I started reading (audio) this series of Cherringham cozy mysteries last year and just love them. This one is the 10th in a 48--book series by Matthew Costello and Neil Richards. I especially like the narration by Neil Dudgeon!! The series is set in the fictional Cotswolds town of Cherringham, not far from Cheltenham, and featuring two amateur sleuths, Sarah, a single mother of two who works in advertising and Jack, a former NYPD homicide detective.

This is a cozy, old-school style murder mystery � no supernatural stuff and no horror. All of which I really like. In this installment, Sarah and Jack investigate the suspicious death of one Father Byrne. We gradually learn about Father Byrne’s secrets, his life outside of his pastoral role. Someone, it seems, wanted him dead. But why? I like the fast pace of these short books, which don’t contain a lot of background or filler, but do give us insight into the lives of Jack and Sarah and their developing relationship. I love the dialogue in these books! And it’s so well done in audio.

This is #34 of the 100 books I aim to read in 2025.
