Length: 3 hrs and 44 mins

Publisher's summary

The perfect first date. Good food, romantic setting, good vibes. Until a woman screams and a shot is fired.

As a trauma counselor, Stacie Maroni doesn’t hesitate to barge through the fray. Nor does her date, Detective O'Hare. With the case falling outside his jurisdiction, O’Hare and Stacie should simply be witnesses. Emphasis on should. As contradictory information emerges, things get complicated, and Stacie’s involved whether she likes it or not. Good thing O’Hare has her back.

Mystery with a side of romance.

Progressing nicely

This is the seventh in the series. I liked the story and Stacie’s involvement throughout without putting herself in harms’ way.
The budding romance between Michael O’Hare and Stacie Maroni did not over power the mystery. There were plenty of twists and suspects.

I listened to this book. The narrator enhanced the story.

I recommend you take a look into the series. The characters are strong and developed.

Cute Mystery

I liked this cute mystery. Narrator Naomi Rose-Mock voiced the story well. I liked the characters. It was easy to listen to it.

Great Book

Love Christa Nardi's books. I hope that Staci will end up with Ohare. They sound like a good couple. Now on to another series of Christa's.

Another one Hit out of the ball park

Another great book, you made me second guess my theory about who did it!

The narrator is also above average.

Fist pumping perfection! I loved everything about this story!

A first date should involve a nice dinner, soft music and good conversation, unless you’re Staci Maroni! When she and Detective O’Hare go on their first date, it’s a woman screaming and shots fired! “Keepsakes, Karma & Murder” is an everything you could wish for and more mystery with a delightful slice of romance! This writing is fantastic! The characters, all fabulously human, all beautifully defined and developed! As much as I love the characters, and I do LOVE them, the shining star is the dialogue and the way the characters interact with each other! It is so realistically written that I feel like I am hiding in the bushes, behind menus, and in closets eavesdropping! And the plot, WOW! This clearly explained smooth flowing plot (no spoilers) is phenomenal! I love how it artfully builds, keeping me on the edge of my wits, right up to the heart stopping reveal! Everything about this story was so well done, so delightfully fist pumping perfect! I loved it! Adding to the perfection was the fabulous narration that brought both the amazing dialogue and the fantastic scene setting to life, beautifully enhancing the enjoyment and making Keepsakes, Karma & Murder a five star experience all around!

excellent!!!

This was a very suspenseful and excellent mystery. It made me think a lot and try to decide who done. Of course, I was wrong again. I enjoyed the build up and the possible suspects, because it added interest and depth. This is a great series I love listening to. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

Christa Nardi gives us another exciting murder mystery!

This is book 7 in the Stacie Maroni mysteries, and each book gets better and better. Stacie and O’Hare go on a date to a fancy restaurant when they hear a scream and the detective rushes toward the sound. Then there’s a gunshot from the same direction, and Stacie rushes after Michael. Even though she is only a bystander and didn’t witness the actual murder, Stacie becomes a target.

Having a capable, intelligent main character in a cozy mystery is refreshing, and Stacie does not disappoint in this 7th tale. She and her friends are a great support system for one another, and each brings a different level to the story. Starting the series from the beginning isn’t necessary, but you miss out on a lot of back story and growth of all the characters.

The supporting police officers from two jurisdictions are also competent, and Stacie and her friends have no doubt that they will provide protection and solve the crime, even if it means taking seriously any of Stacie’s and her friends’ ideas, suppositions, and clues.

The narrator, Naomi Rose-Mock, does an excellent job, and her voice is pleasant to hear. I’m looking forward to book 8 in this series.

I received this book from the author in a giveaway, for my honest opinion.

Great addition to the series

Keepsakes, Karma & Murder is #7 in the Stacie Maroni Mystery series. Stacie finally goes out on a real date with Det. O’Hare. Everything is perfect, until it’s not. A scream, a shot and a murder interrupts their evening. Then Stacie then gets drawn into the case because of her ex-husband’s ties to the country club set. I love the way the characters develop through the series. The narration by Naomi Rose-Mock is wonderful as always. The characters come alive with her performance and the story is enhanced. I received a free copy of the audiobook for my honest review.

Great cozy!

Love this series and this one doesn’t disappoint. Also works well as a stand alone. Fun cozy mystery that keeps you guessing. I received a free copy and left my honest review

Dynamic Cozy Mystery

I enjoyed book 7 of the "Stacie Maroni Mystery" series a lot. This book moved from one exciting scene to the next as Stacie became part of the murder investigation. I was very entertained by the character of Stacie as she was intelligent, brave, and vocal. Once the audiobook had started, I listened to the end as I had to know what would happen next. I'm looking forward to more Stacie Maroni mysteries. Naomi Rose-Mock's narration was good as her performance gave a voice to the characters. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.
