Murder with Cinnamon Scones

Daisy's Tea Garden Mystery Series, Book 2

By: Karen Rose Smith

Narrated by: C.S.E. Cooney

Daisy Swanson and her Aunt Iris run a delightful shop in Pennsylvania's Amish country with an emphasis on tasty teas and treats - but murder is not so sweet....

As local merchants unite to attract tourists for a much anticipated weekend quilting event, business is sure to spill over into eateries like Daisy's Tea Garden. Gorgeous craftwork is hanging everywhere - but among the quilts, potholders, and placemats, one gallery owner is wrapped up in some dangerous affairs....

Reese Masemer had been dating one of Daisy's employees, Tessa, an artist, though their last interaction was as strained as a cup of loose leaf tea. Now Reese has been found dead near a covered bridge where Tessa's been practicing her sketches. She's the obvious suspect, but Daisy's learning that there were some major secrets in Reese's background, and several of his relationships were infused with resentment. To save Tessa, she'll have to find out who's tainted this quaint little town with murder....

Recommend it

very well narrated, interesting story line, I enjoyed listening to it. I bought the other book by this author to listen to next

Not harsh

This book was interesting and the plot moved along well with twists and turns. The Narrator has a pleasant voice and is easy to listen too.

Stories as expected

The reading was done in an overly theatrical almost melodrama style. Made listening very difficult. I prefer a more natural and conversational reading.

cats

I didn't like to hear about the cats. She treated them like people. if you are silly about cats. then you will love this. I'm a dog person. the mystery is good but I can't take the silliness about the cats a more.

the storyline

mispronounced words like scones I don't know if the narrator did it on purpose or if that's the way she pronounces scones. maybe it's not scones maybe I'm wrong it just irritated me
