SOOO CUTE!!!!

This is the start of such a cute Cozie Mystery Series!! You will find your self caught up in Lily's world and you never want it to end!!!

Charming and Southern

I adored the sweet southern charm in this new cozy mystery from Carolyn Ridder Aspenson. With the author’s eye for details I was easily transported to Bramblett County. From page one I was hooked by the shocking murder of Mrytle Mae Redbeckere. My “who done it” list was surprisingly long for such a small, close knit community. Aspenson weaved quite the web and left me changing my suspect list several times.

This a perfect weekend read that flowed nicely with an intriguing storyline and complex characters. I look forward to reading other books in the series.

The Narrator
Stephanie Quinn was the perfect narrator for this sweet southern mystery! I laughed so hard throughout the story. She was the epitome of southern grace.

Being a Realtor Can be Deadly

Lily Sprayberry is a successful realtor. Right now she's dealing with a difficult client, a property dispute, hidden money and murder. It impressed me that she made all the craziness look easy. She's a sweet Southern bell but she has a backbone of steel. When Lily finds Myrtle's body, she's determined to find the person responsible. The Sheriff, Dylan Roberts, is her ex-boyfriend. The attraction is still there even though he left her. Their reaction to each other made me smile. The victim was a difficult person. She had many enemies and a few secrets. There were many twists that kept me guessing. I liked the characters with their sassy dialogue especially her BFF, Belle Pyott. This small town filled with quirky people added drama to the story. I like the writing style of Carolyn Ridder Aspenson. Her characters are original and her storylines fast paced. This is a great start to the Lily Sprayberry Realtor Cozy Mystery series. I especially enjoyed this audiobook. Stephanie Quinn did a wonderful job with her narration. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Needed A Little More With The Characters

Murder with a realtor showing a house in the south with twists and turns. I was a little confused with the relationships with the characters.

Sweet Southern Cozy

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This was a sweet cozy mystery with a likeable main character. I did not like the relationship with her ex at all but maybe I will understand their relationship better in the next book. I loved the narrator's southern accent but I did not really enjoy her male voices and some of the older women's voices.
