Summary

It's harvest time in the village of Kurland St. Mary as Lucy and Robert prepare to wed - but a murderer has taken an unseasonable vow of vengeance....

As Miss Lucy Harrington, daughter of the village rector, and Major Sir Robert Kurland plan their nuptials, the major is beginning to wonder if he'll ever hear wedding bells. He's seen complex military campaigns that involved less strategy, and he's finding Lucy's meddling family maddening. 

When the body of Ezekiel Thurrock, the church verger, is discovered crushed by a gargoyle that has fallen from the bell tower, the wedding is delayed. But the evidence suggests this was no accident, and Lucy wonders if bad blood at the village fair had anything to do with the man's mysterious demise, since there was much bitterness over Ezekiel's prizewinning vegetables. As Lucy and Robert uncover longstanding village feuds, the town's dark secrets begin to take their toll, and the couple soon finds they, too, are in grave danger....

Lucy Harrington

Wasn't keen on the voices of the men the narrator was trying to portray. Her story telling was much better.

witchcraft

poor narrator the butlers voice beyond irritating, I find witchcraft distasteful so would not recommend this book. I fast forwarded and got to the end explanation

Why no Book 3?

I have really enjoyed the Kurland mysteries, especially the growing romance between Lucy and the Major. But. The pivotal third book in the series has not been recorded for Audible. I had to find it on Kindle. It was very good, but had I not read it much of this book would be somewhat confusing. I know there has been a change of reader - I prefer the earlier narrator, personally, as Ms Gould has some very odd pronunciations, tries too hard to sound “posh” and her male voices are stiff and most unattractive - but leaving a book out in the middle of a series is just not fair!

The untangling of the web

Working out who was who and why the bad deeds were done it makes it more interesting to sort out the story line
