Murder Between the Lines

Rooftop Garden Cozy Mysteries, Book 1

De: Thea Cambert

Narrado por: Amanda Ronconi

Fall is the most beautiful time of the year . . .

Until it turns deadly.

Blue Valley, Tennessee, buzzes with excitement every October with the return of colorful autumn leaves, chilly air, and the wave of tourists who arrive for the annual Fall Festival.

This year, Alice Maguire, owner of The Paper Owl bookshop on Main Street, is planning the festival with a little help from her best friends, Franny and Owen. All three live in tiny apartments above their shops.

The trio of friends share a charming rooftop garden, where they meet in the mornings for coffee from Franny's coffee shop, and sweets from Owen's bakery. When a new yoga studio, Bliss, opens up across the street, Alice reluctantly agrees to take a class to promote relaxation in her life, and it actually works, much to her relief.

A fire breaks out in town, resulting in a tragic death, and Alice's brother, Blue Valley PD Officer Ben Maguire, and newcomer, Detective Luke Evans—who has an irritating way of making Alice blush—lead the investigation. When it is determined that the death was no accident, Alice, Franny, and Owen get pulled smack dab into investigating the case.

Will they solve it before you do?

Charming little story

I thought this was a charming book. Loved the performance as always by Amanda Ronconi, she is one of my favorite narrators but the book was super cute and fun to read. I loved how there is no foul language and the town sounds adorable. Makes me want to live there minus not being murdered but I will listen to all the books in the series. I think the writer is really good at making the town come to life. I think it’s worth a read.

A fun mystery

This was fun and I love the characters. Excellent narration which is why I chose to listen I will look forrward to more in the series
