A Curious Woman

De: Jess Lea

Narrado por: Cat Gould

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.

Great Storytelling

Loved the story and the mystery of the murders. Sure, a little slow at the beginning but it held my attention to keep on. Love the ending.

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!

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!

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.

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.

cute but...

Cute but the ending left you wanting more. I thought the mystery part was good just a bit of spice and a lot lacking in the love part. Cat did so good Narratoring.

Over the Top .

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

Unexpectedly Pleasant

This was a delightful mystery with intercepts of romance. The twists were interesting and overall an enjoyable listen.
