Mystery with pets involved

Liked these stories! Plots were good enough to keep me guessing! And I didn't get all of them right! Loved that the animals didn't get hurt too bad..
the narration could have been better. As far as getting into character with some of it. The bad guy shouldn't sound high pitched and whiny.. the mother should be more stern sounding like they portray her to be.
I would recommend this book for sure!

A fun cozy mystery collection

This is a fun collection of the first five stories in the Polly Parrett Pet-Sitter Cozy Mysteries series. Each story is stand alone, but they definitely follow a timeline. I'd recommend listening or reading them in order.

Liz Dodwell has done a great job of developing Polly into quite the quirky individual. I found myself chuckling out load at some of the situations she got into.

It was so easy to get drawn into the stories with Jennifer Fournier narrating. She really brought Polly (and all the other characters) to life with just the right level of emotion and expressions.

These stories definitely fall into the "cozy" category. They are not anything super thought provoking, but are a nice diversion when commuting or doing other tasks.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

They're good for what they are--cozy stories. With pets. Cute pets.

What about Jennifer Fournier’s performance did you like?

I thought the narrator did a terrific job. She has a pleasant voice--soothing, but not monotonous.
