions are so well done I hear Alfie speaking inside my head. but when is Alfie going to meet his father.
Alice McGuire –
Cozy indeed As usual Marchmont delivers a charming plot with the same charming characters. Bunburry is a very special place where crime takes place only to be solved by the Bunburry Triangle. Read and enjoy!

Der Teil war wieder okay. Nicht besonders gut und auch nicht besonders schlecht. Man hat sich halt eingelebt, man mag die Charaktere und es ist schön zurückzukehren.

Leaving others waiting When the Bunbury triangle teams up other books are left waiting while I join in the fun and mystery. Can't wait for the next book.

The mystery itself was a little off in this latest Bunburry cozy but the character development and village life was better than ever. Not one but two trips to the Tea Room!The eleven year-old volunteer library cataloger stole my heart.
Jeanne Baranowski –
Excellent addition to the to the series I would recommend the Countryside Mysteries to all Agatha Christie fans. A really great way to spend a rainy afternoon.

I love returning to Bunberry and find the series a great way to relax with a warm drink on a cool Fall day. I always look forward to the next installment and read it as soon as it comes out.

I love the Bunburry series. I look forward to each new installment of the Bunbury books. These books never disappoint and always deliver a little intrigue and a lot of fun.

A GREAT READ - LIGHT, FUNNY, WELL WRITEN WITH THE SAME PEOPLE AS THE THREE OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES. I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH -SORRY WHEN IT FINISHED.
William H. Wardlaw –
Fun tale Interesting characters, as usual. They always “play off” of each other in ways that are entertaining. The Cotswolds are the perfect setting. Good old English mystery.
