Love The Dogs

I enjoyed listening to all four stories about Lia Anderson's adventures in the Dog Park getting in the middle of a lot of murders and suspense. I love dogs and this is one of the reasons why I selected this audiobooks box set.

Love it

I received a free copy of this in exchange for an unbiased review. If you like dogs and love mystery, strap in. This is a four book collection, and while I didn't love every second of it, I was pulled into the universe.

Get this book bundle!

I definitely recommend getting this 4 book series if you are interested in the books because it’s a great deal AND once you read book 1 you’ll be hooked! I really enjoyed how thoughtful the mysteries and stories were. This isn’t a fluff cozy mystery type of book, it’s well constructed and has lots of depth, red herrings & a well done narration. If you like mysteries that are pretty straight forward (no cutesy fluff) then this is perfect! It’s not in the gritty crime genre, it fits right in with a cozy, but it’s a bit more serious. I really enjoyed all 4 books!
I received this book in exchange for my honest review - im an avid mystery reader and reviewer!

Love the Dog Park Mysteries!

Very entertaining and I really enjoyed the audible version. Besides the characters, the dogs, the romance and the mysteries, there is always some interesting information that is passed along in the course of the stories.

Perfect narration makes a great series even better

Lia Anderson Dog Park Murders is a four book set featuring a struggling but talent artist, Lia Anderson, and her adventures with her two dogs and her friends at the local dog walking park. A fantastic bargain at one credit for 34 hours of listening, I would be willing to pay all four credits for this great series. Book one introduces Lia and her eclectic group of friends, all of whom chat daily while allowing their dogs to roam the local dog park. These friends are not only an integral part of Lia's life, they are also the driving force behind all the murders that must be solved in this series. The police detective investigating the first murder not only adopts the victim's dog and becomes a part of the dog park group, Lia and he begin a romantic relationship. All four books contain the perfect mix of police procedural, action, and drama among the characters. Not only were the mysteries challenging, the romantic push and pull between Lia and Peter kept me glued to my iPod. Lia is such a strong woman, always fighting to stay independent and self-sufficient while opening herself up to the possibility of love and commitment. Watching Peter, who only wanted to be Lia's everything, try to maneuver through the mine-field that was Lia held my attention every bit as much as the intriguing mystery in each book. Overall, this is a fantastic series, and I hope to continue with the next books in the series soon.

Jane Boyer's narration is superb. She has a smooth, even delivery, her performance is flawless, and she differentiates well between male and female characters. Her light southern drawl for Peter and her slightly heavier southern twang for Peter's detective partner are delightful. Boyer's narration makes this wonderful series even better as an audiobook production.

Fun mysteries

I have read a few of these books but wanted to listen to them too. I have to say I enjoyed the books more by reading them. I was not impressed with the narration. Jane Boyer just didn't do it for me. Maybe if I had not already read book 1 and 2 I would have not already have a voice in my head.
Okay that said the writing of C.A. Newsome is amazing. I love the stories. Mystery, dogs and fun who would not like this.

Leah Anderson dog park mystery box it

These books were really good. The mysteries were mentally stimulating. The characters were unique and funny. Although I did notice inconsistencies in the story such as the age of Bailey Leah‘s friend and one book I think it said she’s 42 and then another book at 7:55. I don’t really like that I feel like authors should keep track of what they written and be consistent. Other than that these books were great.

Great Listen and Great Value

First off, you get four great mysteries for the price of one! It is a steal!

The mysteries themselves were a nice and hardy. Great substance to them. I was not sure whether these would be more cozy because of the dogs or more involved. I would say they were a nice balance. Perfect, actually. You had a more intricate plot with the comfort that dogs bring to our lives. Leah and Peter are very endearing characters. I can also relate to Jose in the fact that someone nicknamed by brother Jose, and it has stuck with him ever since. We are not hispanic and again not knowing there this came from is just an odd coincidence.

I have already recommend this to several of my friends and family.

The narration was great as well. Very clear voices.

It is interesting to listen to the Author's notes as well.

I received this audiobook at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

A little disappointed.

I received this audio book in exchange for an honest review. I love cozy mysteries and I love dogs. This series was a little lackluster for me though. Part of it was that I didn't love the narration but for mysteries that are headlined as dog park mysteries, I expected a little bit more dog storyline. The characters had dogs but other than that, they didn't play much of a role. Also, well into book 3, I really wasn't that in love with the characters either - good or bad. I wasn't really routing for anyone. Like a good Netflix marathon, I want a series that when it ends, I miss it, and for me this series didn't cut it.

Dog Park Mysteries

I loved reading these 4 books! I can't wait to read more from this author. If you are crazy about dogs like I am, you will not be disappointed!
