Death of an Old Git. A cosy English village murder mystery audiobook

Cosy crime.
Full length audio book.
1st book in the Falconer Files Series by Andrea Frazer.
In the village of Castle Farthing a mean-spirited, spiteful, curmudgeonly old man is found drugged and strangled in the kitchen of his cottage, with no obvious clues to the perpetrator of the crime.
DI Falconer and Acting DS Carmichael are summoned from the police headquarters in the nearby town of Market Darley and begin to uncover a web of grudges against the old man and a sea of familial connections between those who knew him.
As the heat of July continues relentlessly, tempers flare, disturbing the usual rural calm of the village, and the normally imperturbable Harry Falconer. Faced with a crime with no obvious prime suspect and the idiosyncrasies of his new partner, Carmichael, is he gradually losing his grip on the case as the body count rises?

Hi everyone, I’m Andrea’s daughter Charlotte. Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments. It means a lot to me, my dad and my siblings that Andrea’s work is being enjoyed by so many of you. I know she would be really proud of this channel, and so happy that her work has reached so many of you. I hope you will enjoy all the audio books to come. Thank you for your support. Xxx

[@lyndaa7560]

Congratulations on having such a talented Mother, I’m very sorry that you lost her so early but she left a great legacy behind which is bringing enjoyment to lots of listeners & readers. Much love to your Father, your siblings & to you Charlotte xxxx

[@charlottebaldwin3135]

@@lyndaa7560 Thank you so much for your reply. And thank you for your support. It keeps her memory, and her talent alive. Xxx

[@vespadavidson2315]

Hello Charlotte, wonderful stories from your mater. Most enjoyable. Somewhere in the MC Beaton, Simon Brett school of detectives.! Excellent as an audio book, which brings me to my point, the kind of listener these books attract will, I suspect, not be impressed with AI narration. I certainly, will never listen to it. If you and your father wish to continue to promote these books successfully, please consider avoiding AI. Life is soulless enough as it is.! Nevertheless, much appreciated and well loved.

[@littleowldme]

Aww, bless you Charlotte. And thank you 🥰

[@kathytappero7179]

As a blind person I thank you for sharing these stories in audiobook form.

[@andreahughes1500]

What a lovely way to memorialize a loved one! ❤

[@suemoore509]

Thank you thank you for having a decent narrator and not AI! Very much appreciated ❤

[@vespadavidson2315]

As soon as any narration is AI... I'm off. The world is vacuous enough without listening to a talking machine.! Thank you very much for the books you have done using a human being as narrator. Much appreciated.

[@dianelakata1308]

I, as well. Will not listen to an AI production.

[@donnarogers7732]

O will not listen to SI . I want a human being reading toe. Please reconsider the use of AI. It is a very artificial voice and there's ENOUGH FAKE in our society as there is. PLEASE PLEASE RECONSIDER AI USE.😜👎

[@scathatch]

Listening to AI is like a form of aural torture

[@beewasere]

Same. It makes me think the story is bullcrap too, even it’s not. Can’t listen.

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

Hi Anthony. Thank you for letting us listen to these books. I was wondering if you ever thought of narrating books yourself, as you have a marvellous voice.

[@jackyfreeman5530]

I'm amazed that you had to go to these lengths to get your wife's books out to the public ! This is a terrific story with a top notch narrator, thanks so much for your time and effort.❤❤😊😊

[@roslyncoward3222]

I loved this! What a great way to remember your late wife and showcase her work.

[@hannahoron9740]

This is deja-bloody-vu! Brilliant! I am so sorry that you have lost your beloved wife. But I find it so very loving to have made the decision and effort to get the books back and put them out as audiobooks! I love these cozy mysteries, set in the quintessential English village, with intrigue everywhere you look. Thank you very much for sharing! From Holland.

[@carrieb9106]

Thank you for carrying on your wife Andrea's legacy. I am so happy to listen t them. I enjoy Simon Brett's Jude and Carol mysteries. 😮This is a most wonderful gift to us and to Andrea. She's probably smiling now. I wish I would've read some before I'm going listen tonight. Much love and thanks.

[@charlottearaki7104]

Andrea Frazer is the only author I have ever written a fan letter to. She has given me so much reading joy. I was devastated when I read of her death. It's been a while now since I read her final book and am enjoying the revisit with this excellent narrator. Thanks so much for making these available.

[@melodyappleton465]

Loved the book. She’s a great writer. The world has lost a wonderful storyteller

[@lilyandthecats636]

Thank you Anthony, a lovely way to honour Andrea and her talent as a writer

[@auntyJanette]

It’s Sunday and my dear husband is away for a few days. This is relevant… I listened, uninterrupted, to this beautifully narrated story and enjoyed it very much. I’m very pleased to hear the narrator is going to continue with this series. I recommend this novel with much enthusiasm. I look forward to listening to #2 in the series. Thank you for presenting these to your audience. 💛💛🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@littleowldme]

Nice to have a male narrator, their voices are more soothing. I've enjoyed this book. It is very wholesome, even though a murder mystery. Reminds me of MC Beaton of Agatha Raisin.

