Resumen del Editor

A funny, fabulous, cozy mystery filled with quirkiness and a sweet serve of lesbian romance.

Bess Campbell has escaped to the windswept Australian coastal town of Port Bannir, determined to begin her life again. She is loving her fresh start, thanks to her fun job running a hip gallery, her territorial chickens, and a lot of self-help books to find her new, better self.

Port Bannir local Margaret Gale runs an austere maritime museum, and rules her staff with an iron fist. She has no time for that crazy modern gallery or upbeat, earnest Bess sweeping around town on her hipster bicycle.

After a heated dispute over an antique collectible dildo, there's little hope Margaret and Bess will ever see eye to eye. But when Port Bannir is rocked by a senseless murder, both women find themselves implicated. Can they work together to expose the truth - or will the truth prove far too dangerous?

Contains mature themes.

Fantastic mystery with romance

This is a fantastic murder mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing until the end. The romance is a slow burn and the MC’s development parallels the story arc perfectly. Cat Gould delivers the narration with her delicious, resonant, sultry tones.

Couldn’t finish

I am almost OCD about finishing audiobooks since I won’t return them if I don’t like them. I just couldn’t get through this one.

Hilarious murder mystery caper!

I will absolutely listen to anything Cat Gould narrates! The story was amazing, and I can't wait to read the next one! The witches and Chuks were a wonderful addition to the story. Brava!

Well, it was Ok

I had some credits so at least it didn’t cost me money... the story was OK and narration didn’t help it much, I loved the accent but it seemed as Cat Gould was bored reading this book and so was I.

Highly recommended

All my favorite genres in one book. A mystery, a thriller, an ice queen, an age gap, and a gentle love story…with fantastic narration. This book kept me up at night and it was well worth it.

Great story!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The deadpan humor was awesome! I loved Bess and Margaret's interactions. It was cool to "see" them grow and develop into the strong women they are. The supporting characters gave the story more depth and were also easy to like (especially the HAGs :-) ). I was also impressed with the narration. The characters, narration and the mystery made this a must listen!

Over the Top .

Sorry not to pass asparagus, but what the heck is a vegetarian sushi plate? really.

favorite read/listen

I read a lot of lesbian books and novel and this novel is a relief from the stupid formula of breaking up for some stupid reason and getting back together! I loved going to Australia with the author and narrator.

4.5 stars

I didn't read the excerpt too closely and was pleasantly surprised that this was a mystery/suspense novel. The ending was unexpected but made total sense. The writing was outstanding, but I didn't expect any less after reading Looking For Trouble. The romance is not integral to the story, which I personally loved.
Overall, great book, interesting listen, highly recommend to mystery and suspense readers.

Two Wounded Souls

Bess Campbell moves to a remote Australian coastal town to restore her soul and find her better self. Margaret Gale runs the local Maritime Museum. Bess runs the crazy Cabinet of Curiosities. When murder rocks the small town they are drawn together to find the killer. Will their lives give them a second chance at healing and romance. Great performance and story. Recommend.
