About this audiobook

In December, 1924, a murder took place on a chicken farm in East Sussex, England. Although Norman Thorne never confessed to killing his girlfriend, Elsie, he was tried and hanged for the crime. In Chickenfeed, Walters burrows deep into an English legend, creating a suspenseful tale of fiction based in fact. Was Thorne guilty? If so, what was his motive? #160;#160;Set in the small village of Sowerbridge, The Tinder Box is a tale of chilling ambition. Patrick O#8217;Riordan has been arrested for the brutal murder of elderly Lavinia Fanshaw and her live-in nurse, Dorothy Jenkins. As the village unites against the O#8217;Riordan family, Siobhan Lavenham is convinced that Patrick is the victim of a prejudiced investigation. But when terrible secrets come to light, she is forced to question her loyalties.

    This is brilliant: two high-interest crime novellas, written by one of my favorites in the field for her ability to twist the spaghetti, and, they're written to be accessible to adults only just becoming literate or fluent in English. There's no feeling that Walters has "written down" to her audience. The stories are complex and engrossing and if I didn't know going in that they were commissioned for a specific reason, I never would have guessed. The prose itself is straightforward and so functional as to be almost invisible, like the best kind of reporting. Highly recommended to reluctant adult readers, to people who think they don't like crime stories, and also a good introduction to Walters' work in particular. A good choice for anyone who really liked Gone Girl and is wanting something like that.

    Two short novellas, both with unusual endings. I really liked the way the author developed the characters and the story line. It's time to try one of this author's books.

    Two novellas and I really liked the first one "Chickenfeed", which was based on a true case. The second one I did not like as well, really couldn't get into any of the characters. Short read but I am a big Walters fan.
