DEBUTED AS #10 BESTSELLER IN AMAZON HISTORICAL MYSTERIES
The anticipated sequel to Amazon Bestseller, An Oxford Murder, hailed as a “wonderfully stylish and delightful mystery romance” (Amazon Five Star Review)
When Catherine’s brother’s girlfriend, Emily, is arrested for the murder of an Oxford jazz saxophonist, he pleads with her to help find the real culprit. Though she is a newly hired tutor at Somerville College, Catherine has some past success at unmasking criminals and allows herself to be persuaded. She starts by going “undercover” as a weekend jazz singer with the murdered man’s band. Assisted by her beau, Dr. Harry Bascombe, she soon finds herself swimming in motives for the saxophonist’s death.
Could the murderer be the Communist band leader? The black American trombone sensation? The drummer with a secret lover? Or maybe the severely introverted math whiz? What if it’s not a member of the band at all?
While she tussles with her first year of teaching and worries over a troubled student, Catherine is also juggling her complex relationship with Dr. Harry and the fallout from an earlier relationship. When Emily is released and the police arrest her brother, Catherine is forced to dig deeper into her investigation uncovering new facts and unsuspected motives.
What other secrets can she find in the rarefied atmosphere of 1930s Oxford? And will Catherine survive the peril she encounters from an unexpected quarter? Mystery Historical Cozy

The AI couldn’t pronounce saxophonist or saxophone correctly. Just very disappointing. It was a jazz band for goodness sake.

The AI sucked.

This might be a good story but the voice used, ruins a lot of it. No pauses where needed, jumps from one character to other without a change in cadence. If Audible comes to use or allow this type of narration, I will be only listening to my older audio books.

Narrator, a computer generated voice ruins what might have been a good story

This book would have been much better if it had been read by a real person. The voice was pleasant enough but there was no expression. Every sentence was read in the same flat tone. Please pay real people to read

It was an interesting glimpse into the Jazz age
