Cute Listen!

Murder Wears a Mask by Donna Doyle is a great listen. I loved the imagery the author wrote. The characters were endearing and the narration is spectacular. Leonor A. Woodworth was fantastic bringing the characters to life. She adds the right inflections to her voice. I loved it! This is the beginning of a new series and I look forward to more books in it.

Good Story. & narration

Good beginning to the series, liked the flow of the plot and the technique to prove he was innocent. Narration by Leonor always adds so much to the story and make them enjoyable to listen to. Given audio for my voluntary review

Even the dead wear masks on Halloween...

The skeleton of the story was quite promising, but the flesh was weaker than I'd have liked it to be. This just didn't have the punch I like to see in a murder mystery. It was too easy; too quickly tied up with a bow on top. I'm sure my review seems rather cryptic but I don't like to give too much away; read or listen to the story and make up your own mind. As they say, one man's meat is another man's poison.

Never underestimate the town librarian!

This is the kind of cozy that I love! It has all the elements. A little romance, a little family, and a lot of mystery all rolled up in to a fantastic story. Lucas is suspected of a murder he did not commit. After all, finding the body doesn't mean you are guilty. But there are dangerous people that will do whatever it takes to keep themselves safe. Fortunately, these people don't know Kelly Armello, the town librarian. She will do what it takes to find out the truth. With the help of police officer Troy Kennedy and some quirky, but helpful witnesses, this proves to be a case that can find a resolution! And what a surprise it is! Leonor A Woodward brings her talents to this fun, quick listen and made my day with this book. She brought each character the perfect personality and her storytelling is spot on! I really enjoyed this!

Awesome Listen!

Murder Wears a Mask by Donna Doyle is great listen. I loved how the author wrote a clean cozy mystery that had vivid imagery and endearing characters.
