Members Reviews:

Terrific narrator!

amateur sleuth, women sleuths, murder investigation, cozy mystery

The publisher's blurb gives hints and there is no need for spoilers, several other reviewers have given a potted version of the plot. The author always gives a good twisty tale with no gratuitous erotica but with a solid plot and very realistic characters, and this one is a good example of her craft. So grab your caffeine, lounge a bit and enjoy!

I lucked out and got the audio delightfully narrated by Michelle Babb. If anyone can make a good book even better, it's Ms Babb!

A cozy mystery that's truly cozy

Darcy Campbell and her mother, Flora Tucker, are back in another murder mystery in Ventris County, Oklahoma.

In the midst of a violent storm, a stranger is murdered in an isolated and now-abandoned shack. Except this man is not a stranger; he is soon identified as Pat Harris's long-missing husband, Walter. Their son, Jasper, has, as he often does for reasons that make sense to him, vanished into the woods, making him by normal standards an obvious suspect.

When a friend is the next person to die, it gets harder and harder for Darcy to listen to the insistence of Grant, the local sheriff, that she leave the investigation to him and his deputy. The new preacher goes missing, Ventris River and Lee Creek are flooding, food is vanishing from the Jenkins twins' home--what's going on? Is the supernatural as well as human mischief involved?

I really like Darcy, Flora, and their neighbors and friends. We continue to learn more about the history that ties them to the Jenkins family, and Darcy, at loose ends since the death of her husband, which brought her back to Ventris County, is beginning to get her feet back under and find her new direction. It's an enjoyable mystery, and an enjoyable series.

As always, Michelle Babb does an excellent job narrating, putting life into all the characters.

Recommended.

Great Story With Perfect Narrator

Blanche Day Manos has crafted another great mystery in her Darcy and Flora series. Darcy and Flora are a well crafted daughter and mother living in a small town in Oklahoma. They are well rounded characters who still have room to grow. Darcy's love interest Grant is the county sheriff and her high school sweetheart. Grant is slowly growing and becoming a more prominent character that will and can grow in future books. The plot is intriguing and has lots of twist and turns. The story keeps you interested to the very end.

Michelle Babb is the perfect narrator for this series. She brings Darcy and Flora to life.

Members Reviews:

wonderful story

this book 3 in the series. However, i have read book 1 but not 2. I look forward to getting this one too. I have enjoyed these books they are cute, funny. The characters are very likable. Poor Amelia, she is a kitchen witch but can't cook. Murder seems to follow her around. I recommend this book and the series if you love clean, fun and full of mystery books. I received the audio book free and i am giving a honest review. Look forward to more in this series.

Made even better by the narrator!

WARNING: Do not read as library copy or as a print copy if consuming a beverage! Will cause spewing.

Morgana's books make me want to do spoilers. Not really about the plot, but because of the situational humor. The publisher's blurb gives clues to plot, but cannot prepare you for the twists or appreciate the geat fun and laughter it causes. Poor Amelia always thought that she was hopeless at using a stove. Turns out that she is a hereditary kitchen witch. She came to learn this when her aunt died and left her the house, the business, and her friends. The business is a bakery, and the house has a mind of its own. This is the third murder in this series. Don't miss it! I dare you to go 2 or 3 pages without cackling!

Tiffany Dougherty gives a remarkable performance once again!

another winner!

Absolutely loved it! Excellent story with near perfect narration. Amelia's back at it and my favorite thyme is always near by. I

love this author and particularly love the narration. Can't go wrong with this one!

Wonderful book and great narration

Morgana Best doesn't disappoint in this story and Tiffany Dougherty brings it marvelously to life. Once again Amelia and her friends have to figure out who the murderer is and why they did it. Of course her house helps out as well.

Publisher's Summary:

It's the week before Thanksgiving, and business is bounteous for Trudie and Zach's catering company, A Fine Fix, beginning with a posh art exhibit at the prestigious Christine Dugan Gallery. When the guest list includes art connoisseurs, wealthy collectors, and prominent socialites, not to mention a well-respected art critic from The Washington Post, a successful event can only mean future bookings. But the discovery of a gruesome murder brings the high-class evening to a screeching halt. In the days that follow, Trudie faces a cornucopia of troubles as her curiosity lands her in plenty of hot gravy. Not even her new canine friend, Zeus, can protect her against threats to her life or keep the killer off her trail. Trying to get her footing and find the murderer is like walking through a sweet potato casserole. Trudie has seen how deadly art can be, and now she's a sitting duck. Recipes Included.

