Bodies, Baddies, and a Crabby Tabby: A Bliss Bay Cozy Mystery

Bliss Bay Cozy Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Sherri Bryan

Narrated by: Esther Wane

Thirty-nine-year-old Megan Fallon is in a pickle. Not only is she suffering from empty-nest syndrome, but she's lost the job she loved, and her fiance's run off with her hairdresser.

A complete life change is what's called for, so when the opportunity to make a new start presents itself following news of a family celebration, Megan is lured back to her childhood home.

With a party to organize, old friends to catch up with, an ex-husband and his jealous wife to avoid, a mischievous uncle on the lookout for adventure, a clumsy childhood acquaintance who has undergone a startling transformation, and a cantankerous tabby cat to contend with, Megan has her hands full. However, what started off as a leisurely break soon takes a chilling turn when members of the community start getting bumped off at an alarming rate, and Megan finds herself at the heart of an investigation that has her suspecting everyone.

Could the murderer be the local finance advisor, whose misjudged investment recommendation cost his clients their life savings? Or maybe the village celebrity; a footballer who appears to have at least one skeleton in a cupboard he'd prefer was kept firmly locked? Or what about a member of a classical music trio who seem to have plenty of secrets they'd rather keep to themselves? Or is the killer someone else entirely?

Twists and turns

There were some nice twist and turns to the book on who did what. Enjoyable to listen too.

A not so simple cozy mystery

It was an enjoyable read- not too obvious as who the culprit was which made it a good listen compared to other cozy mysteries

Fun cozy mystery

I enjoyed this mystery mostly with a grumpy cat being the center of things gone wrong. Not the cats fault. I thought how easily the bad guys confessed was a bit off, but other then that a good story

Loved

This was good. Had great characters. Will do more in this series The narrator did a good job

Fun and entertaining

Bodies, Baddies, and a Crabby Tabby is a fun and entertaining cozy mystery with engaging characters and a well developed plot. I thoroughly enjoyed it and bought the next book right after I finished.

Not bad

It does what a cozy is intended to do. There are several mysteries to solve, family drama, and small town shinanigans

Flat

The story and the characters fell flat for me. I finally gave up and stopped listening.
