Publisher's summary

When a brooch is broken, some of its magic is lost. When NYPD detective JL O'Grady is invited to be her brother's plus-one at Montgomery Winery's end-of-harvest gala, she plans to enjoy a fabulous weekend in Napa drinking wine, enjoying sunset dinners on the veranda, and watching her brother's high school basketball tournament. Instead, she's pulled into a murder investigation hauntingly similar to a New York City racketeering and drug case that nearly ended her career. The local cops insist she steer clear of their investigation, but JL's gut instincts - and fears for her brother's safety - drive her deeper into the case. With help from MacKlenna Corporation's irresistibly handsome and charming CFO, Kevin Allen, she searches for a connection between the two cases, while at the same time her connection with Kevin rockets from mild to scorching in a New York minute. When another crime hits too close to her heart, the stakes escalate and endanger not only JL, but the entire MacKlenna Clan as well. Now it's up to JL and Kevin - with a little help from David McBain - to solve the case. With time running out and danger closing in, JL and Kevin rush to discover the killer's identity before someone else is murdered, and while they're at it, they might just find what's been missing from both their lives for far too long.

WHAT AN INTRIGUING SERIES!!!

I can't begin to tell you what an exceptional series this is. Although I'm a Mystery/Thriller fan, I have enjoyed every moment of this series. Teri Schnaubelt is the absolute PERFECT narrator and I'm so glad that she has been selected consistently from book to book to be the voices of these wonderful characters. I highly recommend this series regardless of your genre! Start with Book 1 and you won't be sorry!!!

Another wonder!

The author gives us more again! Her endurance to build the families relationships grows with each book!

LOVED IT!

Great addition to the series while offering the opportunity to reconnect with old favorite characters!

Love story

Narrator was awesome, a lot of suspense and drama. I'm hoping for a continued story.

Love this series!

This series is one of my favorite all-time series. Each book has its own story, but Katherine Lowry Logan keeps the other characters from each book. It feels like we know each of them and their connection to the family. This family is a close knit one, which is something else that I love about the books. The story of The Broken Brooch is beautifully written and very descriptive, making me visualize it in my head. Teri Schnaubelt's narration only adds to the story. Her voice is perfect for these characters - male and female alike. The audio book would not be the same without her.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure and romance.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

HOOKED ON SERIES. Keeps getting Better

By: Katherine Lowry Logan
Narrated by: Teri Schnaubelt
Series: The Celtic Brooch, Book 5 of 10

I listened to this book at 1.40 X

This one didn't really have time traveling but it all ties in to the other first 4 books.

I love how the whole series is just a little bit of a whole picture.

HOOKED ON SERIES...Keeps getting better..

I would really recommend this series for anyone that enjoys time traveling, romance, action, etc.

Vocal artist Teri Schnaubelt did another great job. So may characters and accents. 10 Stars out of 5.

Took my husband by Suprise!!

Would you listen to The Broken Brooch again? Why?

Yes, very enjoyable, twists and turns! I will probably catch more the second time around.

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

I was listening to the Broken Brooch aloud in bed. I thought my husband was asleep next to me. It was on the part ***SPOILER*** where JL was in the cave with Kevin trying to rescue Austin. I decide to shut off the audio and go to sleep, and my Husband says "NO! Put it back on..." He has now begun the Book series from book 1 himself and is already in book 3 (He drives 1 hour to work, plenty of time to listen, and he's in Law Enforcement so the books keep him interested)

What does Teri Schnaubelt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She does a beautiful job portraying the various characters! Hard to believe those men are being voiced by a woman! What a sexy Scottish accent!

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

I loved the cave

Still good but weaker

The third in the series was good but a felt the plat and introduction of some of the character a bit week in this one. The introduction of the son’s father was a bit underwhelm and far fetched.

I love this series!!

Another wonderful well thought out story!! Can't wait for the next book in this series!!

Great series

I have read the first 3 books of the series and now book 5 in audible. Enjoyed them all. Have just ordered audible book 6. Can't wait to start it.
