a great mystery!

I love Aggie and her friends! I love how they keep ending up in "Prickly Situations"! It is so much fun to see how they get out of it, especially Aggie! a definite recommendation from me!

Good read!

Quirky cozy mystery really held my attention. Fun story line

I received a review copy

Truth is stranger than fiction

A Prickly Situation is one of the funniest books I have heard in a long time. Aggie get mixed up in not one but three mysteries. The comedic timing is impeccable. I love how the storyline flowed so effortlessly around the mysteries. I truly could picture this book being a movie because of how well it is written. The book is fast paced so hold on for the ride it is well worth it.
I received this audio book upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review because I really enjoyed this book and I am now such a huge fan of the author. Michelle Ann Hollstein just keeps impressing me with each book I read/listen to.

Aggie SAYS what we all THINK!

These stories are so fun and light hearted! In a world that's miserable these days...its so nice to have stories that are comical while approaching a serious problem. Aggie seems to attract trouble but usually figures it out..and usually through a comical adventure. I feel like it compares a bit to the Murder She Wrote TV show from years ago, except funny. I feel the same way Aggie feels about exercise...eek just shoot me! I relate so much to her. I am literally the one with chocolate sauce smeared all over my shirt.. except I probably sat in it and trying to explain THAT! Keep em coming.

Not for me

I did not care for this book, but it may be that it is because it is part of a series and this is the first one of the series that I’ve read. There were a lot of characters that I felt it was just assumed that you knew them and how they were intertwined. That being said, I also didn’t care for the characters all that much. I found their banter and discussions tedious and unnecessary for the story line. Though if you are reading the entire series it is likely builidng their character. It’s unfortunate because the main character, Aggie, has celiac disease, as do I. It is mentioned frequently in the book, but not enough to be annoying. There are also several gluten free recipes provided at the end of the book of items that Aggie mentioned or ate during the course of the story that I really appreciated.

I was provided with a free copy of this audiobook for my honest review. The views expressed here are entirely my own.

Very fun listen

This was a very fun book to listen to. The author has done a wonderful job of writing this book. This is the 6th book of the series and was another great addition to it. It has murder, mystery, suspense and a lot of humor.

I Love Aggie!!

Another Aggie Underhill cozy mystery! I just love Aggie. She always makes me chuckle and helps me to escape reality for a time. This is yet another entertaining episode in Aggie's world. The narration was off for me. Becky Brabham has a nice voice and read at a great pace. The problem I had was the voices didn't quite match the characters for me. There were times when Aggie's daughter sounded older than her mother. Anyway, I was able listen to all of the story but I think another narrator would have been better. Still, if you like the Aggie Underhill series then it's worth it to get this one!

Get the story for the cute cozy that it is...

I generally enjoy the Cute/Cozy Mystery genre, and this story is a good example of why that is! All the elements are there... great locations like Joshua Tree national park for one, and a tanning bed. There were bodies (dead ones), and of course a busybody or two... Michelle Ann Hollstein held her cards close to her vest for this one, and keeps you guessing right up to the big reveal!
I probably would have enjoyed the book more if the narration hadn't bugged me. Becky Brabham's voice is great, but as a voice actress, I found her missing the mark. It's just that some of her voice selections were a bit off-putting, and didn't work for me. Ah, well... such is life.
So get the book for the cute cozy that it is...

Crazy Adventure

This was a fun book that was full of fun characters. It kept me laughing through the entire book. My favorite scene was at the Joshua park. When the GPS advised they were there and the car took a tumble over the cliff. I look forward to more in this series. I was gifted the book at my request in exchange for an honest review.

Very good story

I really enjoyed this quirky tale. Both the writing and narration are impeccable. You won't be disappointed with this one.

Great, simple story, kept you wondering

Great, simple story. I wondered throughout how the different threads would come together. I felt sorry for the unrequited love of the police officer. The accents were brilliant and greatly added to the story. An entertaining few hours that helped me with the gardening. I definitely recommend this book.

Good

A Prickly Situation

I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.
This was my first book with Aggie Underhill and I really enjoyed listening to it.
Becky Brabham is a fine narrator although I did struggle with some of her character voices.
A well written book by Michelle Ann Hollstein and as I’m around Aggie’s age I just loved listening to what she got up to and how she felt.. like her gym experience lol..
All in all a great listen and I’d recommend this book from the Aggie Underhill series and look forward to listening to more of her adventures!

Fun

Cute cozy mystery with fun quirky characters that are comical and easy to like. It has everything you want in a cozy mystery as we follow Aggie's adventure into social media and murders.

I thought the narrator did a good job throughout the performance.

enjoyed storyline

enjoyed this audio book written by Michelle Ann Holstein
but the narrator was not that good shame to say
loved the story line

Aggies Humourous Exploits

With a cast of quirky characters a mystery is solved, social media joined, love life improved and new arrival announced. If that isn't enough there's some scrumptious recipes at the end. I loved the humour and interplay of characters. My only criticism was the over the top voice characterization which was a little distracting.
