Bright Seas Mysteries, Book 1

De: Annie Acorn

Narrado por: Lisa Leslie

Annie Acorn Audio is pleased to present Bright Treasures, written by Annie Acorn and narrated by Lisa Leslie.

Angelique MacDuff paused as the knot in her stomach tightened. Across the pavement of Bright Seas’ Main Street, the shop waited, but whether it beckoned or warned her to turn and run, she couldn’t have said.

Sixteen months ago, her husband left the tarmac’s safety in their newly purchased delivery van and drove off a precipice northeast of town. There had been no screech of brakes before their van had headed straight for the cliff’s edge, where it had left the Earth and, for a moment, hung suspended in the air before plunging into Bright Seas Bay.

Death had been attributed to a fractured skull. At first, she hadn’t cared about the cause. As time passed, though, she had taken comfort from the fact that her husband hadn’t drowned. Then, she had begun to question.

So opens the newest, full-length cozy mystery from internationally beloved, From Women’s Pens author Annie Acorn. Once again, Ms. Acorn weaves together an interesting cast of characters, as a tangled web tightens around them. Filled with an abundance of clues, we bet you still won’t solve this unique puzzle before the end.

You won’t want to miss this one!

Slow Paced

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and all opinions expressed herein are my own.

I am a fan of cozy mysteries. However, I found this one to be very slow paced, most of the characters were a bit daft, and the paranormal element a bit odd [I am not against paranormal elements but it did not seem to completely fit]. It also jumped from the past to the present to the paranormal without any real set up - so at times, I got confused as to what was occurring. Finally, the mystery of the murder doesn't happen until very late in the book - at which point, unfortunately, I didn't much care.

The narrator, Lisa Leslie, did a nice job. She used different voices for the various characters, which helped to differentiate them.

Extremely good

I found this audiobook to be extremely enjoyable. It has a great combination of mystery, suspense and drama. The narrator has done a wonderful job of bringing each character to life.

Great listening entertainment

Great story with a lot of interesting characters and a mystery right up until the end.

If You Say So

Bright Treasures Bright Seas Mysteries, Book 1
Author: Lisa Leslie

A tale of mystery, with touches of romance and paranormal thrown in for good measure. I found it interesting but not as attention holding as I look for in a good listen.



The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Lisa Leslie.

Mystery

I love mysteries and this does have potential but I just found it slow going. I actually put it down and went back to it a few times.
I would still recommend it if you don't mind the slow pace.
clean read.
