Publisher's summary

Amanda Graham inherited a rundown bed and breakfast, a starving cat, and some dead guy who's buried in her garden!

What should've been a simple remodeling project and a new business in a small Oregon beach town winds up with her uncle named as the number-one murder suspect, a slew of odd neighbors and problematic townspeople, and Amanda wanting to just sit down and eat her weight in chocolate pie.

Sure, she could pack her bags and travel back to LA...or should she dig in, heal from her failed romance, and find a whole new set of friends and adventures in Ravenwood Cove?

And how could a quiet little coastal village have so many secrets?

Cute First Mystery But Reader Was Poor

If you could sum up Bed, Breakfast, and Bones in three words, what would they be?

A cute first mystery with lots of potential for the series

How could the performance have been better?

The performance was horrible. It took all I had to hang in with this book. I'm usually not that choosy but this was not at all professional. It was like having a friend read out loud from a book. Please check the sample BEFORE buying. I had bought the book first and just added the audible portion without checking first. If this is the reader for the series, I won't be continuing.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If it wasn't for the reader, I could have easily listened all in one sitting.

Made myself finish this

The story wasn't great but the narrator was awful. Her fake laughter in her voice whenever anything remotely2amusing was read was so annoying. Would not recommend.

Good book; Need a professional reader/narrator.

Loved the characters and story.
PLEASE get another reader without the harsh, flat accent and voice. It's not a professional voice for narration.

Narrator no

I have bought the second story in ebook instead of audio to see due to my annoyance with the narrator.

Narrator ruined an already “just ok” cozy mystery.

Felt like narrator was speaking to preschoolers. Cozy mysteries are already a soft mystery add a narrator who enunciates like she’s talking to preschool children and it’s unbearable.

Loved the story. The Reader was okay.

I enjoyed the story and I'm looking forward to the next book. Just the reader could have been a little better but not the worst I've heard.

First in series

local-gossip, local-law-enforcement, local-politics, audiobook, romantic, cold-case, small-town, small-business, investigations, contentious, hospitality-industry, renovation, lies, secrets, first-in-series*****

Interesting start to a new cozy mystery series. Amanda has left California to find a more rewarding life in a coastal town where she has inherited a long disused family inn. There she meets a lot of the locals, including the rather nasty confrontational mayor, some friendly neighbors and shopkeepers, and the local detective (courtesy of the skeleton in the garden!). Fun sleuthing and a good escape.
I got the audio on sale and the narrator did an OK job, but the prolonged silences between chapters made me nutz.
