Guilty, or a set up?

I listened to this audiobook in one session, while I was cleaning. I carried it around with me, and never noticed how long I was working. The story kept my interest through to the end. While I was disappointed to be able to guess a sizable part of the outcome, there were surprises for me as well. The author, Christa Nardi, was new to me. I felt that the plot was very well constructed, and her writing fluid and enjoyable. The narrator, Jeanne Pilgrim Mayo, truly brought each character to life. With distinct voices for every character, male or female, adult or child, all were easily distinguished. Her narration portrayed the personality and state of mind of each character throughout the progression of the book. I will continue to read more of the series, as I'm looking forward to seeing how things progress for the characters. Mrs. Chantilly, in particular, is an intriguing person I'd like to discover more about. I would certainly recommend this book for any cozy mystery fan.

Excellent Clean Cozy Mystery

This is the first book in the Sheridan Hendley Mystery Series, a Cozy Mystery. This series is a spin-off of the Cold Creek Cozy Mysteries, but I haven't read to this series yet. Sheridan, Brett, and his daughter, Maddie, are great characters. The supporting characters are intriguing. The mystery, is well crafted, and entertaining, filled with twists and turns. I liked the characters, the intrigue, and the great conclusion. Jeanne Pilgrim Mayo did a great job with the narration. This is an excellent, clean cozy mystery. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to the next book in the series.

A New Place, Another Murder

This is book 1 in A Sheridan Hendley Mystery series, but be warned this is a spin-off of another series. At times I felt like I had missed some background information, but in some ways, it added to the mystery.

Christa Nardi did a great job with keeping the story interesting. A clean cozy, that kept me guessing til the end.

I have listened to a few of Jeanne Pilgrim Mayo’s other narrations, and this was right on par with them. Well done!

Intricate Twist and Turns

Sheridan, Mattie and Brent definitely moved to one busy little town that consisted of theft, murder. setups. addiction and murder. The author weaves an intricate tale of all of these aspects that will make you think twice about quiet little towns. Jeanne Pilgrim Mayo did a great job bringing the story to life with voices full of emotion and suspense. I would definitely highly recommend this book to clean cozy mystery lovers who love a good twist. This is my honest unbiased review.

Good story

I enjoyed listening to this book. Sheridan has moved in with her new husband and her step daughter has moved in m permanently. Her step daughter fi ds her friend in trouble with the police, Sheridan finds that her step daughter is being involved in the same trouble.

Can Sheridan prove they are being set up or is she on the sidelines because of the relationship? You will not be disappointed listening to this story. I did receive this book for an honest review.

Framing others for theft & murder?

An entertaining cozy mystery with all the elements I love. There’s likable, believable characters As the protagonist snd het family, a mystery with twists & turns, and pets! The story was well written and the narration makes the story come alive! Looking foward to reading more books by Christa Nardi.

A New Place

This was an enjoyable cozy mystery! The characters were fun and worked well together. The storyline was good. There was lots of drama, family issues, and controversy. Why is Sheridan’s step daughter being targeted? It certainly seems like someone is after them or at least trying to scare them. The story also had humor throughout. And dogs. I loved the dogs!

Suspenseful!

I like all the twists and turns. I wasn’t sure who did what. This book kept my attention until the very end.

A great gentle mystery

Really enjoyable - narration was brilliant

Although dealt with drugs and opiod addiction it was still a cozy mystery which made you feel good. You could just imagine yourself living there and working with the dogs, who are always a star.

This was a really easy listen and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I was given a free copy by the author but this in no way influenced my decision.

A new place, a new mystery series for me

I enjoyed this book. This is the first book by this author that I have read or listened too but it won't be the last. I did feel like I had missed out on some history between the characters but as this is book one in the series I only found out the main character has been in a previous series by reading other reviews, a series that I might just have to check out. I liked the characters and the close knit family group the book portrayed. There was a lot of characters and at first I struggled keeping them all straight (especially as there was three sons who had three sons) but as the story and plot unfolded I became hooked. I liked the mystery and the way you were never sure if the drug situation was connected to the murder or not. The inclusion of the time spent at the animal shelter was nice and lent a light hearted ness to the story as well as some clues.
Newly married Sheridan is looking for something to do while she looks for a teaching position in the area. Volunteering at the animal shelter is fun but doesn't fill her hours. Maddie her adopted daughter is spending her summer days at summer school hopefully making friends ready for the start of school. But things aren't going so well as her new friend is arrest over the pizza money for the camp is stolen and the police get an anonymous tip to look in his bag. Maddie doesn't believe he would steal and when Sheridan finds the same kind of envelope full of cash in Maddie's backpack she is inclined to believe her. Can she prove Maddie and her friend innocent? And who would want to take them in the first place? The two bullies of the camp are connected to the most influential family in town and it will be an up hill battle to prove there darlings guilty of anything. But when her family starts to get threatening presents and are followed Sheridan knows she must protect her new family and friends.
I liked the narrator and thought she did a good job bringing the characters to life with there own distinct voices.
