A Proposal to Die For

De: Molly Harper

Narrado por: Amanda Ronconi

A fast-paced, witty, and delightful new mystery about a marriage proposal planner whose biggest job yet is threatened by a dead body (or two).

Jessamine Bricker loves a plan. Contingency plans and pros-and-cons lists are her love language, and because of that, her proposal planning business is thriving. But with rent costs rising at her office building, Jess jumps at the chance to plan a proposal between her snobby high school classmate, Diana, and her very wealthy boyfriend, Trenton Tillard…the Fourth.


Roped into joining Diana’s ”pre-bridal” retreat at the exclusive Golden Ash resort, Jess hopes to fade into the background, get some work done, and maybe find some time to unwind. Their first day is anything but relaxing: Diana is furious about the mountain spa’s lack of cell phone reception, the couple next door argues constantly, and Jess swears she just saw a drug deal go down. To top it all off, she’s warned to stay out of the woods by the gruff and sexy chef, Dean Osbourne. Is this a retreat or a horror movie?


As Jess tries to do her job while placating the bride-to-be and her increasingly over-the-top demands, she spends more and more time with the resort owners, finding herself much more in tune with the laid-back Osbourne family than her social climbing “boss.” Between a meditation garden-related drowning and Jess’s discovery of a body in a sauna, it's clear that deadly secrets abound at the Golden Ash. Now it’s up to Jess to unravel the mysteries here in the mountains—before all her plans are cancelled…permanently.

a cozy mystery thats safe to listen to at work

As a ginger who likes kale smoothies and the color apricot, the main antagonist hit very close to home. Ouch. 😅 coral is one of the rare pinks we get away with wearing, okay? color coordination as a walking matchstick is hard, yall. but this was a solid book. Some of the content gets repetitive without enough of a precedent to really resonate. 'Jesse's big book of life lessons.' Also all the comments about the smell of the parmesan pasta were a little gross. But theres good humor and its a comfortable easy read with a lot of relatable content and no spice that would make it risque to listen too in public or at work. I'm always looking for safe cozy reads while I'm working and this fit the bill. It also reminded me of a few rare spa visits, including one with a forest/rainforest/monsoon themed shower which was nice to reminisce on. I'd recommend.

Really fun!

This story has everything I love about a Molly/ Amanda audiobook! Bonus points, for the first time ever, I didn't guess who done it. I really hope we get more stories set at the Golden Ash.

I loved the characters

It ended too soon and I wanted to know about more of the Osbournes and their back stories.

Fantastic Stand Alone Who Done It

I am a huge fan of Molly Harper’s. While I am still partial to her earlier books I really love this recent offering. This stand alone book will pull you in and have you rooting for different characters as the story progresses. Yes it took me a while to put the puzzle together but I didn’t mind the journey to get the. He well developed characters and the different personalities that were brought out made me smile. Though I want the recipe for the meatballs and sauce. Amanda Ronconi as usual was phenomenal in her portrayal of all the characters!

I look forward to Molly Harper’s next offering. Which won’t be soon enough as usual.

Proposal to die for

Molly Harper never disappoints, I loved this one, and the murderer were not predictable, at all. Excellent storyline and so was Amanda Ronconi's narration (as usual), I highly recommend this book.

Different from her usual books and a wonderful heartwarming story

I I'm so glad that molly wrote this Story. Although different from her usual offerings, It contains all of the Snark and comedy I really love and appreciate it with her work. I truly hope to read more about the characters and (hopefully) some of their back stories

Love this!

Unexpected plot turns, LOL parts, all of it! And one of my Very Favorite Narrators!!!

The humor used.

I love Molly Harper’s writing she incorporates humor into each story. Love Amanda’s voice reading the story to me.

Not Molly Harper's Best

This book was just okay. I love Molly's other books, especially the Halfmoon Hollow Series. This book lacked the snark and humor of her other books. It was hard to get invested in the characters in this book. The plot was far fetched for a realistic fiction story, as well. I gave it 4 stars because the narration was excellent and I overall like Molly Harper's books in general. This book just fell short of what I've come expect from her books.

I loved this book!

I read (or listen to) ANYTHING that Molly Harper writes. She as the author and Amanda Ranconi as the narrator are a tough team to beat. Having said that, this particular book was even a step ahead of the usual. Her characters are lovable (or hate-able in some cases), and that's a good thing, because it's tough to love a book if you don't get involved with the characters. But this book was also a very finely-woven mystery/suspense. I hope she writes more in this setting, and I highly recommend them!
