I very seldom give up listening to a story but this was so deadly boring it defeated me.
Amelia Fox should maybe stick to the day job.

A feel good story. I live in rural France myself and had to smile at the unrealistic portrayal of rural French speaking such good English. It is simply not accurate. Nonetheless it was very charming.

The most surprising aspect of this audiobook was that Billie Piper agreed to perform it.
Ridiculous plot , ghastly characters. I will not bother to purchase any other offerings by Katherine Croft. If you enjoy Agatha Christie don’t bother.

Wonderful prose . Terrific characters.
My only criticism would be the handling of the sitting tenant situation.
Two intelligent people making such a mess of it. I found that aspect totally unrealistic.

Sadly this audible book for me was very dull and very poorly narrated. So many male narrators struggle with female characters.Andy Cresswell was such a one.
Will not be looking for a sequel.

I have been an avid Audible fan since 2012 and I can honestly say I have never listened to such an appalling book before. Badly written , badly read with a cast of characters indescribably vile.
I will not be looking for anything more written by Jane E James.

Sadly I found the story totally unrealistic. How two adults could behave with such utter stupidity is beyond me. The only really decent characters were the twins.
I have no patience with such unremitting twaddle.

Dreadful narration. Ridiculous plot , supernatural drivel.
I am just glad I did not waste a credit on it.

Good story , beautifully narrated by Ian Hanmore.
I did not miss the absence of horrible Jane Louise , a very strange character.
Hopefully there will be more Tony in the future.
