Complicated

Interesting character. Different from most investigators as she has a special gift of a photographic memory. She goes to Nice, France for a conference, but becomes involved in a poisoning murder she must unravel. AND she enjoys the food.
I’m looking forward to the next story.

More than cozy; less than procedural

I’m a full time mystery fan. This is well-written, entertaining, well narrated. Likable protagonist. It’s “meatier” than a cozy mystery, but not as riveting or intense as an in-depth police procedural mystery. It’s a nice lighter break between more cerebral and/or heavy duty reads. But it’s not as fluffy or ridiculous as many of the cozy mysteries can be. I will listen to the next in the series after a couple more deeper dives.

Delightful

Just like reading a classic. Steady development that feels comfortable because of abundant details and unhurried descriptions.

Love it.

Story stopped during chapter 15

Unable to hear the end of the story it stops abruptly during chapter 15 very frustrating to get so far into a story and not be able to finish it

Very funny very descriptive love the plot!

The investigator is very strong but very human, funny and female. the plot s great and flowed.
