Foundations, Funny Business & Murder

A Stacie Maroni Mystery, Book 2

By: Christa Nardi

Narrated by: Naomi Rose-Mock

The best of intentions shouldn't include murder.

An HR specialist and trauma counselor, Stacie is on the board of a fledgling non-profit foundation set up to benefit victims of domestic violence. After a slashed tire, attempted break in, and a murder, Stacie isn’t buying coincidental bad karma. Someone wants her off the board - at any cost. Her fancy surveillance equipment, impressive alarm system, and a ferocious Maltese dog offer only so much protection. That may not be enough when politics are involved. Enter Kevin McNair, a smooth talker with piercing blue eyes. Can she trust him with her heart or her life?

Fun cozy mystery

Overall fun listen mainly due to fast pace and good narration. Unfortunately, not as enjoyable as the first book in this series. There are too many unbelievable coincidences and far-fetched actions.

Great mystery series

Foundations, Funny Business & Murder is the 2nd in the Stacie Maroni mystery series by Christa Nardi. The book

GREAT BOOK

This is a great book. Christa Nardi is a great author. Her books will hold your attention. Can't wait to read the next.

Bad Luck or Deliberate?

I enjoy Christa Nardi's tales featuring Stacie Maroni. Stacie is intelligent, independent, and passionate about her causes. She is a board member of a foundation that helps victims of domestic violence. In this book, someone is working to have her removed from the board. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I recommend this series to others who enjoy this genre. Naomi Rose-Mock's narration is great and adds to the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

what's wrong with the board?

Foundations, Funny Business & Murder is the second installment in the Stacie Maroni Mystery series by Christa Nardi. I listened to an audio version of the book.

So, who is taking the members of the board out and why? I found this well-written, well-narrated, and entertaining. I found it interesting how emails went to some members and not others of the board and how there were more people invited to the board then there were slots.

Lots of twists and turns. Looking forward to installment number three.

A Great Cozy Mystery

I really enjoyed this one! Highly recommend the series to everyone. Nice for a easy listen!

Fun Quick Mystery

In this, book 2 of the Staci Maroni Mystery series, the investigation into issues surrounding the murder of Staci's husband, which happens in book 1 continues. This book begins six months after the murder. Very good. I recommend reading book 1 (Prestige, Privilege and Murder) first.

Narrator (Naomi Rose-Mock) is great. A true professional whose enunciation is good enough to allow increasing the speech rate. Additionally, she seems to be the age and type of the main character, from whose perspective the book is written.

Stacie finds a body

Foundations, Funny Business and Murder is book 2 in A Stacks Maroni Mystery by Christa Nardi. I really enjoyed this cozy. Stacie finds a body in an elevator and it's murder! I really like the characters. Kevin is Stacie's old "friend" and there is a little bit of tension when they are together especially when "Wade" is with them. It is not a triangle, but, it is complicated. I thought Naomi Rose-Mock did a fantastic narration. I believe that Christ a Nardi writes terrific mysteries. I am looking forward to listening to book 3, Deception, Denial, and Murder.

great mystery

I admired Staci's Independence, strength, and smarts, but her overlooking her security system was scary to me. Corruption and greed were lethal. I would have never guessed the villain. I had someone else picked out and was wrong. 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.

Intriguing

Always a pleasure to continue a series with familiar characters. The story changes but the players are very different.
