Deadly Business

Maid for Murder, Book 1

De: Susette Williams

Narrado por: Allyson Voller

Bailey inherits her grandfather's business, Maid For You, but cleaning up dead body parts wasn't part of the job description. Bailey hopes to wipe out crime with the help of Nate, her computer hacker assistant, despite protests of their involvement in the case from Detective Max Wellington.

As the threads of deceit unravel, the murders begin to break out like a case of Bubonic Plague. Bailey uncovers deception, corruption, and a few secrets that may forever change her life.

Bailey is a Christian, struggling to keep on the path she knows is right, fighting the temptation of the hunky Detective Max Wellington, who would like nothing more than to take her into protective custody, for more than just interfering in police business.

Deadly Business

Any additional comments?

Overall this was a light, clean, fun and entertaining cozy mystery. Almost a slapstick kind of story where the main character is concerned. There are so many "suspects" you never really know who the "culprit" is until the end. At the same time you are left with many unanswered questions. This is the first in the series so eventually we'll get all the answers.

This is not a cozy mystery I would recommend for people who don't usually listen to books with a Christian theme. Some of the religious references/thought's could have been omitted. It would have made the MC so much more likable.

Really just didn't care for Bailey's character. She came across as ditsy and judgmental. Really liked Max's character.

Obviously Nate is involved in whatever setup is going on.

While it is mentioned in the synopsis that the main character is a Christian and I have no problem with that, but the she comes across as very judgmental/preachy regarding religion for most of the book. She even gets jealous of another woman at one point and talks about writing her phone number on a bathroom wall and thinks "woman like her". Just because you have a set of standards for yourself doesn't mean you have the right to judge other people who have different standards. That's not a "Christian" thing to do. You don't have to go to church every Sunday to be a good person, have Christian values or have good moral character. She spends much of the book talking about how it won't work between them but leads him on several times. The man is not a mind reader. Until you have actually spoken to someone about religion you should not automatically assume a relationship wouldn't work, or that they would be unwilling to invest the time or effort into "joining" you in that religion. People convert all the time.

Allyson Voller did a really good job with the narration. Nice voice. Easy on the ears. Clearly spoken. Nice even pace of narration. Good character voices. She really captures the ditsy persona of the MC. Overall very enjoyable.

Good book

If you could sum up Deadly Business in three words, what would they be?

murder, mystery, cleaning

What did you like best about this story?

I liked how Bailey came across the dead in the beginning completely by accident and was brought in like a suspect. I didn't really like how the police officers had attitudes from the beginning and felt like very time they talked they were almost yelling at everyone about everything.

I liked how i wasn't able to figure out everything, some things yes, but not everything

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

No i haven't.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed at a few parts, but i mainly got annoyed at Bailey's attitude when talking to the police officers and all the force laughing she did. It did make me want to reach into the book and slap her upside her head for being an idiot.

Nice, clean murders

Small town country girl inherits cleaning business in the city from estranged grandfather and has a lot of learning experiences. Centering around murdered dead people. Bailey is young, curious, and wishes she had a leash on her tongue. She has an employee who is a computer geek to help her get out of trouble and a police detective who'd like to..... Raised a Christian with a lot of rules, she has a difficult time keeping to the narrow path, but there is no denominational proselytizing, just a really nice cozy mystery with plenty of humor.
Allyson Voller portrays Bailey with a voice just as perky as Bailey is.

could not stop listening

Bailey drove me a bit nuts but I LOVED max! I was so engrossed with the story I didn't want to stop listening for a second. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
