Entertaining cozy mystery with a touch of romance

One O'Clock Hustle: A Rebecca Mayfield Mystery, Book 1 depicting the lower body of a female police officer, dressed in shorts, plus a wall old style clock
One O’Clock Hustle is the first book in the Rebecca Mayfield series of mysteries written by USA Today bestselling and award-winning author Joanne Pence. After enjoying for a few years now the Ancient Secrets series from the same talented writer, I thought to disconnect from a mad world and wind down with a cozy romantic mystery.

Rebecca Mayfield is a by-the-book cop, doing her work, putting in the extra time, but what starts as a regular call to investigate a homicide crime scene quickly becomes personal. Richie Amalfi is more than an acquaintance for our Rebecca and when he is accused of murder, she must decide if he is guilty or not.

What follows is a six hours long adventure filled with secrets, mysteries, and a little romance.

Joanne Pence has written another compelling novel. One O’Clock Hustle is fast-paced, easy to follow, not too bloody, and funny, sprinkled with pop fiction trivia and beautiful descriptions that make the characters and the city of San Francisco spring to life in vivid relief in the listener’s mind.

Respected and talented voiceover artist Kristi Burns delivers an excellent narration for One O’Clock Hustle. She reads with professionalism and enthusiasm, manages to make each character feel different, and infuses the story with emotion and urgency right at the opportune moment. Her voice is pleasant, her narration is clear and balanced, so everything is just as it should be for this to be a successful and entertaining audio production.

When I picked up One O’Clock Hustle I wanted a short and sweet novel that could help me relax and that’s exactly what I got. I highly recommend this first book and I’ll be sure to continue with the series as soon as possible.

I can count at any time on Joanne Pence to delight and entertain with a captivating story!
