Mitchell Markby Mystery Series
Read by Jonathan Newth

Superintendent Alan Markby and his girlfriend, civil servant Meredith Mitchell,
are in desperate need of a holiday - and the Cotswold village of Parsloe St John
seems the perfect choice. Their neighbour, retired journalist Wynne Carter, is
as convivial as the village itself and, over a glass of blackberry wine, indulges
in her latest obsession, Olivia Smeaton, a racy old lady whose life - and death -
she is convinced are not all they seem. Markby is more interested in buying
Olivia's house than the circumstances of her vacating it, but Meredith is
intrigued: by the old lady, the death of a cherished horse and a dusty junk shop
run by a white witch. When another fatality - of a very grisly nature -
is discovered, it seems her suspicion is justified. Clearly Olivia isn't the
only enigma in Parsloe St John - and her death might be the first of many unless
Meredith Mitchell and Alan Markby can make sense of some very secret lives
to reach the truth.
