Fiction. Mystery. Just two weeks to go before the Cherringham Charity Christmas Concert. Choir rehearsals are in full swing. Then the worst thing happens: Kirsty Kimball, one of the singers, is found dead from a severe allergic reaction to one of the home-made rehearsal cakes. Jack is pulled in to help bolster the depleted choir - and soon he's convinced that Kirsty's death was no accident. Sarah agrees, and the two of them are soon immersed in the jealousies, rivalries, and passions of Cherringham's Rotary Club choir ... Cherringham is a serial novel à la Charles Dickens, with a new audio episode released every two weeks. Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick listen for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa. For fans of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series, Lilian Jackson Braun's The Cat Who series, Caroline Graham's Midsomer Murders, and the American TV series Murder She Wrote, starring Angela Lansbury. Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid 90's, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and - most recently - the successful crime fiction series Cherringham. The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of 'DCI John Barnaby' in 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Jim Riley' in 'The Life of Riley'. He is also known for his film roles in 'The Nativity', 'Sorted' and 'Son of Rambow'. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as 'Norman Birkett' on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Staffor… (más)

Murder by anaphylaxis! The police took it at face value, but Sarah doesn't believe it, and neither does the choir accompanist. So Jack and Sarah do their own diligence and find the truth. Well done!
Voice actor Neil Dudgeon is excellent at his craft, but his audio equipment needs adjustment. ( )

This is the third 'episode' in the Cherringham series and another enjoyable story.

Cherringham is preparing for it's annual Christmas choir performance, when one of the women in the choir, Kirsty, dies of anaphylactic shock from eating a biscuit containing peanuts. It is originally thought of as a tragic accident, but Kirsty's friend Beth has her suspicions and asks the unofficial detectives Jack and Sarah to investigate.

As always, secrets are unearthed and of course the truth is finally revealed.

Expertly narrated again by Neil Dudgeon, this series has continued to delight me, being undemanding enough to listen to while out running, but also keeping me guessing. Bring on episode 4! ( )

A great little trio of mini-mysteries set in the village of Cherringham, in the Cotswalds area of the UK.

All three feature the detective work of web designer Sarah Edwards and retired NYPD Detective Jack Brennan. The relationship is one of mutual trust and respect, but no overt evidence of it being romantic. They fall into a mystery and discover that they both enjoy the detection process, and continue solving mysteries together. These stories are wonderful, and do not feel that they have been stilted or inflated to meet a certain size. Very enjoyable.

In "Episode One," Sarah's best friend Sammi has "accidentally drowned," according to the police. The situation does not feel right to Sarah, and she starts asking questions. She quickly meets Jack, who is intrigued by the situation, and together they work to determine what exactly happened.

"Episode Two" involves a dysfunctional family consisting of a grumpy septuagenarian and his three middle-aged children. Again, Sarah and Jack are drawn in to assist a friend who was close to the deceased.

"Episode Three" finds them again mixed up in a suspicious death, during the winter holidays.

In each episode, we learn a little more about Sarah and Jack. The character development is steady and pleasing. Highly recommended.
