A Dashie Discovery

A Mobile Groomer Mystery, Book 1

De: M. Alfano

Narrado por: Karen Commins

Hi, I’m Leslie Winters, and when I left Houston for my hometown of Pecan, Texas, I needed a do-over in a big way. So I set up shop in my dad’s old shed and took on clients less likely to run off with now-cheating exes.

My pet-grooming business turned out to be a pretty fun way to make ends meet…until I dropped off two tough Pomeranian clients at their home, and found their dead owner waiting for us.

Then local law enforcement finds me at the scene, and my dachshund finds the murder weapon right in front of them. Oh, boy!

Now I’m out to solve the crime before a certain dreamy detective tries to collar me for the crime. But someone is on my tail, and they’re making it clear they don’t want me to investigate.

After a few close shaves, I’m now more determined than ever to solve this case. Can I figure out whodunnit before I wind up in deep do-do or worse?

A good mystery murder story with wonderful characters and a very slow burn clean romance budding between Leslie and the detective Adam. The narrator is a really good job with telling the story and bringing each character to life.

DASH BY DISCOVERY

AN INTERESTING STORY FILLED WITH MYSTERY AND ADVENTURE! NARRATION WAS DONE WELL. FUN TO LISTEN TO.

A Dashie Discovery

I sometimes struggle with books that are this short. You need to allow for some really large leaps to get everything done in such a short time. Once you accept the leaps, this is a nice, clean cozy.

Cute, easy to follow murder mystery

I don’t know why but this narration really didn’t do it for me. I’m new to the audiobook world so I’d like to chalk it up to that.

Fun cozy

Fun cozy and I love the characters! I received a free copy and left my honest review

A cute cozy.

This cute cozy mystery is is exactly what I expected, no more or less and what I wanted today.

A super fun little cozy

I thought this was a super fun little cozy mystery. Definitely recommend it. The narration is done very well.

Love a good cozy!

A cozy mystery was the best kind of listen to start my weekend. M Alfano starts her Mobile Groomer series with Leslie, recently divorced and in Pecan as she starts her new dog grooming business. When she goes to one of her clients' homes, she finds him floating in his hot tub. Now with her friend Sophia, we enjoy their small town sleuthing to find the real killer. And it's not only these two as they search for the truth! The local detective is as well, a little annoyed, but a lot attracted to Leslie and their flirty banter gives us total entertainment. Small town quirkiness, and lets not forget the dogs make this a fun listen!

Karen Commins keeps the laughs and suspects coming with her performance. So many characters and a voice for each one, she made me laugh and want to know who is guilty! I was impressed with her narration and will be watching for more.

Cutesy

I enjoyed this cozy mystery audiobook of amateur sleuths Lesley Winters and her best friend, Sophia as they unravel a murder in their little town. The book is quirky with zany characters. Narrator Karen Commins did a great job with the voices.

Cozy Mystery Fans Will Likely Enjoy it

~Disclaimer: I received a free audiobook copy of this book.~

I always like the MCs in cozy mysteries to have a reason to get involved. In this case she comes across the murder scene, but other than that it is just because moments after meeting the detective she decides she HAS to solve it. Just some sense she has. This is not a good reason. This just makes me think our MC is acting foolishly. So, not the best start.

Our MC is sympathetic and generally interesting.... if lacking in self esteem and at times careless.

I do feel like this is a mystery where you can follow along with the MCs logic in solving the crime. The dogs in the story are cute. It does hit all the typical cozy mystery beats, but if you are fans of the sub-genre I don’t think that is a negative.

Karen Commins does an excellent job narrating. If you like the sample you should have no complaints.

I won’t be continuing the series as it doesn’t hit my preferred beats.
