Resumen del Editor

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.

Fun Cozy Mystery with a Paranormal Twist

I love cozy mysteries and romances so this one I was pretty drawn to. Without giving the story away I will say that I did find it very enjoyable and the narration was very well done and I give it 4 stars. The reason I gave it 3 stars overall was mainly due to the fact that although the pace of the book truly fits the story I tend to like a slightly faster paced book. I also thought the story was a bit confusing in the way it jumps around from current to memories and then throws in a paranormal aspect to it, which is fun but you definitely have to pay closer attention to this book. If you like a story with a journey that is a little slower to unfold then I would highly recommend this book, but if you are drawn to a more intense mystery/thriller then I think you will find this one too slow.

Bright Treasures

This was a good book.I found it confusing.I had to start over three times.I didn't know dead people were talking for awhile.The overall story was good,but overly long. Lisa Leslie was a fine narrator. I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

it took me three times

I will explain I gave this book five stars because the book was good it was with a lot of details a lot of characters it was confusing and I stopped the book free times I wasn't concentrated enough I listen to all your books and I couldn't got her myself to listen to this book about when I was at home alone very calm I could listen to the story and understand each and every character for what it was and then I did enjoy the story it will might take you some time to understand because the story isn't complicated but you have a lot of characters and you need to listen to all of them to understand what the story is about but I liked it overall I liked it a lot

A thoughtfully woven story

This is a thoughtfully woven story that jumps from character to character, so you need to pay attention to keep up. With each character you are given another piece of the whole puzzle. While Angelique is the main character everything centers around there are many others in this story who complete the mystery. There is some paranormal aspects, but nothing too heavy or off putting. The narration is well done and adds to the depth and charm. Again, this is a more in depth cozy, and one you really need to focus on, as there are so many details and moving plot lines. But don’t let that deter you, it’s really worth it when it all comes together!

this was an ok book

This book as just okay it was sort of difficult to follow. I had no idea that some of the characters were talking from the grave when it first began. The story has the potential to be really enthralling but it lacks in the details. The characters were likeable enough but it seems like the author glanced over a lot of the back story. I felt like this should have been book two not book one in the series. Overall not a bad read. the narrator did a pretty good job with the material available. I received this book for free for an honest review.
