Fun Reunion! Meet, Greet, Murder

A Milo Rathkey Mystery

De: D.B. Elrogg

Narrado por: Tom Lennon

The women of Thrana Hall are holding an all-school reunion. Classmate Jessica Vogel is hated by most of the attendees, but when she's pushed down the steps of an old spooky tower, Private Detective Milo Rathkey is pulled into the investigation.

Is the murder tied to a fatal accident 12 years earlier, an old school grudge, or did the victim's penchant for blackmail get her killed?

Milo's brain keeps telling him something is not right, but he has to wait until the back of his brain talks to the front of his brain.

Fun Mystery!

Fun Reunion! Meet, Greet, Murder by D.B. Elrogg is full of great imagery and the unexpected. I love the quirky character of Milo Rathkey and the setting in Duluth, Minnesota. There is fun banter and great humor. The characters are well developed, the killer is not obvious. Tom Lennon is perfect in his narration. He brings the characters to life with his voice. This book is a standalone listen. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will most definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Fun Mystery!

In Fun Reunion! Meet, Greet, Murder by D.B. Elrogg, private investigator Milo Rathkey has had six months to settle into his new inheritance of $15 million from his mother’s former employer. He shares the inheritance with Sutherland McKnight, the son of the man who bequeathed the inheritance to Milo. Now the ladies who attended high school at Thrana Hall in Duluth, Minnesota, including Sutherland’s assistant Agnes Larsen, are having their class reunion. However, the reunion is darkened by the possible murder of Mollie during their sophomore year in what seems to have been a hazing incident when Mollie fell off the old creepy tower. However, everyone has suspected Jessica Vogel, a fellow classmate, of pushing Mollie to her death. When Jessica takes a dive from the same tower as Mollie did years later, this becomes a clear case of murder, but there are too many motives for killing Jessica to make the case simple for Milo and his police detective friend, Graham.

In the meantime, Sunderland gets suspicious that someone killed and hid the bodies of several employees of Lakesong, their estate, in the 1950s, enlisting Milo to help him research the cold case, providing an extra detection plot to the book.

I had a fun time listening to Fun Reunion! Meet, Greet, Murder, which is a creative book with interesting plot lines and well- drawn characters. I especially appreciated the interaction between Milo and Sutherland, who balance each other’s quirks and strengths. I particularly enjoyed the scene when Milo and Mary Alice Bonner challenge Sutherland and Agnes to a tennis match, and Milo beats the over- arrogant Sutherland after the latter spends his time disparaging the tennis skills of his roommate.

Tom Lennon performs the audio edition of this book, bringing it to life in a vivid and clear manner. His voice seems especially suited for this book, giving just a hint of grit to the sound of the mystery. Using expression without excess emoting, Lennon makes the plot all the more exciting, convincing me that this book should certainly be listened to instead of read visually.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to listen to Fun Reunion! Meet, Greet, Murder. I loved the creativity in the plot and characters, as well as extra storylines that add to the interest of the book. I highly recommend this audiobook and give it five stars.

Great Cozy Mystery!

Fun Reunion! Meet, Greet, Murder is the 2nd book in the Milo Rathkey Mystery series, its stands alone but I think reading the first book will increase enjoyment of the story There is a reunion at which a suspected murder meets with a suspicious death.
Everyone has a motive! This story was a lot of fun. I look forward to the next book in the series. I was gifted a copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Excellent

Mayhem and murder at a reunion, old grudges or what was behind pushing someone to their death. Good mystery and Tom was great giving us the different characters, well done, and enjoyable. Given audio for my voluntary review
