About this listen

Ann Cleeves Classic Crime—engaging mysteries to savour, beloved characters to meet again

Murder in Paradise is the third mystery novel featuring George and Molly Palmer-Jones by Ann Cleeves, author of the Shetland and Vera Stanhope crime series.

Cheerful festivities take a dark turn when the groom’s sister slips and tumbles to the perilous rocks below....

Newlyweds Jim and Sarah were welcomed home from their honeymoon to the Scottish island of Kinness with a huge celebration and the whole island was present to witness the bitter end. But did Jim’s younger sister Mary fall? Or was she pushed? George Palmer-Jones, retired birdwatcher and amateur detective, suspected the latter, but proving it would be difficult—no one wanted to upset the balance of the island’s ancient relationships.

There were definitely secrets being hidden, and George, helped by Sarah, began to piece together a tragic story he wished he had never heard. Kinness was a paradise lost.

Good story

I really enjoy this series. The books are very easy listening but always have a good story. I saw the other reviews were poor but I found the characters and sense of place to be strong and authentic. Fans of Shetland should give this a shot.

Monotonous

To many James and Jims a narrator with a whiney voice and a very monotonous tone I think probably Ann Cleeves worse book disappointing because I usually really enjoy

Confusing characters

I really like Ann Cleeves as an author but I agree that this book is not her best. Very depressing and confusing characters. I did eventually finish it. I am afraid I would not recommend this series.
