Scared to Death - Cherringham - A Cosy Crime Series: Mystery Shorts 27 (Unabridged)

When classic horror movie star Basil Coates becomes the victim of a series of scary pranks, the local police put it down to a crazed fan. Just pranks, after all … But with Halloween only days away, the spectre of murder suddenly visits the ghostly Coates mansion on the hill outside Cherringham – and Jack and Sarah find themselves caught in a mystery worthy of Basil&amp;#39;s spookiest roles … <br/> Cherringham is a serial novel à la Charles Dickens, with a new audio episode released every two weeks. Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly – but with a spot of tea – it&amp;#39;s like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick listen for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa. For fans of Agatha Christie&amp;#39;s Miss Marple series, Lilian Jackson Braun&amp;#39;s The Cat Who series, Caroline Graham&amp;#39;s Midsomer Murders, and the American TV series Murder She Wrote, starring Angela Lansbury. <br/> Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid 90&amp;#39;s, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and – most recently – the successful crime fiction series Cherringham. <br/> The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of &amp;#39;DCI John Barnaby&amp;#39; in &amp;#39;Midsomer Murders&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Jim Riley&amp;#39; in &amp;#39;The Life of Riley&amp;#39;. He is also known for his film roles in &amp;#39;The Nativity&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Sorted&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Son of Rambow&amp;#39;. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as &amp;#39;Norman Birkett&amp;#39; on BBC Radio 4&amp;#39;s Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.
