I really enjoyed the characters of this book, and Sarah especially, but I felt very let down by the plot. Although the premise of the story was interesting, the murderer was glaringly obvious - especially since the book is called "Murder at an English Pub". That gave it away immediately, and I was even more convinced I'd guessed right when none of the murders themselves actually took place in a pub. The fact that the very title of the book refers to the killer is frustrating to me and I struggle to understand just why the author did it. But as I said, the characters themselves were sufficiently developed, each with their own backgrounds and motives, and the little twists and turns in their own personal lives is what kept me listening until the end.
