An enjoyable story

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I thought this was a fun mystery story that was easy to listen to. The narration is well done and the characters are engaging. Although this is the fourth book in the series, and my first story in it, I was able to easily jump right in and follow the story. I didn't really feel lost at all.

An Awesome Listen

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and found it very entertaining. Life is never dull for Deena Sharpe, a retired school teacher turned investigator. Deena finds her next case by tripping over him in a haunted house. Through a series of misadventures Deena tries find out what happened to the town drunk. The suspense and humour never stop in this delightful tale set in small town Texas. Looking forward to the next book.

Fun Listen

I enjoyed listening to this fun lighthearted mystery, a change from the dark mysteries. Deena is a retire teacher and wannabe investigator and main character who is trying to solve the murder of church custodian. At first I disliked Sylvia, Gary’s mother and Deena’s mother in law but then ended up liking her. Recommend to anyone who enjoys a fun, easy mystery with twists.

Great Mystery!

This is a great book; this is the fourth book in the Maycroft Mystery series and is written by Lisa Thomas and narrated by Kelley Hazen. Deena Sharpe is a retired teacher and is now a rookie investigator, she wants justice for the wrongly accused. When she trips over a dead body in the church’s haunted house the police try to pin it on one of her clients. She is determined to prove her client innocent and find the real killer. This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you listening long into the night. If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read this book. I really enjoy this narrator, she is one of my favorites. She does a fantastic job with all the voices and kept my attention until the end.

Another good installment in the series...:)

This is no. 4 in the series (and the third I listened to), and it's the best installment so far:)

Deena Sharpe is the kind of character readers really like - a bit nosy (which is a good quality in a PI, right?) but also loyal, intelligent, warm, and with that spark of humor that makes her adorable even when she tries to be naughty...

This time there's a hard task ahead of her - how can she defend someone she personally thinks is guilty of the crime? But then new evidence comes to light and things stop being seemingly obvious, more suspects appear as more facts are uncovered, and finally Deena's conscience is satisfied:)

The books in the series are quite short, but the plots are logical, with enough red herrings and enough twists to keep you glued to the pages. As usual, we get a satisfactory although quite unexpected ending, but this time Ms Thomas added a cherry on the cake in the form of Deena's mother-in-law, Sylvia - I loved her character a lot:)

Narration by Ms Hazen is very good; it adds an emotional layer to the book, allowing you to relate to the feelings of the individual characters much better. I especially loved her interpretation of Sylvia - the voice given to that character just tells you everything about her and makes her sooo real in her cute annoyance (yes, it's possible to be cutely annoying:)).

Definitely a must for cozy mysteries lovers - whether you've read/listened to the other three parts or not:)
