Coaching Fire

A Cat & Gilley Life Coach Mystery, Book 5

By: Victoria Laurie

Narrated by: Rachel Dulude

Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's summary

Gilley's whirlwind romance with creative director Stuart Jacobs began in Paris, where Stuart was sourcing fabric for the world-renowned Texas Rose Festival, which he is heading up for the first time. The festival is nothing short of spectacular, bringing in half a million people (and their wallets) to see the artistic displays, and exquisite gowns and jewels worn by the Rose Queen and her court. Stuart and his crew seem to have it all under control. But the night Cat arrives in Texas, someone is shot in cold blood, and a member of Stuart's staff is named the prime suspect!

The Rose Festival is too important to the city's economy to cancel, so while Stuart scrambles to prevent the festival from derailing, Cat and Gilley launch their own investigation into the murder. With a parade of potential suspects to parse, and an even longer list of motives, they bring in East Hampton Police Detective Steve Shepherd to help. As rumors of arson, burglary, and professional sabotage swirl around the already fraught festival planning, Cat and her team immerse themselves in the cutthroat pageantry to identify the killer, who has already picked their next victim . . .

Hit it out of the park!

Each Victoria Laurie title is a masterpiece, and this is no exception. The mystery, the danger, the love. A fantastic book with fantastic characters. I love every picture that is painted.

Fun and Suspenceful

I found this book easy to listen to, It's suspenceful (keeps you guessing) and entertaining throughout with a variety of charactors and interactions.

Another fun listen

Victoria is one of my favorite authors!! Such good story flow & great characters to care about!! Loved this series! What a way to end!

Awesome

I love this series the writing is spectacular and the narrator is amazing. Wonderful storyline too and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!

Lazy ish writing

I’m disappointed in Victoria Laurie’s writing in this one. The story itself was a 3 out of 5 and felt a bit lazy and anticlimactic. The main duo all of a sudden bump into the killer then get in a slight pickle for .5 seconds and it’s the end of the book. The narrating was wonderful as usual, and I enjoyed the sub story regarding the rose festival. The actual “mystery” part of story however was lack luster and disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend wasting the money/credit on this one.
