A Great Listen

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and it is great. Deena Sharpe maybe pushing 60, but she's still causing trouble and having fun. She's decided to quit investigating until her brother's best friend is main suspect in a murder. Deena out to find the real murderer and deal with her visiting mother-in-law at the same time. Cozy Suburb Mystery Series have lots of suspense and humour.

Fun Listen!

This is such a fun series and enjoyable listen. The narration fits this cozy story and the character of Deena is so cute and quirky. I find so much of the story as relatable to life. The humor is good too. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written the review. This is a clean story and appropriate for most ages. It is a standalone listen and not a cliffhanger.

Keeps getting better and better!!

The characters are well written and defined. And, as usual with the bad guys in the Cozy Suburbs Mystery Series, the bad guys have no heart at all. I can relate to the good guys in this series, but these bad guys.... I guess I just can't fathom people this bad. But, then again, I think I lead a sheltered life.

If you want a great mystery/cop story with action packed reading, this is definitely the book for you. I warn you though. Once you start with your first, you will be a fan for all of them.

I recommend this book highly.

Love This Series!

When a famous author's wife is murdered, Deena once again gets pulled into the investigation. Trouble always seems to find our girl, even when she's not looking for it. Can she solve the murder mystery or will she become the next victim? More importantly, will she ever learn how to bake her husband's favorite cake? Deena has her hands full with a vindictive murderer on the loose, flying office supplies, presbyopia, her mother-in-law and other scary things.

For a retired middle-aged woman, Deena certainly manages to get into a lot of serious scrapes. How fortunate for us, the listeners! This series just keeps getting better and better and the characters have come to feel like old friends. I can't wait to see what Deena's up to next. What a fun series!

The story wouldn't be the same without Kelley Hazen as the narrator.

Members Reviews:

Decent story but irritating narration

The story was good and interesting. Rather odd but still good. The narrator, however, has the unfortunate tendancy to frequently shift to a throaty whispery voice that is sometimes impossible to hear or understand, so I often had to crank up the volume and then still didn't always catch everything, especially when she was doing male voices. Definitely going to avoid this narrator in the future.

Suspenseful

Tessa is on edge about how Xmas will be without her beloved grandfather. More happens than she bargained for. A killer on the loose is not something she bargained for. Wonderful to listen to.

Great book 2

I enjoyed this book as much as the first one. The mystery, magic, shapeshifting, ghosts and a serial killer made a powerful mix. I loved all the characters from book one and their interactions, though I was a bit confused that Tessa's romantic entanglements still continued. The plot was very good, with many twists and turns. Great narration.

Highly recommended

I received this audiobook at no-cost from the author. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Wonderful book with a great reader!

Loved this book. The reader made the characters come to life and had the perfect accent for the characters in the book. The writer wrote a wonderfully complicated Christmas/Paranormal Romance with mystery and intrigue thrown in. Thank you to the author.

enchanting

awwww I absolutely LOVED it!!!!! Very well written. It was like I was there as the story was being told!!!! Can't get enuf!!!!!

After discovering Ms. Ellicott dead in her home, Kalina and Detective Harper must race to unmask the killer before vengeance can be sated. (Goodreads)

Review:

This novella was very entertaining. It had all the elements that I look for when reading a cozy: suspense, humor, likable characters

and a small town setting.

The characters were well developed and I look forward to learning more about them. I liked the fact that Kalina and Chris have a history and that they may try to rekindle their romance. I enjoyed reading about the small town atmosphere, and having one of the murders take place at the Solstice Fair was a nice touch. I thought the mystery was carried on well throughout the novella and there were enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. I was surprised when I learned who the killer was.

I would recommend this novella to anyone who enjoys a well crafted read. I would have been happy if the story was longer and I could have spent even more time with the characters but I did enjoy the read.

The mystery is simple but nicely developed. Writing style is pleasant

The mystery is simple but nicely developed. Writing style is pleasant, maybe not perfect, but good enough to enjoy the story without being bothered by some weirdness.

I really liked Kalina.

Join Walt and his band of senior sidekicks on another emotional roller coaster ride that will have you shedding tears of laughter one minute and sorrow the next.

Members Reviews:

Awesome Story!

Wow! This story really impacted my views regarding veterans and everything they sacrificed. Also, I thought it was great how the author brought to light the medicare fraud that happens all too often. Robert Thornhill has such a wonderful writing style in bringing several issues to light and writes such wonderful characters. I love Walt, Mary, Ox, Judy, and the rest of the crew. This book is both part of a series (Lady Justice) and a standalone listen. I enjoy how George Kuch performs each of the characters and delivers the humor. The concept of a 70 year old retiree being a active police officer is so much fun. This book has humor, heartache, friendship and so many other emotions. I requested this book and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by both the author and narrator.

