Murder in the Storybook Cottage

Book Retreat Mystery Series, Book 6

De: Ellery Adams

Narrado por: Johanna Parker

Storyton Hall, Virginia, is a top travel destination for book lovers and the perfect spot for literary events. But as a children's book publisher hosts a gathering there, some folks aren't going to live - happier ever after or otherwise....

Jane Steward's resort is hopping - not only is Peppermint Press' conference in full swing, there are also lots of families staying on the premises, bringing their kids to events like a scavenger hunt through the Fairy Tale Forest.

Then a woman dressed like Little Red Riding Hood is found dead from a plot device straight out of a fairy tale-with a rare and valuable copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales in her basket. Not long after, a second victim is killed, with yet another treasure - a volume by Hans Christian Andersen worth thousands of dollars - nearby. It looks like a big bad wolf may be lurking among the guests, and Jane can't just wait for a handsome prince to come to the rescue....

I enjoyed listening about the fun place for kids and great stories that they read and the fun that they had.

I'd like the whole book it kept me interested because I never knew what was going to happen next or to who or to where it was going to happen.

Loving the series

I was disappointed by the mild swearing. Hope we can do without as we move forward. I enjoy the books and narration.

When you get into trouble call on your friends

I love the focus on family for holiday celebrations however there is murder and mayhem behind the scenes and plenty of surprises Great listen!!!

The story of Storyton Hall
The story of Storyton Hall is a fantasy! From the first one to this one I am immediately engaged in what is going on. I love all of the literary quotes as they pertain to the story. Jane has really brought about wonderful changes to Storyton Hall. The mystery is nicely woven into the story and activities at the Hall. Read this book and the others in the series they are so engaging!

a lovely addition

this series is a wonderful escape, and makes a person wish they live in the village.

Families are complicated, and chosen

Love how the characters are well developed and enjoy learning new things about the regulars, and digging into the new.

I hope it continues!

This is my favorite of all of Ellery Adams’ series. Storyton Hall is a place I’d love to escape to (minus the murder part!). Rooms with themed libraries where once can nestle with a good book and a soothing cup of whiskey laced coffee or hot cocoa, a place free of the distraction of electronics, delectable teas served daily, friends and family that actually show up consistently... I find it cleverly written. I was so excited to learn that she had come out with another book, and it did not disappoint. I will refrain from spoiling the ending other than to say I hope that what was hinted to at the end comes in Ms. Adams’ next book!

Oh My Heart!

I don't know how she does it... Every book in this series is even better than the last! Not to mention the sneak peak about the next book at the very end!!! I can't wait for the next one!

Fairytale mystery!! The best!

I am throughly enjoying this series. As a storyteller, reader of fairytales my whole life and a collector of children’s books, I loved this book so much! I appreciate the way the author incorporates quotes from books and authors. The storybook village sounded amazing and I so wanted to be there! The activities the families and children enjoyed were such fun!! Ellery Adams is so imaginative in her stories! I want to visit Storyton Manor!!

THEY ARE BACK!

WAS I THE ONLY ONE WHO FEARED THE PREVIOUS BOOK MIGHT BE THE LAST? I WAS SI THRILLED WHEN I PRE-ORDERED THIS BOOK AND EVEN MORE SO AFTER I READ IT. FEAR NOT, THE STORYBOOK RETREAT LIVES ON! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
