Über diesen Titel
Miss Marple meets Oscar Wilde in this new series of cosy mysteries set in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bunburry. Here, fudge-making and quaffing real ale in the local pub are matched by an undercurrent of passion, jealousy, hatred and murder - laced with a welcome dose of humour.
This compilation contains episodes 13 - 15.
LOST AND FOUND
Life is looking up for amateur sleuth Alfie McAlister. He has found relatives he never knew he had, and at long last, he has replaced the avocado suite in his bathroom. But he is shocked to get a plea for help from his niece Ruby. He offers her sanctuary in Bunburry - but his invitation brings danger to the village...
WHEN NIGHT FALLS
Bunburry has been rocked by a series of burglaries, and a discovery at the scene of the crime in the home of Bunburry's favourite senior citizens, Liz and Marge, leads amateur sleuth Alfie to fear the worst. He decides that this time, the matter should be left to the proper authorities. But some of the villagers have other ideas...
FOUL PLAY
While Alfie is exploring the private library of a Victorian mansion, he discovers that it contains a century-old secret linked to the writer Oscar Wilde. But when a murder occurs, the only thing to do is call the police...
Nathaniel Parker, born in 1962, graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and went on to join the Royal Shakespeare Company. His television career began in 1988 when he played Flying Officer 'Flash' Gordon in the LWT mini-series Piece of Cake. He is also the lead in the BBC series The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, based on the novels by Elizabeth George. Nathaniel Parker has an extensive list of audio books to his credit, ranging from the classics of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy to more modern writings and children's books.

The way Nathaniel Parker is narrating the stories is brilliant and I like how every character has their own distinct voice. He brings the story to life.
Now to the stories themselves:
The books are getting more and more boring and repetitive as the series continues. So many times common knowledge is repeated - nobody starts with book 14 of a series, so there's no need to explain in every single book that Alfie got his cottage from his aunt or explaining the quirks of Oscar or the character/ personality traits of literally every single person.
The stories are also getting more uninspired and are not complex at all. The conclusions are too fast and Helena Marchmont repeats unnecessary stuff, but doesn't spend enough time on relevant and interesting things.
Spoiler alert:
The only interesting development are the feelings between Alfie and Emma. It made me briefly happy to think, that they would have a good talk and to get together.
But it made me extremely angry that an apparently very mature, emotionally intelligent, gentle and intuitive Alfie just ~assumes~ to know what Emma is thinking. Not once does he try to talk to her or explain his point of view.
I'm glad I only used one credit to buy these three books and not three credits. Otherwise I would've felt cheated.
In the beginning I really enjoyed listening to the stories and I hope that the next ones will be better. If not, I'll be sad to leave this little village and it's people behind. But glad to escape the repetition and the mediocre writing.
Very underwhelming, but Nathaniel Parker is as good as always