Another good one...

With all the books/tv shows/movies etc that going all political, this was a nice change of pace while still participating on the outskirts. Taking a look more closely to out Veterans and how they are taken care of after returning home is a very hard subject for a lot of people to understand and yet a very important aspect that should be addressed more openly. I really did like that this book brought it out in the open. Now, saying that, i did get a little bit bored between the work assignment that Walt and Ox were put on (which didn't last very long) and the rest of the story, but overall It was a great book!

Lady Justice does it again.

In this book Walt and the gang work with veterans, a subject close to my heart. A must if you have loved ones that served. I received this audio book for free at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

Cant get enough of this duo

I love Mr Thornhills style of writing and Mr Kuchs narrating style. Not sure what happened but there were times the reading sounded like an announcer but it did not take away from the story. Im not one for books about war past or present so I was skeptical about this story but they did not fail me. I connect so well with the characters in these books I almost forget they arent real people. Great job guys! I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

most touching books yet

This book is the most touching book yet. it sheds light on what our vet's go through. It made my heart hurt in places. Very good.

Publisher's Summary:

Members Reviews:

Witching the Night Away

In book three, Bailey finds out the answers to secrets that she has wondered about one of them for years. Bailey is appalled when her adoptive father is arrested for murder. She and her friends and Coven mates work to prove his innocence.

Piper, Bailey's very pregnant and nonmagical friend, is feeling left out when Avery also displays magical talent. However, Piper also has her part to play in solving the mystery.

I think that these mysteries continue to get better. I would recommend for anyone who likes paranormal cozies.

The Story Just Gets better!

If you didn't start at the beginning, I suggest you do. The story will make far more sense. This book just shows the artful writing and fantastic imagination of Ms. Barker. It's almost hard to remember at times this is fiction. Can't wait for the next book as the storyline just gets better and better.

Excellent Book

I recieved an ARC copy of this book in return for an honest review. This is book three of the series. We get to learn more about Bailey's parents and the caves. I totally loved this book. Once I started reading I couldnt put it down till I finished it. Constance Barker has written another great book. It is a must read for everyone!

Great

Good story. Enjoyed reading and liked the humor that sneaked in occasionally. Bailey faced a lot but was backed by friends and new found mother.

Witching the Night Away.....

As always this book did not disappoint me. Constance Barker is an excellent writer and I will always follow her. This book kept up with the previous books. The characters were well developed and the plot was flowing. An excellent read and hopefully there will be a next one. I read the book in a day in a half, I could have read it in a day but life got in the way.....I have received this as arc member and am reviewing it as an honest review....

When Chrys asks her brother, Spencer, for help to clean a foreclosed house for the bank, neither expects their lives to be on the line. It's supposed to be a simple Sunday: take pictures, clean out the house, collect the cash. The amateur sleuths are plunged into a mystery fight for their lives when the house reveals unspeakable horrors and an unknown serial killer hunts them and the people around them. Sometimes things in the light are even more deadly.

Members Reviews:

I bought this yesterday and read it non-stop.--Lorne Oliver has done it again.

Hang on to your sanity while you read Lorne Oliverâs latest book!

When I read the Prologue, I felt the author couldnât take his readers to a place more horrific.

When I reached Chapter One my nerves had a chance to settle down. Things seemed pretty simple. Spencer, reluctantly consents to go with his sister Chrys to help clean up a house that has been foreclosed by the bank.

When they arrive at the scene, the place is in shocking disarray. Remnants of the lives of the previous owners are found scattered throughout the house. It appears that they left in haste, and according to the bank that foreclosed and the neighbours, no one knew where theyâd disappeared too.

Spencer finds the whole thing unsettling, but Chrys is still driven by curiosityâuntil they find the Cistern. Then they know life will never be quite the same because theyâll never be able to forget what they found inside it.

This cistern holds ugly secrets, but Spencer and Chrys soon learn it isnât the only place where secrets lie. There are unexplained coincidences and ransacked rooms. Then there is a grisly incident in the kitchen of the familyâs restaurant where Spencer works as head chef and Chrys works as a waitress. It leaves them in no doubt that their personal security has been breached and their lives are in jeopardy.

Sometimes the thingsâand people who wait in the light of day are the deadliest.

This book has everything that a mystery/thriller should; heart pounding fear, mystery, danger, intrigue, deception , along with a couple of serial killers. The plot turns and twists, leading to a conclusion that makes you know there will more great things to come.

Iâll definitely be looking for the next Alcrest Mystery!

