A BITTER REMEDY The Oxford Mysteries, Book 1

Ffion Aynsley and Iestyn Arwel portray the characters in this story of murder and deception in 1881 Oxford. Aynsley morphs into determined and clever Non Vaughan, a Welsh polymath recently admitted to Jesus College at Oxford. Aynsley's vocal performance features a melodic Welsh lilt that ebbs and flows with Non's emotions. Arwel breathes life into Basil Rice, a Jesus College fellow and tutor to first-year student Sidney Parker, who is found dead in his lodgings, his room littered with patent medicines. Puzzle-loving Non joins Basil in seeking clues to ferret out the truth behind Parker's death. Welsh sayings flow effortlessly from Aynsley, adding aural delight to a challenging mystery. M.B.K.
