Love this Series!

I'm so excited that Audible is going to put the first books in this series online. They are a fun light listen and I really like the characters. The narrator is great as well. They aren't deep and engrossing like some books but it's great to listen to something that can make you laugh and just enjoy the act of listening!

Nice start to a series

Story was a bit far fetched, too many people being blackmailed, and too easy for our heroine to figure out. However, it was good clean fun. Nice little cozy.

Small towns

If you could sum up Murder of a Small-Town Honey in three words, what would they be?

Small-Town no Secrets!

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character was Sky, she was the main character but she just had that drive and never gave up and I liked that.

What about Christine Leto’s performance did you like?

I liked the way she changed her voice and the way she added the emotion to each character, you could feel how they were feeling.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Mike came after Sky, I was shocked I didn't see that one coming.

Any additional comments?

None

Glad to get the beginning of the story.

I had listened to several of the later books in the Scumble River series on audible and was very pleased to see the earlier ones start appearing. This series provides a lighter mystery that I enjoy.

narration lets this book down

The story is ok but the narrator is way too nasal.
I'm partway through the first book and I think I'll have to get the book to finish it.