I became a die-hard fan of Lorne Oliverâs work when I discovered Red Island, the first book in his Sgt, Reid Series. I loved the ending of Red Serge which is the second Sgt. Reid book and I waiting to know what Oliverâs devious mind concocts in the next one. Iâm also âdyingâ to know what Sgt. Reidâs first name!

Grab this up - it will GRAB YOU!

Lorne Oliver had me turning pages so fast my Kindle jammed. The Cistern is definitely NOT for the faint of heart. It's a gripping, cut-from-the-headlines story that will have you reaching for a hot, spiked drink and a heavy blanket - even if you read this in the heat of summer.

The story is complex but easy to follow, with a plethora of fabulous well-drawn characters you want to keep reading about. And luckily they are scheduled to appear in another book. Let me just say, this is NOT a cliff-hanger...it's a complete book. Only the characters continue on.

For me, the most fascinating character is Chrys - foster sister to Spencer who owns the Alcrest Restaurant. Spencer is the chef with a loyal crew.

A Chick Book

My wife and her friends listened to the book and fell in love with the narrator. I am not into romances but felt that I had to rate the audio book on how it went over with the girls.

A nice cute romance novel

I loved this charming audio-book because I could listen to it with my daughter. Some romance books are almost shameful with so many sex scenes. We both adored the narrator. Joshua Bennington. He has a mesmerizing voice and we were awed at the life he gave the characters.We recommend the audio-book highly and gave it 5 stars.

Charming Romance

The audio book was entertaining and cute. I loved this narration because the narrator gave the characters a distinctive personality.

Loved the audio book and recommend it highly !!

Fantasy/Comedy Romance set in the Florida swamp

Adorable fantasy of boy meets girl. Good story and great narration. Gave it high marks.

A delightful romance

The story was a delightful clean romance good for all members of our family. Even grandma got a kick out of it. We liked the narrators' characters, they gave the story a little more life! Good audio book for a car trip because the chapters were short. I only like to stop between chapters. The family recommends Finding Miranda and gives it 5 starts. .

Small-Town Cozy with a Literary Twist

When I read the summary, I was intrigued by the idea of a bed and breakfast that catered strictly to an author clientele. And I think that idea made for a good spin on the basic small-town cozy mystery.

I'll start with the narration because that can make or break an audiobook and, for this story, it almost broke it for me. Pippa and Blake were okay, but aside from those two characters, I found the narration of this novel to be barely tolerable. Ms. Cee's choices took characters that toed the line of cookie-cutter and turned them into full-blown caricatures, particularly when it concerned the authors. But none were so bad as the murderer, who had a completely different cadence and tone than when we first met him. Once I finished the novel, I had to step back from the book for a few days so that the narration didn't color my review of the actual story, that's how bad it was.

Setting aside the narrator, the story itself was solid, though not without its flaws. It took some time to get to the meat of the story, but the mystery was interesting and the characters were quirky, which helped keep things light and humorous. And I still love the authors-only inn idea. There's so much that can be done with a rotating cast of mystery and suspense authors that I'm definitely interested in future installments.

As far as critiques go, there were times when the characters came off as a bit more naive than seemed realistic, and there were also some interesting writing choices like lots of cutesy stand-ins for potentially foul language mixed with a ton of wink-wink-nudge-nudge sexual innuendo. And it was a bit odd that two characters decided to have their first kiss almost immediately after discovering a relatively fresh crime scene. Maybe I'm the only one who found this less than romantic, but hey, that's between you and your therapist

However, my biggest critique would be that I hope that future installments rely a little less on some of the more overused tropes, like the exposition ending we received. That just took all the tension out of the moment for me.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Frankly, though, I wish I had read this novel instead of listening to it.

entertaining

that story was adorable and entertaining. Gertrude reminds me of myself. always wanting the answers, not caring how I get them and assuming that certain people will be there when I need them...which they usually are. Gertrude may be wrong about who did it but she still solved the case. I say good for you Gertrude!!!

A great story with a fiesty senior sleuth!

This is a very original and humorous audio book! The main character is a spunky elderly woman, who certainly doesn't see age as a limiting factor. She solves murders and drags her friends and acquaintances along for the ride. The story is quirky and fun. The narrator does a good job with the different characters of varying ages and backgrounds. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Possibilities

The overall story premise was interesting. One comical scene of Gertrude driving backwards brought a smile to my face but really that's all I found funny in this proclaimed comical mystery. Gertrude, the elderly sleuth, believes there is a link between poetry readers deaths even though many look like an accident. A different narrator may have brought more humor tones; there were awkward pauses in the dialogue and at the end of chapters that had me checking my phone to ensure the audible app had not closed.
