De: Linda Kozar

Narrado por: Sarah Nicole Ruddy

When Lovita Mae Horton wins a trip for two to attend a cooking school in Paris, she invites her best friend, Sue Jan Pritchard, along. Their joy is short-lived however, when they find out the trip is to Paris, Texas. Sue Jan has family there - Aunt Lila and Cousin Pouncey - but discovers her eccentric Cousin Pouncey has just passed away.

When Sue Jan's unique antique platinum engagement ring goes missing, they suspect she lost it when saying her last goodbyes.

With her wedding only a few months away, Lovita, Sue Jan, and Aunt Lila decide to unearth the ring on their own. Instead they dig up the dirt on an international ring of art thieves intent on brushing them off for good.

Read it.....DON'T LISTEN TO IT.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I listen to audiobooks while I drive for work......from 500-1000 miles every 2 weeks. So that amounts to a lot of books. This narrators rendition of Sue Jan's voice (and all the characters, really) was so ear-splitting I actually got a headache listening to two chapters. I listen through the Bluetooth in my car, and I found myself turning down the volume at Sue Jan's voice, then having to turn it up with other characters. Very distracting to driving......AND the story. I'm probably going to read the rest of it (only because it's a series) and will keep an eye out for this narrator. I realize reading a novel aloud must be difficult, but this is not the series for her. Sorry. I only gave the story 2 stars because I don't remember it.

Has A Tisket, A Casket turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, but only because I've listened to another one that I enjoyed.

What didn’t you like about Sarah Nicole Ruddy’s performance?

Um, the ear splitting voice that gave me a headache in two chapters.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Where's my Tylenol? Thank goodness I have no more patients to see today. Pullover and buy another book.

Save your money

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The story was ok but the performance was awful.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Tisket, A Casket?

How could the performance have been better?

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Any additional comments?

Love this series

The narrator didn't proof her recording as there was a repeat in some of the lines. I've followed this entire series and have had a lot of fun with it. I live how these women find themselves in trouble. this time it's a Chase as food is being chucked from the truck. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Performance is awful! Do not waste money- buy the book.

What the heck happened here?! I listen to around two audio books a week due to traveling for work. The voices she makes are hideous! Absolutely the worst I have ever heard. I am so disappointed because there is no way I can ever READ this book, so here I am less than 10 minutes in and having to decide to I just skip book 2 in the series or suffer through this?! I really can't! It is THAT bad! Now don't mistaken this as a bad review of the actual story. I haven't even gotten through chapter 1. So I don't know. Please re-do this audio book so I can listen.

That voice! UG!

The vocal choice for one of the main characters is so irritating that the book becomes almost too painful to listen to.
