AN OLD HOUSE...A DEAD BODY...AND A MYSTERIOUS YOUNG WOMAN. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE PAST MEETS THE PRESENT?

A mysterious young woman arrives in the small town of Shady Pines to renovate a beautiful old bed and breakfast, but is that her only reason for coming?
Misty Raven is on a mission, but she soon gets distracted when a body is discovered buried in the backyard of the bed and breakfast she just purchased. Could it be related to a murder that happened in the house fifteen years ago? While Misty searches for answers, someone doesn't want the truth uncovered and tries to stop her. When two more people are murdered, Misty realizes that she'll be next if she doesn't keep one step ahead of the killer. Can she solve the mystery before it's too late?

Amazon review - "Such a good mystery!! I had no clue who the killer was until the very end. Can’t wait till the second book becomes available."

Amazon review - " Wonderfully written mystery that moves along with captivating action and intrigue!"

Amazon review - "This book was an awesome read. It left you wondering what was going to happen on every page. Looking forward to the next book in this series."

Well, it's a freebie read by an AI.

I guess you get what you pay for. The AI voice is not lilting and does not move into the background like human voices do. A different part of my brain has to interpret it, and it's distracting. I'm not really a fan.

The story was ok, your typical cozy mystery. I like those for easy listening while I work, but the buzzy tone of the robot reader was distracting and kept me from focusing on my work.

Hated the AI voice

story was very good, but the AI voice was a disappointment. no inflection or feeling

Great story, terrible virtual voice narration

Even tho the story was excellent, I would not purchase another audio book with virtual voice. There is no emotion, or change in voice pitch between characters. It takes so much away from a great creative work.

Hire a real reader

I dislike the virtual voice very much! There's no inflection and pronunciation of some words was incorrect

Story was interesting. AI didn't go as well.

Overall the book was good enough to have to hear the next part. Wasn't to fond of long pauses at beginning of each chapter. The AI definitely needs a major tune up. Wasn't completely awful, but makes a big difference.

Very captivating story!

I love that there are multiple mysteries in one story! Love the way the book ends and can’t wait to read more!

Fantastic story full of twists and turns.

Love all the misdirection surrounding the murderer, it really kept me guessing. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

I do not care for the computer voice there is no differentiation between character voices but worse the emotion conveyed by the writer’s words gets completely lost.

I highly recommend you read this book (not listen to it.)

The AI voice was distracting

It’s a good story and interesting I’d like to hear the rest on the story!

Compelling Story

While I loved the story itself the virtual voice fails to invite you into the story and portray the emotions of the characters. The tones and inflections fall flat as if in monotone making listening a bit of a grind.

Interesting story, but ...

Interesting story, but the AI narration takes a lot away from it. Also, more editing would have helped the story, as the protagonist seemed to repeat herself/her feelings multiple times throughout.
