Summary
It's all kicking off in Piddlington Minster...

Harry Hedges is a desperate man. Desperate to be a journalist again. Desperate to pay off his overdraft. And desperate to find a decent coffee. In a paper cup. With a lid on. 

There's not much chance of that in Dorset, where he's trying to revive an ailing weekly newspaper and claw his way back to journalistic civilisation, after losing his swanky London job. 
All he has to do is take on the town busybody, locate his proprietor's lost sister, and help solve the mystery of the body on the roundabout.

How hard can it be?

With a news-team that includes a Gen-Zer with a secret, a truculent pensioner and a flea-ridden Labrador, the answer is - very...

Fun. Easy listen.

Profile Avatar Nadine Julia Penalagan Jan 2026

An enjoyable listen but a little over two thirds in I was getting annoyed with the continued issues the main character got himself in. I considered not listening to the rest of the story but I am glad I did. For the most part it was very entertaining with well defined characters. I feel cutting out an hour of the story line in that particular area would elevate the story.

The story was good, narrator was great, especially with all the voices.

Profile Avatar mr_mraz Mar 2026

Charming book but didn’t find it particularly funny. Easy-to-digest story that didn’t make me feel like there were ever any real stakes. Narrator was fantastic.

I loved this funny, well-written and clever book. And as a journalist for as long as the author, I can attest that her descriptions of the challenges are believable!

Although some of the storyline is slightly unbelievable the book keeps ones interesting. Funny and entertaining but also relating to real life issues

Exciting and funny

Profile Avatar Daphne Feb 2026

Loved this book - light but intriguing, great characters and a very good narrator. Highly recommend

Profile Avatar Sam Feb 2026

The narrator was absolutely brilliant, and this story was really amusing. Yes, got a tad annoyed with the main protagonist for not speaking up/making stupid decisions, but, you know it's all going to work out well because the narrator seems so cheery. Absorbing, entertaining listen. Am going to 'follow' both author and narrator to get the next one.

Profile Avatar Debra B. Jan 2026

This was an enjoyable listen because of the narration. Some questionable choices by the characters were frustrating, but it's only a story, haha.

Profile Avatar Sigridur T. Jan 2026

I could not count how many times I cringed while listening to this book.

Profile Avatar Ingrid D. Jan 2026

It is a fun listen. The characters are quirky but still believable. Although it is a murder mystery plus a few other mysteries thrown in for goid measure, it is the discovering the back story of the characters that makes this boik great. I would not call this cosy crime. It is more a less bloody midsomer murder. But I can recommend it if you are looking for a light entertaining crime story without layers of cupcake frosting.

Profile Avatar Super Sapper Jan 2026

Absolutely Brilliant! Characters, story and plot brilliant. The narration was superb. bringing storyvand characters alive. Looking forward to next book.

Profile Avatar Kristen Jan 2026
