Rather than criticizing the narrator, the quality of audio productions lies with the editor and director. As always, the plot and characters are entertaining and humorous.

While I also hate when a publisher changes the narrator mid-way through a series, the author maintains the quality better than most do.

I love, love, love this series and feel the need to defend against the critics who complained that a CLEAN story can't contain a non-traditional relationship. Of course, those are likely the same folks who believe all forms of human affection is DIRTY. FYI, there is little to no explicit gore or sexual situations but - horror of horrors - there are diverse characters.

While I loved Chet the dog, I find Bernie the former cop more annoying and less intelligent. Since Chet was a trained K9 dog, he attempts to "tell" Bernie when he finds a clue, yet Bernie seems oblivious to some obvious evidence. Also, Bernie seems incapable of running a financially successful business, just fumbling from one cash crisis to another.

FYI, I tried the next few books in this series but became frustrated that Bernie never appears to learn from his mistakes. As a dedicated father, Bernie absolutely loves his son Charlie yet fails to make any effort to provide financial stability. It's just not entertaining when a parent does not pay child support - kids require lots of money.

While this could have been an amazing story, the author did not make the details match reality.

American Beryl was introduced as a multiple divorcee in 1920 when divorce was extremely rare. Only divorced women of great wealth or entertainers were accepted in polite society. It was also stated that Beryl intentionally avoided motherhood at a time that birth control was non-existent. Somehow, Beryl managed to travel the world alone without being labeled a harlot and receive positive publicity in international newspapers.

In addition, English Edwina inherited her father's estate at a time when unmarried women had no property rights - everything would have gone to the nearest male relative. Edwina somehow managed to survive for at least a few years with no income, before finally deciding to take in boarders. Her family background was hardly mentioned or explained - there had to be a distant cousin somewhere.

The age of these 2 friends was never defined, but any lady born in the 1800s would have obeyed strict rules of decorum in fear of being ostracized, especially in a small village. Why was it suddenly acceptable that Beryl and Edwina could visit a man's home un-chaperoned or accuse someone of murder without evidence.

Author, please do your historical homework.

AC Expressway NOT in CMC

Since I lived in Cape May County for more than 30 years, I am always intrigued by a series set in an area I know well. The fictional town of Ocean Crest was described as 7 or 8 miles north of Cape May City, the southern tip of NJ.

So, I wanted to scream when the author placed the Atlantic City Expressway in the wrong county. FYI, the ONLY highway in Cape May County is the Garden State Parkway which starts in Cape May City and goes north to the NY state line. The AC Expressway runs east/west from Philly to Atlantic City.

While this series has some potential, the main character seems awfully young for her actual age. Since Lucy managed to graduate from law school and practice in Philly for years, she has to be at least 30 and too mature and/or smart to squabble with a high school rival. Yes, the other girl was obnoxious, but most adults do NOT revert to childish behavior that easily.

Also, Lucy would have learned more subtle techniques for asking questions in law school. In her attempt to solve Heather's murder, Lucy is brass, insulting and downright rude at times.

Note to author: don't create an intelligent, educated female character than have her act like she is the bimbo on a reality show.

This humorous mystery series is extremely entertaining, with a wide variety of characters from teens to senior citizens.

There is no gore, graphic sex or profanity which totally suits the genre; romantic relationships are not the focus.

This Golden Girls meets Murder She Wrote series just seems to get better. I have all 10 or 11 of the books and desperately hope there will be more.

FYI, there is no graphic violence or sexual situations but let's not call it clean - human intimacy is not dirty just unnecessary for entertainment to some adults.

Mac is almost a perfect male character: loyal, supportive and easy going. It seems too good to be true that a non-white character would be so easily accepted in a small Maine town, even in the 2020s. I understand why the author chose to gloss over the reality of an inter-racial romantic relationship, but it rings false.

I was not surprised that many reviewers found this detailed story of racism in southern America boring and not worth their effort. Sadly, many European Americans do not want to be reminded that their ancestors invaded a foreign country and committed genocide against all those who looked different: Natives, Africans, Asians etc.

The author created fascinating characters with unique backgrounds, showing how events from previous centuries are still relevant today. Florida in 2025 is still a place where racial hatred is alive and well, being strongly supported by too many residents who claim to follow the carpenter who preached love, compassion and kindness thousands of years ago.
