About this listen

The season of Epiphany is in full swing at Gwenafwy Abbey when 10 new nuns from a convent in Los Angeles join the community of Anglican sisters in Wales. They bring energy, youthful enthusiasm, and more electronic equipment than Sister Agatha could have imagined.

The arrival of the new nuns brings something else to the Abbey - a bit of unexpected notoriety. Claire Pennoyer, an ambitious young reporter for the Church Times, interviews the new sisters for a feature story. Murder is the last thing on anyone's mind when Claire is found dead on the beach, her mobile phone in the sand. A tragic death, says Constable Barnes. A selfie gone bad. Meanwhile, Sister Agatha is unconvinced and puts on her detective's hat. Clues abound including the mysterious discovery of a missing key baked into the king's cake for the feast of Epiphany. Sister Agatha's tangled list of suspects includes even the abbey's residents - and the beloved archbishop of Wales. Worst of all are her worries about the abbey's beloved Shetland pony, Bartimaeus, who may be reaching the end of a noble life.

Time is running out as Sister Agatha uncovers a shocking reality. Will she reveal the truth hidden in an ancient document before it is too late?

I really enjoyed this series of books, however the narrator was different from the first two books and not quite as good. it took me a few chapters to get used to the change. I liked the story and the twist at the end was good.

Good story, shame about the narrator.

Excellent story but reader voice accents truly terrible. Story spoilt by accents. Will read next book not on audible .

Terrible accents

Great story, but the accents were absolutely awful. almost cringy. the first two books were fab, and the accents ok, this one, way off the mark.

Great story. poor narration

Another great story with a super plot, starring Sister Agatha. This is the third book I’ve read and I’m growing very fond of the main characters. Sadly however, the narration was dreadful. I’ve listened to other books narrated by this lady and she does them no favours. Her syntax is woeful as is her skill at accents. Everyone sounded Swedish!! She has quite a monotonous voice and doesn’t seem to be able to pace herself very efficiently, so the narrative is a bit disjointed. All in all this makes it difficult at times to get the gist of what she’s saying. Honestly, go back to the original narrator- she was fabulous!

Marred by the poor narration

Worst attempt at a Welsh accent ever spoils a good listen. Should have kept to the original reader

Final book in series ruined by laughably bad Welsh
