Death descends on the New Forest in Ann Granger's gripping eighth Victorian mystery featuring Scotland Yard's Inspector Ben Ross and his wife, Lizzie.

It is Spring 1871 when Lizzie Ross accompanies her formidable Aunt Parry on a restorative trip to the south coast. Lizzie's husband, Ben, is kept busy at Scotland Yard and urges his wife to stay out of harm's way. But when Lizzie and her aunt are invited to dine with other guests at the home of wealthy landowner Sir Henry Meager, and he is found shot dead in his bed the next morning, no one feels safe.

On Lizzie's last visit to the New Forest, another gruesome murder took place, and the superstitious locals now see her as a bad omen. But Lizzie suspects that Sir Henry had a number of bitter enemies, many of whom might have wanted him dead. And once Ben arrives to help with the investigation, he and Lizzie must work together to expose Sir Henry's darkest secrets and a ruthless killer intent on revenge....

I enjoyed this latest book of the Inspector Ross and Lizzie series. The main characters were as likeable as before. Many of the usual supporting characters ( Bessie, Sergeant Morris, Walter Slater etc) were hardly or not featured though as the background was not London. However, the other set of supporting cast was great too.
The story was interesting too, and made a great cosy listen.
I look forward to the next book in the series.

Interesting story with likeable characters
