simple stories

very simple stories a bit religious but easy to listen to before sleep no nightmares.

An extra bonus

I received a free code for this book.
Really enjoyed listening to all stories in this box set, really got to know the characters well, and grew more attached to them after each book.

Most Enjoyable!

Each story in this box set is a nice continuation of the main character’s storyline interwoven into an interesting variety of murders for each book. I’ve never listened to a boxed set before, and when one ended, I found myself eager to hear the next one.

The narrator did a tremendous job keeping the main characters’ voices straight throughout all 13 stories, while providing enough difference for the peripheral characters to keep it interesting. Joanna Roddy does a great job keeping the story moving and has a wonderful range.

Fun fact: Just when you think your listening pleasure has come to an end after book 13, along comes an extra special treat!

This boxed set is definitely worth the money (or the credit) you spend on it.

Fun just plain fun.

wonderful, I will listen again. each story not to long so it was fun. great

A set of delightful and inspiring stories

Baker's Dozen Cozy Mystery Boxset includes a delightful ensemble of mysteries with an inspiring message to practice compassion.

In the world that we live these days, it is refreshing to hear the stories of Sammy Baker, a talented baker and crime solver who not only gives affection to the people she loves, but has a profound interest in helping those who cannot provide for themselves. No matter the reason, she is always looking for a way to help others. I am very grateful for the inspiration to practice compassion in our day-to-day activities.

Also, thank you so very much for the Ocean Bliss and Grissly Bits story. I loved it. I can't wait to hear more of Molly Grey's stories.

cute stories but

cute stories if read separate might be ok but listening to them back to back i couldn't finish after 4 books i skipped around but everyone was the same and predictable.

Captivating!

Great read from beginning to end with an unexpected surprise at the end of the series. A free book!

Cute cozy mysteries

These stories were fun and entertaining. They’re a nice break from some of the more intense murder mysteries.

Super cute w a bonus book

I loved these characters and the goodness in their hearts. I’m not one to seek out a Christian series but I wasn’t beat over the head with it. I am a firm believer in the golden rule even if I am an atheist. I have worked with the homeless in my town so that hit home for me. Sammy was a delight to get to know. The entire series was super cute and each story is pretty short.
Anyone wanting clean quick reads with characters who feel like family and friends will enjoy this.
Narration by Joanna Roddy was spectacular. She does amazing voices.

Boring

I only finished this because I had paid for it. The stories were slow and boring and the narrator was none descript. Sorry but will not be buying any more of these Cosy books.

Thoroughly enjoyable series

Loved it, soothing, pleasant, relaxing. Didn't detract from the story by including religion, in fact it added to the story by her belief & getting strength & encouragement. It did take awhile for her to get with her fella, this could have been introduced earlier on, albeit it did add to the tensions of love 😍.

Simple short stories

I have to admit when I purchased this box set I didn't notice that they were Christian books, I'm not religious but I was bought up believing in God so I wasn't that put off but I did have to roll my eyes at parts of these books lol.
These are very simple short cozy mysteries following Sammy Baker and her return to her hometown, there isn't anything too deep about them but they are nice to listen to to fall asleep.
I really didn't like the miss Molly book at the end however, the fake British accent was just too much for me as I am British I just couldn't get into it at all.
All in all for 13 books I'd say they are worth it for a light easy listen
