Thanks, 5Card. We've fallen in love with these. Listening to these turned us on to Charles Paris, which are fun too. Just wish he'd written more Mrs.P books! lol Thanks a bunch again, :)) Eff
I have enjoyed Simon Brett's books for many years.
Thanks for the posting.

Very nice sentiments, Fivecard and I thank you for them. I simply noted them as I was passing by.
Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome to all those who said thanks. Just trying in small part to repay the kindness I've found here.
Another new one to me! Love mysteries! Thank you! Don't know if anybody else has said so, but thank you for putting the epubs up with the audio books. Sometime you just want to read a good book!
Another great series, thank you for uploading them! I have to admit I didn’t really take to Mrs. Pargeter, being a cook’s widow she could steam roll through the all the problems most amateur sleuths run up against.
Damn I meant to say *crook*!
Thank You!
