Publisher's summary

A vicar with a taste for sweets. A nun with a knack for trouble. A deliciously diabolical crime....

When Annabelle meets her friend Mary, she expects tea and cake. What she gets is a double helping of murder.

Armed only with a note, a disappearing dart, whispered rumors, and a love of sweets, this quick-thinking, quick-footed holy woman must piece together the clues, pacify a dogged detective, and find a killer...before she and her friend both wind up in jail.

Part Sherlock Holmes, part Miss Marple, Annabelle is a new kind of sleuth, with an appetite for cakes and crime. If you love solving puzzles, then this suspense-filled yet endearing cozy mystery is just for you. Annabelle's jaunt around London will keep you guessing until the very end!

Death at the Cafe is the first in a furiously fast-paced, funny new series featuring a young female vicar whose passion and dedication to her parish are matched only by her weakness for cake.

Not worth the time

The narration makes this almost impossible to get through. The voice grating, cutesy. A struggle to get through, which I only did because I paid for it. Torture. Story thin, no real character development.

Clean without being preachy

Generally I don't do the Christian genre type of books, but I was looking for something new. Not saying I'm not of the faith, but most of those books are written from an "I'm better than you are" standpoint. I didn't see that with this book. Yes, it's not just one, but two women of faith we're hearing about, women who live their faith rather than tell others how they're not living correctly. The fact that the author actually makes reference to them being - not from two different churches, but rather two separate branches of the same church, makes me hope that others too will realize that we're all under one umbrella, as it were.

The narration was pretty good for what it was. Sister Mary came out as a bit ditzy, but perhaps that's how she was supposed to be. There was enough changes between character voices that you could definitely tell them apart, and that's the main thing I look for in narration - that and an easy to listen to non-monotone voice.

I was given a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review. I plan to get the entire series.
