Welcome to Silver Pines—where the coffee’s strong, the locals are quirky, and even the furniture has secrets.

Fantastic Performance!!!

I adored this audio, the narrators did an amazing job bringing this story to life! The production was great. This is the second book in the series and I’m hooked it’s such a good small town cozy mystery!

Cute and Cozy

I got the opportunity to listen to the audiobook. Sebastien York and Eleanor Caudill are so good together! I was my first time hearing Eleanor and I'll definitely be going back to listen to more.

Murder at Maisie's was quick and fun. It has nice suspense and i was dedicated to unraveling the mystery along with Story. She's such a snoop! And this girl needs to start watching horror movies because i was yelling at her to walk AWAY from the noise, not towards it!!

This is a bit lighter than what i normally read, and not gonna lie, it took me out of my comfort zone! But I'm so glad i gave it a try!

An Entertaining Cozy Mystery

Murder at Maisie's is my first book by Lyla Blue, and I am looking forward to continuing the series! This small town cozy mystery, with a touch of slow-burn second chance romance, was an entertaining whodunit that I was able to finish in a day.

The residents of Silver Pines, especially Clare, Jackson, and their friends, are delightfully relatable and a touch off beat, making a perfect set up for future books. The plot was entertaining, clues cleverly laid out, and overall, made for an enjoyable fall afternoon.

I love a duet narration and with Sebastian York and Eleanor Caudill performing, Murder at Maisie's did not disappoint! They brought the characters and the town of Silver Pines to life. Both narrators did a fabulous job creating distinct voices for the characters, making the story easy to follow on audio. It may seem like a trivial detail to some, but I enjoyed the sound effect of a cell phone buzzing during one of the scenes.

This audiobook is sure to be enjoyed by cozy mystery fans looking for a new series!

Small Town Mystery that will keep you guessing

I listened to Murder at Maisie’s on audio through Blue Nose Audio and had such a great time with it. This one really delivers on that small town cozy vibe while still keeping the tension running just under the surface. I loved how the mystery unfolded piece by piece. Just when I thought I had something figured out, another detail slipped in and shifted everything. It kept me guessing in the best way.

The setting feels lived-in and warm, the kind of place where everyone’s connected, for better or worse, and that made the stakes feel personal. The narration fit the tone beautifully and made it so easy to sink right into the world. There’s something about the way the suspense and the everyday moments were blended that made this feel charming and intriguing at the same time.

If you’re in the mood for a cozy mystery with twists that sneak up on you, this is one I’d definitely recommend.

Cozy Mystery

Murder at Maisie's was an absolute joy to listen to. The narrators were perfectly cast and the story was filled with all the mystery and true crime I was looking for. I loved the mix of a charming town and a whodunit storyline that has the reader completely invested in the story.

Fabulous Introduction

What an introduction to the Silver Pine Mysteries! I really enjoyed this cozy mystery by Lyla Blue. Clare Garner is the inquisitive furniture gallery owner, working with her high school sweetheart, Jackson Barrett. Their relationship is vague, with a standing brunch date, but not much else. Very early on, Clare gets a surprise visit from her college boyfriend, Blake Catalano. Immediately, we are met with a strong love triangle vibe that lingers throughout the story. Clare finds herself truly torn when both of her beaus are suspects in the scandalous town murder.

This cozy mystery had it all. The quirky townspeople, the mysterious woman in sunglasses, and the Clare's adorable pets. I also liked that in the end, Clare really is her own woman and is determined to clear the names of both the men in her life. The audio was great! Sebastian York is a favorite of mine. Eleanor Caudill is a new-to-me narrator, and I thought she was simply fabulous. I can't wait to listen to more of her in the next book!

Murder in the mansion

Claire Garner lives in Silver Pines and runs a custom furniture business. She also loves restoring antique furniture and hopes to purchase an armoire at an estate sale. When she goes to see the item upstairs she finds the armoire damaged and inside is the body of a woman whom Claire is bidding against in a major corporate project. The suspects turn out to be her high school ex, Jackson Barrett, and Blake Catalano, her ex from college. Knowing them so well she knows neither of them could do it and she conducts her own investigation to prove she right.
A great start to a series. I enjoyed the setting and the town and all the interesting characters. The performance was also enjoyable.

Loving this series!

I really enjoyed the audiobook of Murder at Maisie’s. I liked it so much, in fact, I finished it in less than a day! The main character, Claire, was relatable and likable. All of the support characters, including the two potential love interests, were charming and engaging. The mystery kept me guessing, with quite a bit of suspense and a satisfying conclusion. The atmosphere gave perfect cozy small town vibes that made me want to move right in. Kind of a perfect cozy. The best part was the narration! I listen to audiobooks everyday, and this is one of the best narrations I’ve heard in recent memory. Sometimes, I don’t like multiple narrators for an audio, but this was done so well. I liked both the male and female narrations. Highly recommend! I’m looking forward to the rest of the series coming out on audio.

Two narrators who did an excellent job.

Clare was an easy character to connect with, and there was a lot of chemistry between the characters. I enjoyed the exchanges between Clare and Sheriff Pate. I appreciated that she ran a furniture business, a unique setting for a cozy mystery. The plot was entertaining with a touch of romance. The pacing of the book was well-paced, and the author’s writing style was lively. I listened to the audiobook, and I enjoyed that they had two narrators, both of whom did an excellent job.
