"'Narrators [Meg] Price and [Jim] Meskimen's increasing playfulness with the characters and the twists and turns of the plot make this an enjoyable listening experience.' —Kirkus Reviews on The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective
Months after the shocking murders at Marigold Cottages, eccentric landlady Mrs. B finds the peace and quiet a little too peaceful. That’s why she invites her young friend CJ Moore to move into a now-vacant cottage: CJ is a suspect in the death of her employer, a wealthy Santa Barbara philanthropist who tumbled down the stairs of his mansion during a dinner party. The dead man’s much-younger widow claims she saw CJ push him, but Mrs. B is certain that she’s innocent. Why? Oh, just a feeling.
That’s enough for her to summon the Marigold Cottages Murder Collective. Lily-Ann will marshal the facts, Hamilton will dig around online, Sophie and Nicholas will offer eyewitness testimony, and everyone will hope that Ocean keeps Mrs. B out of trouble.
Just as the tenants begin to suspect that Elsa is in fact the perpetrator, there’s a second murder. A bloodier one. And with their tight-knit community in the crosshairs, they must prove her innocence—or accept her guilt.
'[Narrator Meg] Price ... effortlessly [shifts] ages (kids to eighties!), mannerisms, [and] personalities. [Narrator Jim] Meskimen seamlessly interrupts with his own versatile characterizations of tenants and outsiders.' —Booklist on The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective
A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books"
"Mrs B, landlady of the Marigold Cottages, only rents to tenants she cares about: anxious playwright Sophie, agoraphobic over-sharer Hamilton, single mum and sculptor Ocean, perfectionist Lily-Ann, and secretive Nicholas. Their peaceful lives are upended when quiet, hulking, fresh-out-of-prison Anthony moves in, and weeks later, a dead body is found. Anthony is arrested, but Mrs B, convinced of his innocence, confesses to the crime. The tenants form 'The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective' to clear her name, uncovering secrets and growing closer - until a second body turns up. Can the collective unravel the mystery without falling foul of the killer?"