Members Reviews:

The best culinary mystery I've read!

I have read many culinary mysteries, but I think this is the best one yet! Trudie caters an art exhibition showing the works of her baker partner's lesbian partner, Rose. At the exhibition, the owner of the gallery gets murdered with the necklace given to her by Rose. The police arrest Rose, though Trudie is certain of her innocence and is determined to help prove that.

The characters in this book are well-written, and I love the dog in the book. Trudie helps out Rose, who does agility competitions with Zeus, by filling in for her at the state finals because Rose is still stuck in jail, waiting to get a chance to get bail.

I really love the way that Trudie uses food words to swear with. "That scared the shitake out of me!"

I also was impressed that the book contains a lesbian couple, something unusual for cozy mysteries.

DISCLAIMER: I received this book for free from the author, but that had no influence on my review.

Just Okay

I listened to book one in this series but I have not read or listened to book 2 so maybe that is part of my problem. I thought Kirstin James did a nice job with the narration. Kirstin has a pleasant voice but I did find the changing of voices for the characters a bit distracting. The story was okay but again it was missing something for me. I was gifted this audio-book with the understanding that I would leave an honest review.

excellent read

Good story line and very enjoyable read with loads of yummy recipes at the end!!!

My heart began to rise like a pop over in the oven

Any additional comments?

Some cozy mysteries can be superb, with a simple story, great characters and dialogue, and sense of time and place. Others are just - cozy. This one falls somewhere in the middle. There are some great characters, at times reasonably developed, and the idea of a catering company allows for overhearing evidence in passing conversation. The story itself was rather silly, but then, this is a 'cozy'. It would probably make a delightful T.V. adaptation with actors fully entering into the lives of the characters and enhancing their personalities. An enjoyable frivolous evening's entertainment along the lines of Midsommer Murders.

Unfortunately, the overacting of the narrator, whose voice changes from cloying sweetness to angry bull at the slightest opportunity, increased the sense of silliness.

Language: English

Release date: 12-29-16

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Publisher's Summary:

What happens to an unhappy woman who leaves her husband only to discover that she may have just made a terrible mistake? So horrible, her choice threatens to end her very life?

Susan believes that the grass is greener on the other side. Not that her current life is bad, necessarily; it's just boring and lifeless, kind of like the old matted rug on her dining room floor. Susan thinks her marriage has just grown - well, old. Her husband, Bob, has gained tremendous weight and continues to gain, and his health suffers. She must work at a job she hates full-time to provide the little sustenance they have. He, on the other hand, works very little (because of his health) and prefers spending his days watching television or surfing the Internet. Besides, there's her problem of not getting pregnant that can't help but contribute to his unhappiness.

Can Susan continue to live her life at the hotel knowing that she might be killed herself or imprisoned for life? Will she be able to find the real murderer with the help of the eccentric Ms. Martha Boaz?

Members Reviews:

Cozy mystery that is a lot of fun

What did you love best about Scrambled?

This cozy mystery was a lot of fun to read. Well written with some very eccentric characters, Ms. Jones told a story that had plenty of twists and turns and a great sense of humor.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes it did. I won't spoil it, but Ms. Boaz was the one who surprised me the most. Besides Susan/Jenny, she was my favorite character.

Have you listened to any of Lauren Holladays other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first time I've listened to her. She really brought the story to life. I'll listen to more of her narrations in the future.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a few times, no extreme reactions, but it was a fun read.

Any additional comments?

I hope that Ms. Jones puts her other books in audio format. I would definitely listen to her mysteries.

Egg-cellent!

A really fun cozy mystery, with great, eccentric characters. I highly recommend it! The narration was so much fun! Looking forward to the releases of the next Susan Cramer Mysteries on Audible.

Shelby Hart the newest Nancy Drew

The gang at Shady Acre are once again in the midst of trying to find out who poisoned one of the residents. You really didn't think that Shelby Hart the Shady Acre Nancy Drew could go several days without a mystery did you?

Alice Johnson the manager of Shady Acres is the next to be poisoned and immediately Shelby, Grandma Ida, Heath, Cheryl and Sue Ellen (Shelby's Mom and daughter of Grandma Ida) with retired police officer Ted are setting off to find who has planted all these poison plants on the Shady Acre property.

