Louise finds a dead man inside a house that some might believe is abandoned. Louise wants to find out who the murderer is; however, she fears it may be someone she views as a friend. Since her nieces are in town, Louise has to split her time between family and investigating.

As the series continues, the relationships and the chemistry between the main protagonist, Louise, and the secondary characters are getting stronger. I love the rescue cats living in the bookstore setting. The mystery kept me guessing who the murderer might have been. The storyline kept me entertained as I followed the clues to whodunit.

I listened to the audio version of this book. The narrator speaks clearly with wonderful accents and characteristics of the characters. This adds to the experience of reading the book.

If you like cozy mysteries in a bookstore and cats are part of the cast of characters, then you will love this book.

Keeps you guessing

Revisado: 01-29-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

When Louise finds a local who has been known as the town bully since his school years is found dead, but the police think it is a suicide, Louise believes the opposite. Louise is determined to find the killer before they get away with murder.

This is the second book in the series, and the characters' development has come a long way. Lousie and the other characters are realistic; they are not without their flaws. The mystery is well-plotted with well-placed red herrings to throw the reader off the trail.

I listened to the audio version of this book. The narrator did a great job bringing out the personalities of the characters. She has a pleasant voice to listen to.

Interesting cozy

Revisado: 01-09-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I have to preface this to say this may not be a book for everyone right now.

Frannie and her husband are working has the hosts of a campground during the height of the pandemic. While dealing with the management and upkeep of a campground, they are having to keep their grandchildren because the daughter-in-law is in the hospital with the virus. In the middle of trying to homeschool and keep things positive for the kids they stumble over a dead body.

I was not that bothered by the fact the book takes place during the pandemic. I was still able to enjoy this mystery. I think things are far enough removed that you can relate to this affects the characters without being too raw and real, for me at least. It was interesting to see how campgrounds dealt with keeping people safe. The mystery aspect was well-written with plenty of twists and turns. I didn’t figure out who was behind the attack.

I listened to the audio version of the book. The narrator does a fabulous job bringing the characters to life. She is great at distinguishing each character’s voice and able to bring out the characters’ emotions.

Frannie Shoemaker and her friends are visiting the campground in the area where Meriweather Lewis died over two hundred years before. Like many historians Frannie and her brother-in-law debate if Lewis was murdered or committed suicide. When history seems to be repeating itself Frannie can’t help but get involved to solve the suspicious death of one of the campers.

I love this series. This book is a great addition to the series. I always enjoy reading about the gang’s camping adventures and all the trouble Frannie seems to find herself in. The characters are relatable and interesting. The mystery is well-plotted and entertaining with plenty of suspects and red herrings,

I listened to the audio version of the book. Narrator Michelle Babb is great at bringing the characters to life. She really captures each character’s voice and personality.

Short but great mystery

Revisado: 05-25-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Stacie and her friend are shopping at the mall when they hear shots fired. Stacie sees that Santa’s elf has been shot. She goes to help the girl until the first responders arrive. They notice a couple of suspicious men on scene. Stacie and her friends get involved in the investigation and it seems they now have a target on their backs too.

This is the fifth book in the series but my first. I had no problems with understanding the characters and their relationships. This was an interesting story and pulled me in from the beginning. It is a short story but does not lack any components of a good mystery. There were plenty of suspects and twists and turns to keep me guessing. I will definitely read more of this series in the future.

I listened to the audio version of the book. The narrator does a wonderful job with the characters and story telling. She has a pleasant voice that makes listening to the story enjoyable.

Case Near and Dear to Mitzy

Revisado: 02-26-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

My favorite in the series so far. Mitzy and Sheriff Harper are on a road trip back to Mitzy’s past. The two are headed back to Arizona to investigate the cold case of Mitzy’s mom. Although Mitzy is leaving her Ghost-ma and Pyewacket back in Pin Cherry Harbor, she finds a way to keep them involved in her investigation with video conference equipment.

Even though this is an emotional trip for Mitzy she still manages to keep her snarky personality that we all love. The mystery is well written and kept me guessing until the end. Mitzy and Sheriff Harper grow much closer through this shared journey and I think Mitzy is seeing she can let him know a little more of the real Mitzy.

I listened to the audio version of the book. The narrator is wonderful at bringing the story and the characters to life. She really captures each characters’ personality. She has a pleasant voice that allows you to lose yourself in the story.
