Shake and Bake book 6

Shake and Bake by Ben Rehder, audiobook, 7 hours 24 minutes, 3/5

Johnny Pepper does an amazing job as the narrator

Another Roy Ballard mystery. This time, it starts as a simple case of seeing if someone is on the payroll and working. Or just on this dad's payroll because there was an insurance claim filed. Once a murder that changes everything.

Mia is having problems due to things that happened in the previous book, although an interesting side story. This book didn't have the humor some of the others did

A Masterpiece of a Mystery.

Have you ever read the opening of a book and it so captured your imagination and interest that you just couldn’t put it down? Shake and Bake is one of those books. I haven’t been captured by such an opening since my brother in law challenged me to read the prologue to Clive Cussler’s novel, ‘Raise the Titanic.’
Plot twists, hill country characters, and a splash of comedy make this Ben Rehder a must read.

unsatisfying

It's hard to believe how idiotic some people can be. Just plain old stupid. and yet they still live to tell the tale. I'm down with Roy's theory of a booby trap. The ending left me a bit empty. Mua is a bother to me. She doesn't seem committed and enthusiastic anymore. Is the series over???
I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job.
