Great story

Lili Dubuque is a wonderful narrator great charactors enjoyable listening for everyone i always enjoy Meredith Potts books

Cozy Mystery

Cozy mysteries are among my favorite genres to read. Ms. Potts writes well from a technical standpoint, and her story flows well. I think this was an early novel, as it has some of the problems of a newer author. She hadn't mastered "show, don't tell" and the scenes in which the police officer is blustering around, demanding answers & accusing his people of interest of lying is (I hope) not terribly realistic. That said, I liked the narrator (I listened to the audiobook) and the characters & story, and will continue to listen to this series. I related to the newly empty-nest mom/protagonist who has an only daughter a little too well! She definitely captured my sympathy!

Chocolate Cupcakes with a Side of Murder

Sabrina Carlson is at a crossroads..her daughter has enrolled into the police academy. Sabrina and her dad are dropping her off at the academy. Now she's learning how her mother felt over the years when she was younger and investigating. As life goes along with the Carlson's adjusting to being empty nesters, a late call one night sets events into motion. A fire at a policeman's home comes in and a body is found..a friend of both Carlson's. Now the hunt is on to discover who murdered the policeman.
Lili Dubuque is a fantastic narrator and brings each character to life.
Fantastic audio and story.

Good story

This is a good story/book but narrators/readers leave a lot to be desired. Monotone reading gets real old real fast to the point I could punt wait for the end. I may buy the book and be able to enjoy it better.

Chocolate Cupcakes with a Side of Murder

I have to say I have been enjoying these books 📚 of late. I am really able to catch up on a lot of my reading without straining my eyes. Thank you Miss Potts

Great quick listen

This is a really great, short, cozy. Plenty of action to hold your interest. I like the husband and wife sleuthing team; Sabrina, a coffee shop owner and her policeman husband David. The story is engaging so you will want to go on to the next in the series. (And it will leave you wanting a cupcake.)

Very tame mystery

I think I should look up the definition of "cozy mystery'" I guess this one qualifies because it is not at all scary. I also felt some of the attitude shown by the officers when interviewing suspects was a bit rude and set a bad example.

Family issues tossed with a murder, fun story

This was another good story. I loved the interactions between Sabrina and her daughter Jessica. Again, clues to the murder made it easy to follow the action. Another good performance by Lili Dubuque with narrating this story. I have been listening to this series out of order but it has not taken away from each story.

I received a copy of this audiobook as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.

Good read
