Moon Signs

De: Helen Haught Fanick

Narrado por: Paula Faye Leinweber

Retirement is a time for knitting, gardening, and an occasional quiet lunch with friends, according to Kathleen Williamson. Her sister Andrea has an altogether different point of view. When the sisters go to the Canaan Valley to search for paintings mentioned in a document found in an old hotel once owned by their grandparents - paintings that might be Monets - Andrea immediately becomes involved in tracking down a murderer. Kathleen would much rather be looking for the paintings, but she goes along with Andrea, since the victim was their hotel-keeper, murdered just down the hall from their room. The question is: Does the murder have something to do with the elusive paintings?

There are many clues and many suspects, including hotel staff, valley residents, and the mysterious foreigners who come from the Eastern Seaboard for skiing. There are also many types of danger-icy roads, sub-zero temperatures, and a killer who doesn't care how many people die in the attempt to make sure the right ones do.

Nice cozy mystery

i enjiyed the stoey but the audio was frustrating. It sounds like the narrator keeps leaning away from the microphone. The sentences srart out strong but get very faint by the end and are hard to hear.

Moon Signs

I really liked the story. What made it good was the way Paula read it. She put so much emotion and emphasis on the way it was written, it was easy to get into the story!

Really enjoyed

I really enjoyed listening to this mystery. I really enjoyed the sisters and the other characters throughout. The narrator did a great job on the voices and story. The story is well written and engaging and keep you pulled in. I would recommend if you love a good mystery.

Senior Sisters Solve Sinister Slayings

If the older sister's voice hadn't been so wobbly (trying to portray her elderly status?), the performance would've been better . . . but that said, this was a good listen . . . I'm not so much into the signs of the moon, although farmers have sworn by it for centuries . . . what made this one a worthy listen for me was the historical aspects, the two sisters searching for the lost Monets . . . the setting in the mountains of West Virginia . . . and the cozy mystery . . . well done . . .

Room for improvement....

As in previous reviews, yes, there were inconsistencies and yes, the story was a little choppy and slow. But having said that, it was a nice, cozy mystery with two little old ladies trying to solve a mystery but were in over their heads. Room for improvement ,for sure.

Narrator in this book had some trouble with projection so it sounded like she was fading in and out, but in her own voice, when she wasn't trying to portray an old lady, she was pretty good. Those aren't West Virginia accents, though. Also, it's pronounced "Appa LATCH ia" . Just sayin',
