I loved the narrator's voice.

I liked that there was no profanity. The storyline was well developed. I thought the characters were believable.

Another winner

Maddie Day has written another great installment in the Country Store Mystery series. All the usual characters are present as well as a few new ones and an intriguing mystery to solve.
Laural Merlington as always gave a standout performance as she breathed life into the storyline and gave each character their own distinct voice.
I highly look forward to the next in series.

Same character, traveling

Liked the changed venue for the main character, while still having mentions of familiar characters. Traveling to where the main character grew up was fun

The Story was epic!!

Loved it! Just when you think you know the killer it goes a different direction. I love mysteries like this!

Nacho Average Murder

Loved this book! What a good mystery story!
The author keeps you guessing in this whodunit novel! She also does a great job of describing the area and the food so typical to California! Read this book!

the description of location.

Good story line. still not crazy about the narrator, she sounds like the character is in her 80s. 🤨 instead of 28. only negative.

Narrator

Narrator is supposed be age 30 years? Her voice sounds more like a woman in her 60’s.
I find while she reads well. The disconnect of voice to age makes reading awkward

too many untied storylines

I've been listening to this series since book 1 and this one was disappointing. There were many storylines that just stopped without a resolution such as the black suv. I did like some of the new characters and hope they show up again in the series.

Not my Favorite

I enjoyed the book, but not as much as when the stories are set in her hometown. Great mystery though!

Not my Favorite in the Series

Robbie Jordan is in her hometown of Santa Barbara, California for her high school reunion. It could not be more different from South Lick, Indiana. When someone questions her Mother's death, Robbie cannot help but investigate. Will she uncover the secrets from the past?

I love this series, but I just don't love this installment. I missed the familiar characters and setting. The mystery itself felt a bit flat. We begin by investigating the death of Robbie's Mom and kind of wander around from there. The resolution of the story wasn't satisfying. Did the accused do it? I guess? I'm not entirely convinced.
