Bookplate Special

By: Lorna Barrett

Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell

Bookstore owner Tricia Miles has put up-and put up with-her uninvited college roommate for weeks. In return, Pammy has stolen $100. But the day she's kicked out, Pammy's found dead in a Dumpster, leaving loads of questions unanswered.

Cannot Stand Main Character Like Her Sister Better

Would you try another book from Lorna Barrett and/or Cassandra Campbell?

Maybe if Tricia can be toned down.

If you’ve listened to books by Lorna Barrett before, how does this one compare?

Increasingly irritating as each book goes by.

Have you listened to any of Cassandra Campbell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Was Bookplate Special worth the listening time?

Slightly yes since I am almost at the end.

Any additional comments?

Please leave the social issues out of the book. Some of your readers actually own guns and take offense at your offhand social statements. Another example is waste and the environment. Though I do appreciate protection of the environment, I read enough of this information in the news and I don't need to listen to it while I need a few minutes to not hear about it on my daily commute in my non vegetable oil fuel vehicle! And Tricia just gets more irritating as each book goes by and her sister becomes more endearing. Perhaps th main character should be Angelica and not Tricia.

Cute series

This is a cute, cozy mystery series, and I have enjoyed them so far. One of my pet peeves is authors using their books to blatantly lecture readers about their pet social concerns, and this book is full of lectures. I don’t mind social awareness, but the author should be sure it seamlessly fits into the story. Books read for entertainment shouldn’t devolve into a diatribe from characters who seem to be in the book merely to spout statistics. I will try one more book of the series, and if it continues I will move on to another author.

Hated this

Would you try another book from Lorna Barrett and/or Cassandra Campbell?

I have been listening to this series and have loved them. This book however is soo disappointing. At least 75% on the problem with food waste.

Surprise twist ending

The pace of the storytelling was good. I even learned something new along with Tricia. I'd never heard of fregans before listening to this book, but got to learn about them as Tricia worked to solve the murder of her friend Pammy. I thought I'd figured out who the killer was, but there was a surprise twist at the end. Lorna Barrett a/k/a Lorainne Bartlett, is one of my favorite authors. I've only read or listened to a few books in this series, but I'll definitely be reading more of them.

surprises till the very end.

some books a listener can guess, not this one. love the now whats goimg to happen next; chapter aftrr chapter. if you want a compelling listen, listen to this atudio book.
