Fun cozy mystery

This is a fun, cozy mystery with a twist I honestly didn't see coming. I received a free copy and left my honest review

Great characters

This was an enjoyable book to listen to. The characters were well rounded. I always love a good who-done-it.

Fun mystery

This is a light-hearted mystery featuring a wine, food and theatre blogger who stumbles on a pair of young wine thieves and makes her blog more popular by documenting their escapades.
She inadvertently gets drawn into mystery around a historical bottle of wine that came back from Egypt engraved with mysterious patterns. A series of murders of the team creating a historical exhibition about Nefertiti occurs, are these connected to the bottle? Francine investigates and nearly becomes another victim.
The writing is well done and the characters are well described, the pacing is also very good. I liked the narration although I thought that occasionally the wrong voice was used for the character. Overall an enjoyable listen.

This was fantastic

Girl power! This was a fantastic romcom/cozy mystery. I love Francine Witt. I did correctly figure out who the murderer was fairly quickly. It didn’t reduce my enjoyment of the story. I thought the narrator was fantastic. I’m American and hard of hearing and usually have terrible with accents but I was able to understand everything she said which is a rarity for me.

Well Written

This is the first book I've listened to by this author. It's very well written. And the narrator does a fantastic job bringing the characters to life.
