  Review - 5 out of 5 stars: I have been enjoying the Miss Underhay mysteries since the very beginning, so I couldn’t wait to get started on Murder at Midwinter Farm.  This time, Kitty and Matt are investigating on behalf of her friend Alice. The story was an interesting one, the mystery made more complicated by the fact that the murder occurred 10 years previously. I very much enjoyed watching Kitty and Matt (and the police) put together the clues. I was delighted by the setting, it was lovely to see Alice and Robert setting up their future home. Though I did feel rather sorry for them, discovering a dead body before they’ve even moved in! As always, it was lovely to spend time with Kitty and Matt, and their friends and pets. I always enjoy the little glimpses into their domestic life too. It’s nice to see a fictional couple who are happy together. Overall, this was an excellent mystery, and kept me entertained for hours.

It was lovely to share another adventure with Jane and Arthur. This time around, they’re investigating the murder of a young woman who was looking into irregularities with the BBC radio broadcasts.

It is also good to see a main character with an illness, instead of everyone always being 100% healthy. Overall, this was another great read from a favourite author. I definitely recommend it. I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. About the Au...
