518IVZIWBxL._SL500_Synopsis: “When heart-throb American tennis coach Todd Winters careens off the road in his speeding car one night and plunges in the river, it seems like a tragic accident. But Winters was a young man with many dangerous secrets, and Harry and Kat discover there’s no shortage of people who wanted him out of the picture. Soon they discover clear evidence: the accident was no accident at all. And now Harry and Kat had best be careful too… even in the genteel world of the Mydworth Lawn Tennis Club, a desperate murderer could be ready to kill again.“

My Review

I really do love this series, and this is another one of my favourite stories so far!

This is book thirteen, and the series is still thankfully going strong. This story is set in Mydworth, and centred around the members and employees of the tennis club, following the tragic death of Todd Winters, the tennis coach. As Harry and Kat investigate they discover some very interesting facts about the former Tennis Coach, which makes them realise that all is not perfect at the club.

Just like in an Agatha Christie mystery everyone seemed suspicious and looked like they could have been involved in the car accident. I was convinced it was one particular character, so when the big reveal came I was pleasantly surprised to discover it was someone else completely!

As always Nathaniel Parker’s narration was perfect.  I loved all the voices he used for all the different characters, particularly Briggs and Julian Manners.

Highly recommended on audio if you enjoy cosy mysteries set in the 1920s.
