Critic reviews

“Larissa Reinhart’s books hook you in!” (CeeCee James, USA Today best-selling author)

Laugh Out Loud

Well there are many heartstopping moments and keep you on the edge of your seat guessing moments, most of the time I spent laughing out loud. Can’t wait to hear more by this author.

Macey

That lady gets on my nerves, she does and says the most craziest stuff that gets her in trouble 85% of the time 

Is that a Reindeer?? 😂

I laughed my behind off listening to this book!! There's so much humor and unexpected chaos, it's just too cute to miss. There's murder, and mystery, and love and you name it and your favorite characters are back to continue on their lives as Christmas approaches! Highly recommend!

Maisey does it again

I’m really liking the dynamics between Maisey and Nash. As the stories involve, the characters are evolving and becoming more three dimensional. And EZ still gets in her own way but the situation’s are becoming more complex and mature.

Crimes Most Merry and Bright

Yep great stories of the adventures (or calamities) of Maisie the once Wonder child star. She is retired from movie with and has moved on to wanting to become a PI. She is the assistant to a true PI in her home town on Georgia. This Christmas she takes on a case for a little old Gramma wanting her grand daughter to come home. Unfortunately the car is anything but simple.
The second story again had her peed against her reputation of a character she portrayed on screen. The crazies seem to crawl out of the woodwork for this one. To add to matters her little sister tries to help and it's heck on wheels for Maisie and her shirt of boyfriend.
Joan Dukore portrays Maisie and family with the right amount of accent and craziness!
Fantastic audio and story!!

Crazy-fun Christmas Cozy

I enjoyed Crimes Most Merry and Albright by Larissa Reinhart! There were chases, kidnappings, robberies, shenanigans, Cherry Tucker and Maizie Albright! Who could ask for more! The narration by Joan Dukore was wonderful!

two for one bonus

Both stories are humorous, suspenseful, and entertaining. The first one requires acrobatic talents throughout the story. or gymnastics
abilities. I marveled at the flexibility. The second one was a huge comedy of errors and slap stick moves. Fun and entertaining. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

Cozy Christmas Capers

I loved this collection. I only wish it was longer!

A View to Chill - I’ve been a fan of Cherry Tucker for years, but haven’t finished the series as only the first two books are available in audio and I’m looking forward to the day when they will all be available. And, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of Maizie’s adventures, so when I realized Cherry and Maizie cross paths in A View To Chill, I jumped for joy! I loved that the story is told through alternating view points of Cherry and Maizie.

Maizie finds herself cold, tired and wet as she takes on a case to help a grandma find her granddaughter at Christmas. Cherry finds herself feverish with the flu at Christmas. An unexpected southern ice storm leaves Maizie stranded at Cherry’s door and chaos begins - crazy weather, crazy family, crazy neighbors, and bank robbers! Maizie and Cherry will stop at nothing to find the girl and protect their family.

17.5 Cartridges in a Pear Tree - It’s New Year’s Eve and all Maizie wants is a cozy evening with Nash in front of the fireplace. But, she finds herself targeted by a crazed fan looking to buy or steal an artifact from one of her movies in order to save the world. To add even more chaos to the situation, Maizie has been left in charge of watching Remi since her father and step-mother are out of town. The story is filled with humor, tension and holiday spirit as Maizie, Remi, the Jacks, and Nash battle the crazed fan in this adventure.

I’m looking forward to the next Maizie adventure and I hope we see Maizie and Cherry cross paths again in the future.

I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
