Resumen del Editor

Tourist season is in full swing in the small seaside town of Wildwood Cove, and Marley McKinney couldn't be happier. Since taking over the Flip Side restaurant, she's made a few close friends, adopted a cat named Flapjack, and started dating her childhood crush. The only cloud on the horizon is local nuisance Ida Winkler, who blames Marley for landing her nephew in prison. Trying to get a rise out of Marley, Ida's been making crank calls and even vandalizing the pancake house.

The police can't do much about the pranks, so Marley sets out to bury the hatchet once and for all. But someone's beat her to it - in the most shocking way possible. After stumbling across Ida's dead body, Marley's suddenly the number one suspect in her murder. Clearing her good name is going to be a tall order, but Marley's not about to let Ida keep ruining her life - especially from beyond the grave.

Easy Listen, Book 2, Pancake House Mystery

A crotchety old neighbor, that no one likes is found murdered, and Marley, the new owner of the Pancake House is a person of interest in the murder. It seems that Ida Winkler had been blackmailing most of the town, and there's no shortage of suspects for the crime. But Marley, fearful of losing customers at the Pancake House, makes it her business to search out who might have killed the mean old woman. The writing is clean, the atmosphere in Washington State peaceful and descriptive, and the narration good. A great listen for a little "escape" from heavier books and subjects. I will definitely be listening to more in the series.

Not as good as the first one

Just OK…long & involved & goes no where. Very disappointing and just goes no where. A waste of time.

Another good installment

I really enjoyed For Whom the Bread Rolls, the characters were well developed and the story had all the ingredients to make an enjoyable cozy mystery.

Slow down!

Narrator is really hard to enjoy, she reads way, way too fast. So-so characters and mystery.

Good cozying mystery

I’d say the plot in this is a step above other cozy mysteries in terms of intensity. The narrator does a great job. I’ll listen to the series.

A wonderful mix of humor and mystery

The author knows how to keep your interest through the whole book. Love this whole series so far.

It's ok

This is a typical cozy mystery. There engaging characters, a pleasant and seemingly perfect town and a murder victim. The story is just okay. I didn't rush through the pages and I didn't grt annoyed when my life interfered with my reading time. I think the story would have been better if the author hadn't created unnecessary drama between Marley and Brett and didn't offer so many descriptions of the town and it's people. I'm not sure I will get the next.

This went downhill quickly

I bought the first book as a recommended title. The new series started out well and I found I liked the heroine.A decent person overall. But in this book the characters seem immature. The one friend can be blackmailed about kissing an engaged man to the point she would pay money to keep it quiet? Really! And now our heroine is a busybody who sticks her nose on people's business and lives with no regard for their time or feelings. And if I was the police chief I would regret giving her my telephone number with the amount of times she calls him. The reader performed well. I just wish the main characters were more realistic.

Good storyline.

The story keeps you immersed in the characters and the events.. The reader is excellent bringing the characters to life.

almost quit listening narrator terrible

narrator did not fit character, throaty whisper that was distracting. Story OK. wouldn't want to live in that small town