Add in a new Chef Joyce Rhodes and her two new employees, Susan Hall and Lori Brown. Who could be responsible?

The newest addition is Detective Seth Willis, who immediately finds Cheryl the 3rd grade school teacher and Shelby's best friend desirable and wanting to get to know her better. Is happy to assist with the clues the gang have gathered.

There were two areas that were interested that were mentioned and just dropped with no follow up. Lets see if you can find them. This series is light, funny at times and an easy read. I like to switch back and forth especially after reading something very deep and dark. S

Five Stars

Love the series. Love the author and would recommend All her books.

Watch what you eat!

Another really good murder mystery. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. I like the involvement of the three-generation family in the sleuthing.

Lia & the dog park crew tackle another murder

Lia Anderson is back with another murder mystery about to absorb the intelligence, nosiness, and human concern of herself and her dog park friends.

A local author has disappeared from a literary convention in Texas, just as Lia is building a float in his honor for a parade at home. It appears that he's been kidnapped, but there are no real clues leading the police anywhere. And obviously it has nothing to do with the Cincinnati police or the Mt. Airy Dog Park gang, right?

Except that Lucas Cross, bestselling author, is really Leroy, a local man, not at all literary, acting as the front for Fiber and Snark.

Fiber and Snark is a group of local knitters who sell their goods to raise funds for a local cat rescue. Leroy's disappearance is bringing "Lucas Cross" entirely too much attention, and the ladies are afraid they could be not only found out, but accused of defrauding the public. The ladies want him found, but they can't talk to the police.

So they approach Lia.

It's bad enough when Leroy is merely missing and this isn't even a Cincinnati case. Lia is still in a tricky position, keeping such a big secret from her almost-live-in boyfriend, Cincinnati homicide detective Peter Dourson, even as their relationship grows deeper and Peter is looking for some permanence. It gets a lot worse when the body of one of the Fiber and Snark ladies falls out of the decorative gun on Lia's float during the parade--dead.

It's a very good mystery that kept me involved. I love how Lia and Peter's relationship continue to grow and develop, along with the personalities and relationships at the dog park. Newsome and these books keep getting better and better.

Recommended.

Witch Myth: A Yew Hollow Cozy Mystery Book 2

This book was as great as book zero of the series. I was hooked from start and it continued with the same characters and a few new ones. It was hard to put down. I enjoyed it very much and can't wait to read more from this author. If you enjoy mysteries you will like this series.

This book will delight the magic in you!

I love your stories. They take me out of and place, entertain and delight the magic in me. Your characters aren't super hero's, just regular people trying to do their best. Even the villain, Dominic, is not glorified-- which should be the case and way for villains in real life.

The author did an amazing job!!

You have to read the first book to understand how the witch ended up where she did. Again, Alexandria Clarke has managed to do what some authors haven't an inkling know how to do. She has managed to reel you into the story like you're a part of the story. I will definitely be watching for more books from her. I recommend this book to anyone that loves a great cozy mystery.

Compelling story

Well written story with complex, well-developed characters involved in an interesting story line that actually has an ending, for a change rather than a cliffhanger. I enjoyed it very much, even if it had a touch too much violence for my taste..

Crazy good!

I chose the five star rating for this book because I could not put it down until I finished it. And it's been a long time since that's happened. I think this book would be good for teenagers young adults.

That's if Nora can stay alive long enough to find him.

Members Reviews:

Hoping there will be more Nick and Nora books!

I have enjoyed the three books of this series, and I really want more. Nick is such a special cat, and helps Nora investigate crimes. As an avid cat person, and an avid reader, I love stories that recognize the unique talents of our furry friends.

Scolding the cat is useless

Nora is asked to solve a mystery while catering an event for the museum, and trying to figure out what happened to her cat's former owner. The events are a tangle, yet Nora manages to straighten them out. Her cat, Nick, is intelligent and helps Nora, yet she frequently scolds him when he gives her clues. A cat who knows what Scrabble tiles are for, is worthy of praise.

loved this series

wonderful story. loved every minute. great sip and read piece. waiting for the next one.

What a great series

I have really enjoyed the Nick and Nora series, and this book is a great addition. I truly enjoy stories where animals take the lead, especially cats. I highly recommend this book.

Entertaining

I enjoy reading the books in this series. The plot and the characters are interesting and entertaining. I can't wait for the next book.
