A Death in Duck

Lindsay Harding Cozy Mystery Series

By: Mindy Quigley

Narrated by: Holly Adams

With the new year approaching, hospital chaplain Lindsay Harding heads for a much-needed break in the peaceful resort town of Duck on North Carolina's outer banks. Her plan to attend the wedding of her friend, Anna, runs aground when a boatload of trouble washes ashore, and as the old year ticks down, the body count goes up. Thrust into the path of an increasingly desperate killer, Lindsay must uncover a sinister secret before she winds up swimming with the fishes.

Old family scandals, sunken World War II U-boats, obscene desserts, and a stolen Doberman all guarantee a far from restful break for the irreverent reverend, who makes her second appearance in this lively mystery.

Why not write women smarter?

My title says it all. This is not only about this book. I'm just getting tired of book heroines constantly making dumb, choices. It all works out in the end but it gets old.

A Death in Duck

I enjoyed this book. a lot! It was fun and interesting.There are so many people and so many things changing dramatically, it is hard to keep track of.The relationships feel real.Holly Adams was a great narrator.I was provided this book free by the author, narrator or publisher.

A great and entertaining story

Another entertaining read that didn't disappoint. Book 2 in the Lindsay Harding mystery series was just as good the first one. There's a lot of moving parts to this book, but at the core is the bizarre death of Lindsay's aunt Patty in the city of Duck. Great storytelling. Narrator Holly Adams delivers another spectacular performance and is just as good as any narrator I've heard. The various accents are truly remarkable. Lindsay's best friend Ron speaks English with an Asian accent. Her best friend Anna and her mother have a distinguished southern accent. Family friend Simmy has an unusual accent from North Carolina which I've never even heard of, and villain Leeland has distinct voice of his own. Keeping all these straight, switching back and forth between characters and narrator voice is magical. I'm still not sure how the good narrators are able to pull this off. Amazing! 

Great fun and delightful characters!

This delightful story was brought to life in an expert fashion by Holly Adams. As a North Carolina native, I appreciated her authentic accents and the charming way she told this tale! It’s a “feel good” murder mystery with interesting plot twists and characters! I just wish the third Lindsay Harding mystery was available in an audio book! I hope you decide to release that soon! I love this series!

Great new series

This book was good but quite as light and humorous as the first. I thought the characters were likable and interesting. Excited for the next one!
