Interesting Story

I love a good cozy mystery and this one did not disappoint. I did, however, have some unanswered questions. I guess if this will be a series I will get the opportunity to have those questions answered. I love the small town feel of the book. I enjoyed the narrator she made the book pleasant to listen to.

A Great Cozy Mystery!!!

This cozy mystery is such a joy to listen to. Eryn Scott writes a smart, suspenseful and funny mystery which has an ending you will not see coming! I loved following the main characters as they figured out clues to catch the murderer. The story was well written and the characters believable. I can't wait to listen to the next book! The narration was awesome. Jennifer Jill Araya gave each character their own voice and emotions. She really helped the story come alive and pull the listener in until the end. I will be looking for her as a narrator in future books. Loved the combination and will be recommending this book to my cozy mystery friends.

Cute, light clean cozy

Likeable characters, enjoyable cozy. Narration is good. Pacing and voices are well done. I liked that the recipes are included at the end in the audio. Seems to be a fun series with expanding characters. I like Hadley helping her brother Paul investigate. I like Luke's character and the friends introduced so far. I will continue to the next book. I received a free copy of the audio book in exchange for an honest review.

Loved it! Great read!

This was an enjoyable little mystery. I would definitely recommend it. A very easy & relaxed flow.

A Solid Start to New Series

I found this story a great start for the new series. This is my first title by Eryn Scott. We get introduced to the main characters, Deputy Sheriff Paul James and his twin sister Hadley. There are a few more characters that will become part of the normal crew, but I don't want to spoil any of the mystery by naming them.

The whodunit starts off pretty quickly, but I honestly found the fact that Hadley doing most of the investigative work (rather than her brother) a little off-putting. I know the synopsis says it's easier for her, but Hadley runs hot and cold with her jumping to conclusions that I found the story a little more on the silly side (think I Love Lucy) than Cozy Mystery. That said, once I accepted this story to be more chuckle than sensible story, I enjoyed the lightness and the quirky characters.

Narrator Jennifer Jill Araya continues to deliver a light and innocent tone that works nicely with this genre. She kept the story moving and made the listening enjoyable.
