About this listen
Ever so wholesome. Ever so deadly....
When a local man is found murdered in an English Trust stately home, the community is shaken to its core. None more so than newcomer Astrid Swift, who finds the body. When she moved from London to the sleepy Dorset village and got a job at the house as an art restorer, she thought she was heading for a quieter life. Far from it. Because it turns out that rather than being the genteel organisation it seems on the surface, the Trust is a hotbed of politics and intrigue. As Astrid's new friend Kath from the village says: 'It's like the mafia, but with scones.'
As the suspicious deaths mount up and the threat draws closer, Astrid must use every gadget in her restorer's toolkit to solve the mystery, save her reputation—and maybe even her life. Thrilling, funny and addictive, The Trust is perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Robert Thorogood and Clare Chase.

Too many holes in the plot
This is a “murder mystery lite” book. There were so many holes in the plot that I never did understand why the victim was murdered. It’s a shame because it had the beginnings of quite an interesting story. Then it turned into a bit of a Mills & Boon romance. So many of the characters’ motives and actions were simply unbelievable, and I got fed up with the main character’s ego. I’m glad I got it from the Plus catalogue. On the other hand, the narrator was excellent, which is why it got an extra star!

Fantastic story, plot and characters
I thoroughly enjoyed this first book in the series and can't wait to start the serving book. The narrator has just the right voice and tone for the story too. Highly recommended if, like me, you are a fan of HYHanna's books and Peter Boland's Charity Shop Detective books.

Such a feel good story
If you are having a low day then this is the book for you. Great characters and a really satisfying come-back story, I was very sad when it came to an end.

Charming.
Astrid gets dumped, moves to Dorset and learns lots of life lessons. She is an unlikeable snob at the start, but like any good cosy crime book the secondary characters do a lot of the work in creating the charm and warmth in the story, and help Astrid to flourish, see the emptiness of her former life - and of course solve the mystery!!

Good choice for fans of cosy crime
This has a likeable lead character and the story jogs along nicely. It's ideal cosy crime. Well read by Ruth Redman. I enjoyed it enough to download and listen to the second book. There was a third book, but when I came back to purchase it, it had mysteriously disappeared. A case for our heroine to investigate, perhaps?

Great Characters
Excellent narration and a good plot with a mystery but also a significant journey for the main character. Humorous too.
