Jack’s a retired ex-cop from New York, seeking the simple life in Cherringham. Sarah’s a Web designer who’s moved back to the village to find herself. But their lives are anything but quiet as the two team up to solve Cherringham’s criminal mysteries.
This compilation contains episodes 4 – 6: THICK AS THIEVES, LAST TRAIN TO LONDON and THE CURSE OF MABB’S FARM.
Here Jack and Sarah get caught up in a mysterious treasure hunt. They tease out the truth behind the town puppeteer’s death, and they’re threatened by the ancient curse of a local farm.
Cherringham is a serial novel à la Charles Dickens, with a new mystery thriller released each month. Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly – but with a spot of tea – it’s like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.
For fans of Agatha Christie’s “Miss Marple series”, Lilian Jackson Braun’s “The Cat Who series”, Caroline Graham’s “Midsomer Murders”, and the American TV series “Murder She Wrote”, starring Angela Lansbury.
Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid 90’s, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and – most recently – the successful crime fiction series Cherringham.
The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of “DCI John Barnaby” in “Midsomer Murders” and “Jim Riley” in “The Life of Riley”.
Five Stars Great little novellas of the “English Mystery” type. Quick, enjoyable reads!

I knew after reading the first compilation–Episodes 1-3, that I’d read the next ones in the series. If you want action packed this may not be to your liking. If you’re a Christie fan then you should like this series. Like Ms. Christie’s these plots are simple; it’s the solving of the mystery with all if its twists and turns that keeps you guessing to the end. I’m looking forward to reading the next compilation in this series. I highly recommend these books to…
