    About this audiobook

    English food is all well and good in its place, but for expatriate amateur sleuth Dorothy Martin, there's nothing like a good Thanksgiving turkey with all the trimmings to make November seem complete. In the midst of the preparations, though, when Dorothy gets a call to help out for one day at the local school because Amanda Doyle just hasn't shown up, she does agree to help; she was, after all, a schoolteacher. Things turn out very badly on Thanksgiving Day. As she awaits the arrival of her guests, Dorothy gets another call: Could she look after Mrs. Doyle's nine-year-old daughter, Miriam? The child's father has been murdered, and the murmurings over the wishbone are not part of any celebration Dorothy would have planned.

    "Dorothy's outsider status gives her a fresh perspective on village eccentricities. . . . Dorothy's not exactly bland herself, given her penchant for detecting, her colorful millinery, and her phone-answering cat."-Detroit Free Press

      I discovered this at my local library and since I am a lover of cozy mysteries it called to me. The main characters are a newly wed couple of retirement age. The husband is a retired constable and the wife a retired school teacher. The characters, and there are many, are well thought out and have a purpose in the story. And right up until the last chapter you are kept guessing as to who committed the murder.
    • 4/5
      I enjoy this series. One of the better cozy mystery writings.
