A shocking hit-and-run in front of her Village Blend coffeehouse spurs Clare Cosi into action. A divorced single mom, Clare is also a dedicated sleuth, and she's determined to track down this ruthless driver who ran down an innocent friend and customer. In the meantime, her ex-husband, Matt, the shop's globetrotting coffee buyer, sources some amazing new beans from Brazil. But he soon discovers that he's importing more than coffee, and Clare may have been the real target of that deadly driver.

Any additional comments?

Not only do I get to read a great mystery but I get to learn about coffee. I think I enjoy that part of the book more. The main character does have a very high opinion of herself, which at times drives me nuts.

An eloquent memoir of a young man's life transformed by literature. In A Jane Austen Education, Austen scholar William Deresiewicz turns to the author's novels to reveal the remarkable life lessons hidden within. With humor and candor, Deresiewicz employs his own experiences to demonstrate the enduring power of Austen's teachings. Progressing from his days as an immature student to a happily married man, Deresiewicz's A Jane Austen Education is the story of one man's discovery of the world outside himself.

Abby Cooper is a P.I., psychic intuitive. But her insight failed her when she didn't foresee the death of one of her clients - or that the lead investigator for the case is the gorgeous blind date she just met. Now, with the police suspicious of her abilities and a killer on the loose, Abby's future looks more uncertain than ever.

When Izzy Spellman, PI, is arrested for the fourth time in three months, she writes it off as a job hazard. She's been (obsessively) keeping surveillance on a suspicious next door neighbor (suspect's name: John Brown), convinced he's up to no good - even if her parents (the management at Spellman Investigations) are not.
Sherri says: "What a difference the narrator makes"

For Kate Klein, suburbia's been full of unpleasant surprises. Her once-loving husband is hardly ever home. The supermommies on the playground routinely snub her. Her days are spent carpooling, and at night, most of her orgasms are of the do-it-yourself variety. So when a fellow mother is murdered, Kate finds that the unsolved mystery is one of the most interesting things to happen in Upchurch. She launches an unofficial investigation with the help of two friends and discovers the secrets and lies behind the town's placid picket-fence facade....
Margaret says: "Terrific Book!"
"Hard to feel sorry for the main character."

Story

What disappointed you about Goodnight Nobody?

I have no interest in the main character. Am I too feel sorry for her? It was her decision to get married, have kids, etc. And she isn't a "journalist"......she put herself and her kids in danger. I did enjoy the murder mystery portion of the story. It was a surprise at who did it.

Any additional comments?

Not sure if I would read another one of her stories. The main character was a bore.

This novel by Carl Hiaasen, author of Tourist Season and Native Tongue, begins as most thrillers do, with a killing. But this is no everyday, hum-drum, garden variety killing. Our hero, Nick Stranahan, a 42-year-old private investigator who has killed five men and been married five times, skewers his attacker's aorta with the razor-sharp bill of a stuffed marlin.

Isabel Spellman may have a checkered past littered with romantic mistakes, excessive drinking, and creative vandalism - but she's good at her job as a licensed P.I. with her family's firm, Spellman Investigations. Invading people's privacy comes naturally to Izzy and all the Spellmans. If only they could leave their work at the office. Izzy walks an indistinguishable line between Spellman family member and Spellman employee. But when Izzy decides to get out of the family business in search of normalcy, she ends up taking on the most important case of her life.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I needed another series to start and am glad that I found this one.

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

It wasn't want I expected. It didn't keep me on the edge of my seat. But I liked the twist and turns of the plot.

If you're young, old, or in the middle, get ready to laugh out loud with Erma Bombeck, America's funniest lady. This outrageously witty book proves that humor is the best way to keep on keel - even with a teenager in the house. You've finally figured out what makes your child tick, when one day you wake up to discover a teenager under your roof. Suddenly life is filled with a whole new set of worries.

Where does Just Wait 'Til You Have Children of Your Own! rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I enjoyed Erma when I was in college. I wish she was still with us. I have been listening to Laura Notaro books. I enjoyed her but miss having a mother's point of view.

In The Grass Is Always Greener over the Septic Tank, Bombeck rides the train to the suburbs. In lands like the Suburbian Gems subdivision, settlers from the city brave endless cul-de-sacs and overly helpful insurance salesmen. Picture windows bring new meaning to the term "neighborly". A poorly timed trip to the restroom results in a promotion to Girl Scout Cookie Captain.

What made the experience of listening to The Grass Is Always Greener over the Septic Tank the most enjoyable?

I read this book years ago. I really enjoyed listening to it. It is funny to hear about the technology changes in our life's over the years.

Would you be willing to try another book from Erma Bombeck? Why or why not?

I already purchased all of her audiobooks.
