Perfect mindlessness

Great narration! A new favorite series. I wish though they’d get their own musical prelude and not the same as Cherringham’s. Obviously not a big deal 😊

The reality of the main character. Very likeable.

The chapter synopsis are spoiler alerts. It would be better to let the story unfold without the warnings.

What fun!

This is a series of interesting little stories with surprising endings. Some of this was predictable but not bothersome. The narrator switched dialects clearly and acted out the characters fully. Cute.

Good, cozy mystery but not a perfect narrator

These stories are easy to listen to while managing errands or things around the house. I enjoy the improbability of the ladies’ detective prowess and their character development is fun. Unfortunately, the narrator’s breathy voice and sing-song cadence do not lend themselves to the story.

Refreshing!!

Everything fell right into place, excellent, A great series, can’t wait to follow series, the ladies are great detectives while running the Black feather without missing a beat
