A simple cozy mystery about the murder of a teen

Murder and Brandy Boy is a simple, clean cozy mystery revolving around a murdered high school senior who’s death may have been related to some grades being changed. This book was originally published in 2015, and it lacks the depth and quality of the author’s more recent work, but it is still a fun although somewhat tragic story.

The narrator speaks clearly and is easy to understand, but her reading does not do the story any favors. I sped her narration up a little as she talked rather slowly.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook. This is my honest and voluntary review.

lovely

I think this is my favorite one by this author so far. The narration was also good. I am definitely preferring the female narrations. An enjoyable mystery with a lot of younger characters.

Emotional Cozy Mystery

Liz Lucas, the owner of the Red Cedar Spa, has hired a teenager to help her in the kitchen to prepare meals for her guests. Just days before his graduation, the intern's car goes over a cliff under suspicious circumstances. Since the local law enforcement officer is incompetent, Liz decides to unravel the mystery regarding the teenager's death. As Liz investigates, she finds several people that might benefit from the demise of this teenager. Dianne Harman's cozy mystery series are fun and entertaining. This series includes two delightful canine companions, Brandy Boy and Winston, plus the reader is gifted with delicious recipes. Kelli Petroski's narration is great as her voice is clear and pleasant. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

I love listening to these short stories while doing my hobbies, they are very good and always include an animal character in them. The narration is good and the recipes at the end are a bonus.
