Different turns in the plot

Several different likely scenarios kept the reader guessing as to who the killer was. I liked the tie in from the previous story

Murder She Wrote + Golden Girls = great fun

I truly enjoyed all three books in this series and hope there are more to come. I found the performance in all three to be excellent, the stories clever, and I looked forward to getting to know Fiona, Daisy, Partial Sue, and friends.
If you are looking to smile while figuring out who dunnit and are a fan of Murder She Wrote or The Golden Girls, you’ll enjoy this series.

Heat fun’

Quality of performance and story. I can hardly wait until the next book !! These women are precious sleuths.

Wonderful Characters and Twists

You can tell Audible I "very much enjoyed this program." Excellent moving plot, performance, fun, moving emotionally. Loved it. Now... on to book 3.

This series brings me joy!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The characters are so well crafted and this third installment in the series had me absolutely captivated. Looking forward to many more in the future. Wonderfully written. I’m now yearning for a trip to the U.K. for joyful jaunts to all of the charity shops!

Top notch story telling!

This series offers delightful and realistic characters who amuse with their quirky interactions and touch the listeners/readers with their humanity. The stories are well crafted, nicely paced and intelligent. The performance fine tuned and well executed. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Warm and Witty

This is the third in a series and I suggest starting with the first. As usual the three protagonists are fun, albeit perhaps a bit predictable. The author has a way with words and some enjoyable turns of phrases. The narrator is really quite splendid, each character has a distinctive voice. The story was a bit longer than it needed to be with the sleuths pursuing one blind alley after another.

love this series!

I love the narrator and the story is such fun. can't wait for the next one!

Entertaining in the English country aidr

Loved book three and the three characters Fiona, Daisy and Partial Sue keep you intrigued even when you think the murder has been solved. Little did I know there was more to come!

I LOVE this series!!! Suberb stories AND storyteller!!!

I can't get enough of this series!! I am a thrift shop addict, as was my mom - thrift shops, yard sales, antique shops - we loved the treasure hunt.
The characters are absolutely fantastic. I love that there aren't annoying romatic entanglments that could distract from the stories - the characters can be authentic on their own - flaws and all. Partial Sue's backstory is so touching and the author describes depression in a way that I've never been able to explain of my own. Fiona's acceptance of "It" truly gives her a depth that characters in most books don't reach.
The narrator's voices, cadence, all of it, just spot on!!! She brings life to the gals; humor, sarcasm, and even the frustration i think we all have felt at times of throwing something heavy (like a shopping cart) through the property (window) of a nemesis.
Last but certainly not least, the imagery is second to none!!!!
