cute story.... the narrator...

narrator is much better suited for a story read by a man's point of view. made listening to book peculiar.

No Show Date

Beatrice’s date was a no show, because he had been murder, how did a friend of her’s get accused of it. A delightful story, good characters and desserts.Given audio also which I enjoyed the narration of. for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

Fabulous storyline

I Enjoyed this audio book very much
Hopefully they will be more audio books
Must read on your list

great who done it

great little who done it
good characters, nice pace easy to follow, the narrator use of tone and unusual voices made the book and characters seem somewhat older than it really is. this would put me off listening if the series continues

Cream puff murder

Sorry this wasn't for me. I found the characters annoying and didn't really like them. The mystery side only really had two suspects so no twist or surprise as to who the killer was. Also I don't know why the author choose to have a male narrator as the story was based around three ladies and even though he tried hard to make it enjoyable I think it would have play better with a female. The story line with the missing cat add a fun side to the plot and there was a few funny moments too.
When Beatrice's date doesn't show she is appalled to find out he was a womanizer and she wasn't the only date he had made. But that was no reason to kill the man. However the police are quick to believe it of her friend who is found standing over the body covered in blood, she to had been seeing him. Beatrice is quick to come to her friends defence despite the lies being told and when he cat goes missing she vows to free her friend from prison and find her cat because she can't stand to lose anyone else.
As I said the narrator wasn't right for this story but he did try hard giving the characters very different voices some a bit to high pitched and talked clearly and very precisely so was easily understand able.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
