Liked the two main characters and we look out for some more from the series. A NetGalley Book (  ) Vesper1931 | Jul 29, 2021 | A Lesson in Murder is the 13th installment in the serialized Cherringham Cosy Crime Series. A new story is released in ebook format each month. The stories are available in both German and English. It is not necessary to read the stories in order. This is the first Cherringham story I've read and I was able to jump right in without any problem. There is a short bio of both main characters just before the story begins. At 103 pages, this novella is a quick read. The plot is fast-paced, engaging, and well-written. I liked the rapport between the two main characters. The pace and feel of the story was reminiscent of television detective shows like Murder She Wrote and Midsomer Murders. There are currently 24 Cherringham stories available. I definitely want to read more of this serialized mystery series! It was the perfect length for a quick bed-time read! Matthew Costello and Neil Richards have also collaborated on many scripts for television, radio and computer games. (  ) JuliW | Nov 22, 2020 | By: Matthew Costello and Neil Richards I received a free e-ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. This is a terrific mystery series. Jack (former NYPD detective) and Sarah (British web designer) team up to solve mysteries in their small English village. All of the books in this series are available only in electronic form. I looked them up on Amazon. Some of them are free and some you can buy for around 0.99 cents (American). I checked out the authors as well. Mr. Richards is British and Mr. Costello is American which perfectly mirrors the heroes in the book. This is an ideal collaboration and blends their styles seamlessly. I loved that we get alternating viewpoints - sometimes seeing things through Jack's eyes and sometimes get Sarah's perspectives. We also heard narrative through other characters. The dialogue is crisp and keeps the action moving quickly. I loved the mixture of American and British speaking styles. I could practically hear them talking. This is a relatively short book (about 74 pages total) and so (like a good short story) every detail and nuance is important to the plot. The reader receives all the great mystery details without extraneous padding. There is very minimal character development. I recognize, however, that this is a series and can/ should be viewed as an overall work of art. Take a look at Alexander McCall's "44 Scotland Street" series which first appeared as a newspaper serial. Not much growth in the characters each episode but overall (over time) people changed. I'm anxious to read all of these books to form a more educated opinion. Overall I loved this quick, clever, brisk book. I highly recommend for cosy mystery fans or anyone who appreciates a well-done story.

Mystery.
When Jack and Sarah are called in to investigate mysterious pranks at an exclusive girls' private school, it seems at first that it might be the work of a few mean pupils with a grudge. But things quickly turn serious when a popular teacher meets a sudden, violent death. Now, with murder in the air, Jack and Sarah have their own lessons to learn about the Cherringham Girls School, its dark secrets ... and who wanted that teacher dead before they learned the truth. 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 Stafford. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

In this episode Jack and Sarah are inveigled into a very quiet investigation into some very nasty pranks at a VERY pricey girls boarding school and find some interesting things despite marked obstruction by the admin of that very institution. Unusual.
Love this idea of a series given in short bursts that are just the right size as well as so much more flexible than a whole novel! The ongoing sleuthing involves a retired and widowed older NYPD homicide cop who is finding life in the English countryside a fair antidote to his mourning, and a local recently divorced woman who has returned to her hometown with her children. They make a good sleuthing pair.
Voice actor Neil Dudgeon has been an excellent asset to my listening pleasure, making sure that
I know who's talking while I do mindless things. (
