A very enjoyable cozy mystery! This is the first in a new series by Nicholas George and the second book in the series - A Lethal Walk in Lakeland - will be released on January 21st.
This book follows a retired American detective as he sets out on a walking tour of Devon, England. A fellow member of the group has been receiving death threats and is the victim of increasingly dangerous "accidents."
Donald Corren was a great narrator; his voices and accents made the quirky cast of characters come alive. I also appreciated the LGBTQ+ representation as that is often hard to find in cozy mysteries. This is a solid cozy mystery that I would recommend for fans of Golden Age mysteries and contemporary cozy authors like M.C. Beaton.
Many thanks to RBMedia and NetGalley for providing a free audiobook ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you RB Media, NetGalley, Nicholas George and narrator Donald Corren for the chance to listen to an advance copy of A Deadly Walk in Devon. This is the first book in a new series featuring a retired San Diego detective who has come to England for a walking tour with a friend only to end up helping to solve a murder. The tour is made up of mostly Americans wanting to tour England and the countryside. When they group stops for the first night one of the members approaches Chase and asks his help because he feels that someone is after him. Within the next couple of days this man has strange “accidents” happen to him until he is murdered and Chase has no choice but to figure out who in the group had it out for him.
I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading more from this author, especially more with this detective.

This fun audiobook has the Agatha Christie-like elements that make a mystery engaging: a likeable heartbroken detective, eccentric suspects, and a puzzling sort of locked room mystery which, in this case, is a foggy cliff's edge and a group of tourists on a walking tour. The narrator is engaging and does the handful of non-American accents well enough to mix the narration up a bit. It would be a great audiobook to bring along with you on your own vacation. A cozy mystery where the puzzle is "who killed the incredibly annoying rich guy?" I had fun trying to figure out who the killer was. This is the first book of a new series called "A Walk Through England." The 2nd book "A Lethal Walk in Lakeland" will be released in late January 2025.

"A Deadly Walk in Devon" is an outstanding who-done-it! I was utterly captivated and finished the book in just one day. The pacing is perfect, making it impossible to put down, and the characters are well-rounded and feel incredibly real. I genuinely appreciate that I couldn't solve the mystery in the first few chapters; it kept me engaged and guessing until the end. I'm eagerly awaiting the physical copy, which will be released on December 23rd. I hope this marks the beginning of many more installments in "A Walk Through England Mystery Series." This book is a must-read for any mystery lover!
I absolutely loved the narrator, Donald Corren. He was perfect for this book!
Thank you NetGalley and RBmedia for the chance to listen to this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

It’s a good one but I would have appreciated it more if it was known that the main characters were gays.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for providing a free audio arc of this book.
The book was ok. It is a murder mystery set in th countryside of England with some insufferable characters. The members of a walking tour group, with the main character being a former detective, find themselves involved in a murder case when one of the members is found to have been pushed from a cliff.
The storyline was pretty straightforward, but nothing really out of the box to surprise you. I did not guess who the murderer was, so that was a plus as normally I can tell who it is right away with these kinds of books. I'm being generous and giving 3 stars as I do think it's a decent quick read on a rainy day. However, I do not think I'll continue on with the series.
