My favorite so far

I chose to listen to this book after receiving a free audio copy from iRead Book Tours. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

Fiona Quinn is about to get married (again) when she finally meets her mother-in-law. Rita Landry is quite a woman, and she and Fiona end up having to fly out of the country to get away from Russian agents. Fiona takes everything in stride, though, and she and Rita get along well. But will they make it back in time for the wedding?

In the meantime, Fiona’s wedding planner has been murdered! Will Nathan’s partner be able to solve that case while she’s out of town?

This is my favorite Fiona Quinn cozy mystery so far. Yes, there’s a murder, but the characters are colorful and there’s a lot of humor, so it’s a fun read rather than a serious one.

The narrator’s voice takes a little getting used to. It’s not as soothing as some of the audiobook voices I’ve heard, but now that I have listened to a few of these, I’m used to it, and it’s like listening to an old friend. Her timing and inflection were very good.

I recommend the Fiona Quinn mysteries, especially this one, which does stand alone. Time for me to start on the next one, Deep Blue Murder!