[@nancyhammons3594]

I'm terribly sad, it seems I'm late to learning of Mistress Andrea's books. This is the first one that I've found and while I'm only half an hour into it, I love this book. Thank you so much to her husband and family for letting us listen to this wonderful work.

[@anthonyfrazer3939]

If you look out there there are many more books of hers to find

[@tonietteh2015]

One hour in and i am alteady in love with her writing style!! Her characters and descriptions of them and events are as splendid as Agatha Christie ! Love this story and cannot wait to hear more of her stories ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@maudieg8459]

This was a fun story! Love the tongue in cheek presentation of the foibles of the various characters. Thank you for making the book available as an audiobook. I hope to hear more about the local folks in the villages and the mysterious goings-on there.

[@heatherstorm2483]

Fabulous characters, I love them! It's just so entertaining. I'm so sad that Andrea is no longer with us, what a wonderful mind she had. Good on you for sharing her beauty with the rest of us, I'm grateful. Terrific narrator too, and that makes a big difference.

[@pjackson2064]

I am very sorry for your loss, and the loss to us, too. For such a gifted writer. I enjoy the story very much. As an avid fan of P.G. Wodehouse, it was also very easy with this story, to see the people and surroundings in one's mind eyes. Thank you for sharing this

[@melissaweller3718]

I loved this story, the characters, the plot. In an earlier post I mentioned a skip in the audio- I deleted that comment, because my earphones were to the cause. The narrator is fabulous. What a tribute to your wife o take on this project. I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series,

[@ruthwalton3457]

So glad this came up in my recommendations. Wonderful, thank you for uploading .

[@gailhowes9398]

I loved this story and am waiting to listen to the next! There is lots of twist and turns as well as action and a great sense of humour🤗🤭🥰

[@anthonyfrazer3939]

Thanks for your kind comments. There will be a number of Andrea's other books uploaded before book 2 of the Falconer Files, why not give them a go. Also, I will cheekily ask if you could get your friends to subscribe to the channel (did you subscribe?) to help enable more audio books to be produced.

I would never choose a book with a title like this .. but I do enjoy cosy crime going to bed.. and watching it with mum and dad eg midsummer murders. So looking forward to checking it out

A wonderful who-dunnit and a bit of a surprise. Even when the killer's identity was revealed, they were still my favorite character. I would like to extend my gratitude to Anthony Frazer for his relentless efforts to make sure his late wife's talent and skill has been made known to the world at large.

[@user-kd7xq8jh1o]

What a fabulous find! I do a lot of handwork, and love a good audiobook to engage my mind at the same time. This is my first book, and certainly won’t be my last. I am just loving everything about it. The humour, I can just picture the characters, and the wonderful narrator just make it such a pleasure to listen to. Andrea has left a lovely legacy that will give many audiobook listeners great pleasure. Thank you so much 🥰

[@zargonfuture4046]

I finished listening to this the first of Audrea's stories and cannot express my joy earnestly enough on listening to it while I worked away quietly at night on my odd little jobs I needed to do. It does have every thing of the genre, delightful and very well written. Thank you for putting it up for us and thank you for letting Andrea's work be available on this platform. To you the Frazier family blessings.

I really enjoyed this well-plotted mystery. Beautifully narrated and wriiten with a keen eye for human foibles, the array of characters quickly draw you in. I loved the dry humour, too - especially the reactions to Carmichael's wardrobe.

Thankyou so much. I have just discovered these books and heard the first in the Falconer series, it is that rarest of things a book that you can just get lost in and charachters that are so brilliantly described and well rounded that you feel like you have known them for ages. I so look forward to hearing the rest.

[@jasminebean5762]

A who done it in the style of Christie, Sayers, Brett and really enjoyable with a great cast of characters. Like others this is my first encounter with this author and I look forward to hearing more. With diminishing sight audio books are the only way I can still enjoy a good book, thank you.

I'ts so sad that your wife didn't get to see her success as an author but thank you for sharing her work with a fan base she never knew she had. This is my first of her novels Ive read but shall definitely look out for future releases. You're keeping her memory alive.... excellent narration although I dont know how I'll fare with AI. As an autistic person the false voice may not be bearable but I look fwd to the human narrated versions.

Wonderful Audiobook. The very best kind of story written by a talented writer. Very deserving of a fitting narrator. Although I realize the reasoning behind using AI, it cannot replace the a human voice and intonation. I am off to search for the next in the series.
