Murder at the Bed & Breakfast

A Liz Lucas Cozy Mystery, Book 4

De: Dianne Harman

Narrado por: Kelli Petroski

A murder. A wedding reception. Not a good start to wedded bliss.

Plenty of quirky suspects including the wealthy rancher who's still in love with the best man's wife, the smarmy minister who ran against him for county supervisor in the recent election, the estranged stepmother of his wife, his sister-in-law's drug-addicted ex-husband, and his ex-girlfriend whose family has strong Mafia ties.

As always, plenty of recipes, dogs, and good food in this popular cozy mystery series by a two-time USA Today best-selling author.

Murder Mystery Another Amateur Sleath

I got hooked on Mysteries where an Amateur Sleuth helps the police solve these cases.

As I have read almost everything she has written, I have been looking for similar situations by another author. I think I may have found one.

The mysteries stem from realistic murder situations and include realistic situations that could happen to an Amateur Sleuth. Enjoyed this book that came to life by the narrator. I think this author’s books will be part of my reading list.

Check these out as I go looking for my next one.

Like someone yelling on your ear for 4 hours

I really didn't care for the book, but have to think a different narrator might have made it more enjoyable. When speaking in a character voice it flowed OK and while not really smooth, at least sounded human and was understandable. When speaking the part of the narrator I felt like someone was yelling in my ear in an extremely choppy staccato style. There were pauses between words that simply didn't need to be there. I gave up completely after about 2 hours.

unlikable characters and cheesy

What a pathetic group of characters! Ugh! Broken engagements, spurned lovers, and many possible villains. There were several less than scrupulous characters and some even shady actions to consider as possible villains. I was a bit put off with the lack of integrity of some of the men and women!!! All the characters seem like small town gossips and weren't likable. Liz was tolerable. I was SICK TO DEATH of hearing about the postponed honeymoon. I'm sure the marriage was consummated without it, so what's the big deal???? When this wasn't cheesy it was syrupy sickening sweet. Overkill. Less is more, please!!! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

Not my favorite cozy mystery but it was okay,

The story line is a little corny, It is not a story I would listen to over again. The story does stand alone.

The narration left a lot to be desired. I did listen to a sample but when you are listening to the entire story you pick up issues. Some areas in the narration felt like it was being read by someone who had not read the story before, IT did not flow well.

I recieved this book at my request and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Entertaining

Murder at the Bed and Breakfast is an entertaining cozy mystery. While it is a part of a series, it can easily be enjoyed as a standalone without feeling lost. I appreciate that the main characters are middle aged with grown children and still having adventures. The narrator gave a nice performance.
