Publisher's Summary

An ancient bog hidden away in a forest is the perfect backdrop for murder....

Bogged Down is a mystery set on Vashon Island, a place that has been described as Mayberry-meets-Burning Man. Lavender (Lew) Lewis moved there because it's only a 20-minute ferry ride from Seattle, yet light years away in tempo and character. She grew up on a commune in Alaska, joined the army at 17, does woods parkour for exercise, and HR investigations to earn a living. Life in her waterfront cabin with her two food-obsessed cats is predictable and stress-free. Until she leads a tour group into an ancient bog on the island and discovers a body.

Well done

island-life, law-enforcement, amateur-sleuth, nature-preservation, animal-welfare*****

I think I used to work with an incarnation of Lavender (Lew) Lewis who was raised in a commune, is an Afghanistan vet, HR investigator, Parkour enthusiast and very logical/resourceful. Which is by way of saying that the choice of Harley Jane Kozak to be narrator is spot on!
The mystery is and expanded locked room because it takes place on an island which is a glorified small town and requires ferry, boat, or air transport to access. Internal politics makes the suspect pool somewhat manageable and there are no in-between cops (only dumb, self-important, or competent but unimaginative). Great characters and a really good whodunit.
I won this audiobook in a giveaway. Yay me!

Not worth it.

This premise sounded great. Just didn’t deliver. Reader was awful. You couldn’t tell who was speaking; all characters sound the same. Don’t waste your credit. It’s probably better if you get the book to read.

good mystery

This was a good mystery. The narration was excellent and the voices were distinct for each person with no irritating ones. The story kept my interest all the way to the end.
I was given this free audiobook copy at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
