Horrible accent

The badly faked New Orleans/Southern accents were atrocious, but an easy listen regardless. Fairly predictable plot but an easy commute read.

Fun first cozy mystery!

The Key to Murder: A French Quarter Mystery is an enjoyable cozy. Who is the murderer? Kept me guessing until the reveal. Of course, I'm not giving that away. All the suspects are pretty likeable, no obvious villains. Setting is New Orleans and the author, Jen Pitts, does an excellent job of capturing the essence of the city. Looking forward to her next book.
Note: I was provided with a complimentary copy of the audiobook and asked to provide my unbiased review.

A scavenger hunt that revealed her past.

This was an intriguing tale, about an area a lot of people would like to visit, for historical and cultural reasons.
Then to add the mystery of the key and book, then some. Well, it adds to a nail bitting drama in the end.

Fun listen, Interesting story

This is a fun, interesting story. I love the scavenger hunt that takes you through New Orleans with some tidbits of history. The characters are engaging made me smile. The narration was wonderful and easy to listen to. I really enjoyed the book.

Great cozy mystery

I have listened to The Key To Murder Book 1 two times now. It is a fun and interesting cozy mystery. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. Sammy finds a diary that leads her on a scavenger hunt through New Orleans. The narrator was a good fit for Sammy and did well with the other characters as well. Definitely recommend for fun easy listening.
