About the book

Who killed Stuart Burlington? Earlsraven is shaken by the news that its renowned antiques dealer has been slain with a samurai sword from his own collection. A web of secrets surrounds the case, and Nathalie and Louise - the owner of the Black Feather inn and her formidable cook - are determined to unravel it. They have an unexpected ally in the form of Hector Peroux, a celebrated private detective from Belgium. Together they are soon able to track down a suspect. But is the solution to the case really that straightforward? And what role does the enigmatic old lady, whose suspicious behaviour has been raising eyebrows, play in this puzzle?

About the series: There was nothing in the will about this...Cottages, English roses and rolling hills: that’s Earlsraven. In the middle of it all: the "Black Feather”. Not only does young Nathalie Ames unexpectedly inherit this cosy inn from her aunt, she also falls heir to her aunt’s secret double life! She solved criminal cases together with her cook Louise, a former agent of the British Crown. And while Nathalie is still trying to warm up to the quirky villagers, she discovers that sleuthing runs in the family.

    Der Einstieg war richtig gut gemacht. Hat direkt Lust auf die Geschichte gemacht. Die Story mochte ich ganz gerne. Der Pseudo-Hercule Poirot machte es ganz amüsant. Der Twist am Ende habe ich echt nicht kommen sehen. Das war sehr überraschend für mich. Wäre ich nicht draufgekommen. Die Reihe kann ich wirklich gut für zwischendurch weghören. Die Sprecherin macht ihren Job einfach super.

    Charmant und spannend wie bereits die vorherigen Teile.

    Ich fand diesen Teil was den Kriminalfall angeht etwas spannender und ausgeklügelter als in den ersten 3 Teilen. Die Protagonisten sind charmant und liebenswert wie eh und je. Auch diesen Teil habe ich als Hörbuch gehört. Die Sprecherin macht einen exzellenten Job. Wie sie den belgischen Akzent imitiert... Einfach toll.

    Cozy Crime. Ganz nett, aber etwas fad.
